John is very knowledgeable and good at asking all the right questions and helping with my taxes. What I like most about this office is they are always available year around to answer any questions I may have.

I had been using John Wilson for years but an error in my taxes this year ended up costing me $2,500 + interest and penalties now due to the CA FTB! I tried contacting John consistently for almost 3 months to get to the bottom of a notification sent to me by the CA FTB and he never had any updates for me. Meanwhile, I simply collected more penalties and interest! He finally admitted it was an accounting mistake on his part and now I have it in writing!

I don't know why it has taken me so long to review the best tax accountant in San Diego. I have been going to Michael for over a decade and he is the best of the best. He is careful and doesn't miss a thing. He is also there to remind me what deductions I can take and what I can't. His prices are very reasonable and he always remembers who I am and we pick up our conversation, year after year, catching up like no time has passed. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone! By the way, he is great with business taxes as well! This guy knows his stuff!

Back in the good old days, I used a CPA up in Los Angeles - lived there for years, had buildings and equipment and all sorts of hoops to ram my taxes through. When I moved to San Diego, my line of work became decidedly freelancier, but the taxes didn't get any less complicated, and it turned out I still needed a good tax guy. A vendor I work with had used the Pauley half of Pauley & Wilson for years, and suggested I give them a try.

It was a good recommendation - John Wilson has been ahead of the curve on several "challenges" I've encountered in tax-crazy CA, and I haven

Mike Pauley has been my CPA since I was 16. How old am I now? let's just say alot older. I've never had any with my taxes since I've been working with him. Mike is knowledgable on current tax laws, his rates are very reasonable and he's conveniently located in la mesa. Definitely recommend him.
