Palm Desert Bookkeeping

Richard Varnell has been handling our taxes for years! Always does a great job! We are confident he takes good care of us. We never doubt he knows his stuff!

Palm Desert Tax is literally the best. My husband and I are ministers and come to Mr. Varnell every year to file our taxes. Mr. Varnell is so helpful to us. His staff is very professional and helpful. Definitely recommend using their services. You will not be disappointed. Aaron & Rachel Glasco

Best tax service ever! My family have been customers for decades. Richard is so outstanding, helpful, and kind. The whole team works hard to make the tax season experience as smooth as possible and their level of professionalism excellent.

We've been working with Palm Desert Tax since 2009 when we started our business. We have had over 10 successful years thanks to Norma Rae and Jennifer who prepare both our personal and corporate tax returns as well as our quarterly Board of Equalization payments. I am very dedicated to their expertise and excellent customer service. We couldn't have made it without them! Thank you!

I have been filing my taxes with Palm Desert tax since moving to the desert 14 years ago. I am always grateful for the excellent service. I recently became a business owner and was very happy to be guided in how to start my first S Corp. if you want quality service from those who have an extensive knowledge of all things tax related, Palm Desert tax is the place to go.

Richard and the Palm Desert Tax team have been integral in making tax season stress-free. We have used Richard for the past several years and after walking us through cleaning up a mess a different tax professional left in our laps he has delivered consistent top notch results. He has created a culture from himself to his staff of personable professionalism and it shows in every step of the process. Highly recommend Richard and his team at Palm Desert Tax!

Had Norma and her team referred to me by a mutual friend. Glad I went with them since her team really helped me organize my 2020 tax and file them aswell. Very helpful and professional service. I appreciate all the help and I highly recommended PDT.

Very kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. My family has been using Palm Desert Tax for as long as I can remember.

Palm Desert is the first CPA I have ever hired and I did it to form my S-Corp. Richard and the team have been nothing but professional and extremely patient with me. Because, as a new business owner we have some "dumb" questions sometimes. They have always made me feel supported, listened to and have explained things clearly so I understand everything. I feel very lucky to have found them.

I've been friends with Richard for the past 7 years and have been a client with Palm Desert Tax for the past 3 years. For years I'd try saving money by going the cheeper route and cheep is not always the best. Richard and his team have helped me get all of my taxes straightened out and for that I'm very appreciative. I live in Missouri now but still choose to use Palm Desert Tax every year because I know I'll get the professionalism and best service that's available! p.s. If you go into the office they have the best snacks and beverage selection!

I have employed Richard and the team at Palm Desert Tax for over ten years and they are without question, the best tax preparation group I have ever used! They have been able to retrieve refunds in the past that others weren't able. If I have a question I can call them and they get back to me in a speedy manner (this is how I came to them in the first place)! I highly recommend them to you - you won't be disappointed!

Some years ago, I started using Palm Desert Tax based on the recommendation of a friend. Some of the best advice I ever received! Their prices are very, very reasonable. I sometimes have complex returns which they handle quickly and professionally. They are incredibly responsive, with excellent communication consistently. I ask them for last-minute help, and they do it.

They make it look easy! I don't suppose anyone really likes taxes, but I urge you to do yourself a favor and start using Palm Desert tax. I've been happy with them for years and I just hope to continue doing business with them!

We have been very happy with Palm Desert Tax and our personal consultant, Norma. Taxes come easy now with the pre-scheduling/planning and the pleasant, professional and proficient completion and e-filing of our various tax forms as well as an immediate personal copy. Friendly staff and great snacks!

Mr. Richard Varnell really went above and beyond to help me with my Schedule C tax return. I suffer from a severe anxiety disorder and I get very frustrated and overwhelmed when it comes to anything to do with adding numbers. But being an independent contractor it's very important since I invest a lot of my earning right back into my chauffeur business.

It was refreshing to find someone as experienced as Richard who knows exactly what they are doing. Not only that, but he is patient, kind and has a very calming demeanor that put me at ease when doing four years worth of taxes. I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate his services. I live in Palm Springs but he is worth the drive down. It's not easy finding honest and trustworthy people these days, especially with all the cases of tax professionals selling your information.

I know Mr. Varnell is a man of integrity and would never stoop so low. I had my identity stolen, and he took time (during non work hours) to answer my email and instruct me on how exactly what steps to take with the IRS. I feel blessed and grateful to have found this company and be his client. I will definitely be back every year.

I recently moved from the desert to the coast but because of very good service, I still travel back to the desert for my tax needs. I have had very good advice, and had advice to set up of a business which has been a good choice for me. Very friendly office! Very good help and advice.
