Singer Lawrence A CPA

If your looking for a helpful CPA, this is not the one. Very rude and very negative, he has no people skills at all. (IRS if your looking to hire he is your man) Guaranteed if you go to him for tax services you are going to owe!

I have been a good client of his for the past 5 years. He has always done a good job. However, he crossed the line professionally when he started YELLING at me on the phone. RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL!
To explain: His paperwork listing his services and pricing states that he will do a rush job (under one week) for an additional 15%. I contacted him when I realized I would need this expedited service in order to apply for Ca Covered in time for the deadline. I emailed to confirm that he could do it before I drove to Alameda to give him the paperwork. He emailed back stating it wouldn’t be fair since he already had 80 returns to do. I was confused because I thought that is why I would be charged the 15%- to get bumped to the front of the line (after any other clients also paying that 15% naturally) He never responded so I called him the next day and he went OFF on me! Started YELLING at me about how he doesn’t have time to talk to me, and all I was trying to ask nicely– was– do you offer this service or not? Were his other 80 clients paying that 15% or not? He said they were not, so I am mystified as to why he offers a rush service but then become VERBALLY ABUSIVE when a good client asks to hire him in that capacity. RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL! You have lost my business forever. I would Never speak (yell, actually) to a client like that– NEVER!
I found someone nearby ~ Sarkis Tax Service in El Sobrante~ that was able to get my taxes done in 3 days, no surcharge, was half the price and spoke to me like a normal human being. They now have my lifelong business.
