I own a local bookkeeping firm and have been working work with Seghetti Waxler since 2015. They have been a huge help to both myself and my clients on so many levels. Whether it’s helping me to communicate with the IRS, providing me with tax advice, or filing a tax return, they are my go to. I trust them to get the job done right while holding our hands through some complicated issues. They are available year round, not just in March & April, which can’t be said for a number of other firms. If you are looking for a professional, friendly, responsive CPA firm you have found them.

I feel CPA's today are like going to the doctor your in an out in 5 minutes. Thomas is patient an takes his time to help you out, he is a very skilled CPA up on all the new laws he helped me with my tax returns from my business an was very detailed . I would highly recommend him.

In my opinion there are two main problems with CPA's in Santa Cruz County; 1.) they are a banana peel away from death (or retirement), and 2.) there is absolutely no proactive communication or advice on how you can be doing things through the year to make a real difference when April 15th rolls around. After years (and four CPA switches) attempting to get some proactive advice on how to make some changes that would actually effect our tax situation, and then ending up with four lackluster CPA's who never did *anything* preventative let alone actually return a phone call without acting put out, coming to Tom and Cristian has been truly life changing. They take the advice part of their role seriously, and if you put in the time to adhering to their recommendations it will make a real difference when it's time to file your return. I am rarely happy when I leave my April CPA appointment with a large ol' tax bill, and somehow leaving my appointment with Tom (and still having to pay the IRS, though not nearly as much) isn't nearly as painful! Also Staci and Shelley are fantastic and are very efficient on the administrative side of the office operation.
