Victor is awesome to work with. He was able to still fit me into his schedule for getting my business taxes done when the due date was a few weeks away. He is very knowledgeable and gave me some great advice about my bookkeeping that my bookkeepers and CPAs have never mentioned to me before; saving me money. His prices are reasonable, but the value is exceptional. If you aren't getting your taxes done with Victor, you're burning cash.

Victor has been handling my taxes and other financial services needs for 5 years now. He's super professional and takes the time to explain things and give me options that make sense for my situation. He truly cares about my financial health and he's saved me a ton of money and headaches. I've been an employee and contractor through the last few years and no matter what it's been painless and rewarding to work with him!
Thanks, Victor!
PS he also is very business savvy, so if you're an entrepreneur or contractor, I can't recommend him highly enough.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I can't recommend Victor and the Tax Council enough! He is extremely knowledgeable and always has answers to my questions. He is soft spoken, patient and has the ability to immediately put you at ease, which was important to me.
The real reason I stick with Victor is because he REALLY cares about his clients. For instance, last year I had an important tax document that needed to be mailed to the IRS by a certain deadline. It was a very chaotic period in my life and I completely forgot about it. Victor on the other hand, had not forgotten about it and sent me a text asking if I had remembered to send it.
Wow. What a lifesaver! I was able to get the document in the mail and postmarked just in time! Now keep in mind, this was my responsibility and not Victors. He just cared about me and my financial situation enough to go out of his way to follow up with me. That kind of dedication and commitment to his clients is something you can count on from Victor.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

victor espino, your response to bbb complaint is unsatisfactory. you are supposed to be of service to cuistomers and not inconvenience them by meeting with you @ your beckon call, by not making demands on them and. not lying about their refusal to go to you. you failed to provide honest and excellent service and have. done this with other former female clients. you've even lied on your response to the bbb. i kept requesting my tax information from you thru messenger several times. it took you a couple months to return my information and it only costed $7.50. do you wish to see the postage? i still have the envelope. had you been honest and helped me with filing my returns, i never would have terminated your services. i am a business woman and treat my clients with professionalism, honesty and integrity. these traits are something you should learn in business.

Sorry we weren't able to help you good luck!
Aug 13, 2020Previous reviewbesides the constant disputes over money and the handling of tax returns, i requested my irs letters and have been waiting 3 weeks for them. im have no idea what train there's been constant arguing back and forth . it's very simple. if espino would just mail my documents, i can move forward.i am sorry, that i didn't sooner and find someone more helpful and cooperative.
Jul 30, 2020Previous reviewi was referred to victor espino by a former coworker approximately 1 1/2 years ago. initially, he quoted $124 to file on a 1099. 1st time meeting him at his office, he charged me $150. i told him he quoted me $124. 2nd time meeting with espino, he charged $150 and demanded a deposit for next tax return. then at some point after that espino did a tax return without discussing my exemptions efiled it and demanded payment via venmo. i needed return to be amended. he was going to charge me an extra $100 for the amendment. after that, he did the paperwork for 2 more tax returns and demanded payment without my signature. who operates like that? i think he's shady! just now he's arguing with me on messenger telling me is all my fault. for what??? something is off about this accountant.

I have two years coming to Victor and i am more than satisfied with his knowledge and professionalism. For someone like myself whom gets easily lost in words, Victor was able to easily explain to me the new tax reforms and debunk many of the theories and fears people have about filing taxes. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who have their doubts, he will set your mind at ease as he gives you the best tax return possible.

I've known this guy for five years, while I too am in the financial field, Victor's specialization in taxes is extensive and I refer him all of my clients that can benefit from his knowledge. The cases we've worked on together have really helped families make and save more. What I like most about his style is its very educational based and geared towards the side of prevention. If you like saving money now on this years tax bill and would like to overall decrease your future tax liability, this is the guy to turn to. Oh yeah, although he's also been on TV talking about this stuff, he's more down to earth and makes taxes more "fun" and easier to understand than other tax adviser I've known.
