My husband and I have been clients of Daryl's since I believe 1995. He has given us the best advice and guidance from not only taking great care of our taxes but also buying and selling property and retirement issues. He and his staff are genuine good people and we trust them implicitly.

Jamie Forsberg, Senior Tax Preparer - Incorporation Specialist at Fick, Bravo & Associates is one of a kind! She is an expert in her field. She is quick to respond, efficient and a true professional. My taxes are complicated and she has done a fantastic job year after year to put me into a good position and make sure I get everything I am entitled to regarding deductions. This year I needed to incorporate and she has been invaluable in making this an easy transition and making sure that I am protected. I will continue to use her services until one of us retires. :)

John Greenman at Fick Bravo did an excellent job with my taxes. He was very responsive and despite a complicated tax year he did a thorough job and was always available to explain things to me. In addition, he went the extra mile and called the FTB and IRS on my behalf so that we could see the larger picture. I highly recommend this firm.

I have been a client of Daryl Fick for over 10 years now. I originally worked directly with Daryl but as his firm grew, I was passed over to Javier Bravo then now I am working with Robert Taylor. All whom I have had the pleasure of working with have been amazing. If you are considering changing CPA's, consider Daryl B. Fick & Associates. They are one AWESOME group. Robert Taylor is very thorough and extremely helpful when it comes to explaining the ins and outs of tax implications, etc. They are all very professional and knowledgeable.

I would highly recommend DBF Tax services and their staff of highly qualified accountants. Running a business and having professionals like Javier B., John G. and Ilse B. on your side to tackle IRS/FTB issues that arise throughout the year has been a both a time and cost saver. Let these team of experts handle your taxes & accounting so you can do what you do best. And, get on their APP plan which literally just saved me hundreds and so much time. The plan more than pays for itself! Thank you DBF Tax!

I highly recommend this firm.

A few years back I had meet Javier Bravo and he talked me into having them do both my personal and business taxes, and WOW I was AMAZED oh the great customer service I received, not only from Javier but his whole staff. In 2016 I noticed a change in attitude and customer service but because of the previous years I just figured it was growing pains. This last year I had dropped off my taxes in March and they were finally ready in September. Really 6 months? Are you guys that busy? I guess my biggest complaint I have is the customer service. Now don't get me wrong when I started using them

We are a small business owner and we were told over and over again that we would never be able to purchase the horse ranch we leased. Javier turned that all around! He had all the right contacts and knew all the correct steps to take and within 13 months we were home owners. We owe it all to Javier, seriously.

Javier has been doing my taxes for almost 10 years, I can't believe it has been that long! I went from a small LLC return and simple personal return, to now owning 2 large businesses, and a much more complex personal return. I have always felt like a valued client, and I have never had an issue getting an appointment. Additionally, I have always felt like we have been on the same page, which is invaluable when trying to plan for the future.

So its a bit sad writing this review, but since I have referred a few dozen folks to Daryl, I thought I had better sound the warning bell. Daryl has done my taxes for 30 years. I enjoyed (as much as one can) the hour or so every year that Daryl and I would sit and get through the years stuff, BS about our personal lives and talk shop. He even coined my wife's "occupation" on our return the very first year as "Domestic Goddess", she's liked him ever since, so have I, but times they are a changin'.
Starting a couple of years ago there was a perceptible change

I am extremely happy with my experience working with Javier Bravo, Christopher Noble and Robert Taylor at Daryl B Fick CPA. I have an extremely challenging Corporation Structure and had two of the largest and most respected San Diego Based CPA firms (who I had been working with for over 10 years) tell me they were unable to create a strategy to complete the taxes. This forced us to file extensions for several years and incur stiff penalties. Finally I called Javier and his team and they were able to come up with a very simple strategy to tackle the taxes and come up with a very positive result

The best tax prepares in San Diego County, I was treated with respect and most of all the kind of customer service you wish to receive all the time. Javier Bravo not only guided me through the process and most of all took his time explaining every detail and made me feel comfortable through the whole process. I received the best return to date and will continue to be a loyal customer for years to come. 5 stars was all I could give, due to the fact that was the maximum. ;-) I recommend them to all and everyone!!!

I used to do my own taxes using Turbo Tax and I thought I was doing pretty well. However, since I have a rental property now and I am looking at doing more retirement savings, I decided to try a CPA firm. Chris was incredibly helpful. He not only got me another thousand dollars back on this year's taxes, he also amended my taxes for the prior two years and I got another $2,800 back in refunds. Chris has always been very professional and responsive. I highly recommend Daryl B. Fick, CPA.

Revising my review from when Fick ran this company. There is a new sheriff in town. Apparently a Mr Bravo is taking charge of this office. He seems to be making right on the wrongs done by Fick. So far, so good, and I certainly appreciate him reaching out to me to apologize and to do his best to make things right again. Mr Bravo has acted with integrity and has done all that he said he would, including follow ups. I am placing him in charge of a small portion of my taxes, and as I said, so far, so good.
