John is extremely honest. I didn't even hire him as a CPA, but he helped me get clarity on our initial call saying he probably wasn't the right fit for us. What a great guy!

John and his team may be great CPA's based on the Google recommendations but be aware the company is not accepting new clients as of May 2022.it would be great if they posted that on the website

I just had a consultation with John a few minutes ago. It was so amazing that he took the time to look at my monthly budget and challenge me on my own personal fears about starting my business. He also guided me in the right direction to find free money to support me as I am starting up. This consultation was such a blessing for me any motivation to finally do what I Gotta do. Thank you so much for all you do and I know that I will continue working with you!

John walked me through the entire process and made me understand what was being done. He takes the time and makes every concession so that getting documents and file to him is the easiest process. I will use John for years to come and will recommend him to every one.

Had a phone consultation and he answered all my questions, very knowledgeable and helpful. I am a freelancer in a creative industry, so I had questions about the AB5 bill and how that affects freelancers in similar situations. Thank you!

BEWARE of John Weldon. Does not respond, does not follow up, unprofessional. Took $500 and never successfully filed and caused immense damage to my business. Very defensive and never takes responsibility. Refuses to give a refund. You can find much better.

I've been using John Weldon now for 5 years and I find John and Vicky and Andrew even from the first few years makes me feel more than confident about my tax filings. I know I saved as much money possible using the John Weldon CPA firm in Santa Monica California Michael S

John Weldon and the people that work with him are really great to work with. Accounting is not my favorite thing to do and they make it very matter of fact and low stress. And do a great job for a fair price. I recommend this firm to friends, family, and you.

I have worked with various firms around the United States, and I can enthusiastically offer that the professionalism and expertise displayed by everyone at John W. Weldon is one-of-a-kind! During my first encounter, I shared a conversation with Cathy. She displayed an in-depth knowledge of tax strategy, legal compliance, and overall financial acumen that is rare. If you want a true partner, you should strongly consider John W. Weldon!

I've had a fantastic experience working with Cathy Cisneros on my corporate accounting and taxes. She's so helpful, responsive and makes me feel comfortable asking her all kinds of questions. My husband and I have also used John Weldon's company for our personal taxes and have been very satisfied!

I've been a customer of John Weldon for over 20 years. John and has team handle our personal income taxes, as well as our Corporation and payroll taxes. I feel confident that the information they give me helps me better manage my business and maximize our allowable expenses to help save money. They are very professional, thorough and responsive. I would highly recommend them for tax filings, consultations, investments, retirement accounts, and more.

My business partner and I had a consultation with John in which he really walked us through his services clearly as well as gave us some helpful information and advice that I wouldn't expect to receive until paying someone for their expertise. Really grateful for his time and seems like his services are of great value!

I spoke to Cathy Cisneros for a small business startup consultation. Not only did she take the time to answer my via email, she also took the time to speak to me on the phone for about 30 minutes. Will definitely be coming back for advice and to get my taxes done.

Honestly, an excellent experience and the turn-around was phenomenal. I connected with Cathy who is very professional and patient with a "let's get it done" attitude. I have a budding non-profit and needed the right insights and guidance. They know their business well, answered all my questions and took my calls promptly. When you work tirelessly, it's great to spend your hard-earned money with a business that makes you their priority.

I received everything I needed and beyond at a reasonable rate. They are straight forward and will even tell you when you can do something yourself to save money. I am grateful that I found them and without reservation I highly recommend John W. Weldon's firm!

John Weldon and his team have been nothing short of fantastic in their service for both myself and my wife over the past few years. They are incredibly professional, responsive, detail oriented, and go above and beyond in their efforts. You won't find a better CPA group. Many thanks!

2019 tax year was my first time using John's services and overall I couldn't be happier! Price: it is more than I paid last year but new tax status with deductions, etc. I'll be happy to return for 2020 taxes.

No bells and whistles, and no BS - just professional, timely, and effective tax solutions. With his decades of experience, John Weldon can walk you through the most complex aspects of your CA small business accounting needs. Not only that, but he goes above and beyond by taking care of all faxes and correspondence with the FTB (I confidently signed a Power of Attorney for him to help me).

If you are intimidated by all the requirements from the CA SOS and the FTB, I highly recommend John to help you navigate, and quickly resolve any small-business tax concerns. He will answer all your questions thoroughly, print out all the copies you will need, and either tell you, step by step, what you need to do or even help you through execution. Finally, it is very easy to work with his platform to submit forms over the internet and his staff is very friendly and helpful as well.

I came to see John for a consultation on a tax situation that I really had no idea how to approach or resolve. John pointed me in the right direction and explained what I should do next, all within the time frame of the free consultation. Now my stressful situation feels a lot more manageable, and I would definitely return for more of his CPA services.

I highly recommend John Weldon to do your taxes. He is soooo knowledgeable about everything from taxes to financial situations. I have known John for many years now and he's a number one accountant to do your taxes. I also recommend clients to him.

He seemed nice at first and I was sorry to discover his fondness for our president.telling myself that was irrelevant, I pressed forward. But his estimated cost for doing my taxes was triple what I was expected to pay (and eventually did pay) and I was happy to have a real reason to leave. He is way overpriced.

John Weldon is a excellent accountant. We have been using his firms services for many years. He not only does our taxes and in addition helped us settle my families estates. I think you will find him extremely efficient and knowledgeable. If I have any questions during the year I just call him and if he is not available he promptly returns the call. His staff is cordial and competent. I highly recommend John and know you will be satisfied.

I've used John for both my personal taxes and my corporate taxes for several years now. I have always been satisfied with the quality of service. He even went out of his way one year to let me know I was paying my management company far more then the average. His attention to detail and level of care makes him and his team an excellent choice.

Wow! I had a great first filing experience with John yesterday. He is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable on small business matters. I would recommend his tax service to any small business owner without question. Thank you John and your team for all the tax help!

My CPA of many years fell very ill and was unable to return to work. It's never a good feeling to have to look for a new CPA. But once I spoke to John during my complimentary 30 min consultation, all my fears went away. He is very approachable, humble, and has an awesome staff! He was able to quickly review my past tax returns and two days later, he completed my tax return. Highly recommended and I'll be back next year.

Before I start, I want to tell you that I am NOT a family member and I am NOT being compensated for this review. John knows the CPA business and it's a pleasure to work with him on my taxes. He has a great personality which makes doing my taxes with him somewhat fun. Did I say fun and taxes in the same sentence? Guess I am getting older. His rates are reasonable and he or his staff will get back to you quickly if you have a question.

His small office is low key and located in Culver City not in some fancy Beverly Hills office building which probably keeps his costs down and the fees he charges his customers. Glad I found him right here on Yelp.

I have been going to John Weldon for my tax preparation for the past few years and I could not be happier. Even though his office isn't close to my house it is completely worth the drive. His staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Scheduling appointments are fast and easy. Appointment reminders are sent right to my phone. John is extremely knowledgeable and professional.

He has helped me with all levels of my tax preparation. From my basic financial situation right out of college to my more complex small business accounting. His honest business and tax advice has been extremely beneficial to me and my business. He files my returns quickly with no problems. His is very attentive. Answering all of my last minute questions quickly via email. His fee is extremely reasonable. I highly recommend John for all your accounting and tax needs.

Normally I do my own taxes online but I'm starting my own business so things are getting more complicated. John is the first CPA I've worked with. I appreciate that it was easy to get time for a free 30 min consult and later an hour appointment to do the return. In between appointments John was approachable and responsive via email, and he pointed me to some useful tools (Xero and MileIQ).

I feel like I've found someone I can come to as my business grows for advice throughout the year, not just at tax season, which is what I was looking for. I would recommend John!
