Capital Business & Tax Service

I found Alani through Unilocal.Her reviews were great … and I agree with them 100%. She was efficient, sharp, friendly, and made reviewing my taxes a less painful process. I will definitely go to her again. So, if you’re looking for an accountant … I recommend giving her a shot to earn your business. Leave some extra time before or after your appointment, as their office is a block from the beach. Take a stroll after you meet with Alani!

Have had taxes done here for past three years. It took 3 corrections this past year to get things right– mistakes or errors I caught. Their prices are good– but next year I will probably do taxes myself.

I use to go to H&R block every single year, but this year my tax lady up and quit! I was in desperate need for another tax person and I found this place on Unilocal!I was not disappointed! Alana did my taxes and it was super painless! Very chill, comfortable, and fast! I was done in a half hour ! So stoked to have found this place on Unilocal!Oh, and did I mention it’s waaaay cheaper than H&R block! #winning !!!

Seriously THE BEST! I am a college student and was very stressed about doing my taxes and Alani seriously saved me. Thank you! I recommend this place and Alani for everyone

I’ve been going to Jessica for over a decade and she is the absolute best! She never bats and eye when I bring her in 9 different tax forms to file and I can always get an appointment in reasonable time.
I’ve sent her referrals over and over and she always delivers above and beyond expectations. I look forward to my next tax filing to give her my business and know my needs will be thoroughly met.

What a relief!
I called and she got me in two days later. Took care of everything in an hour. Was ¹⁄₃ the cost of my previous tax person. Plus she is a block from the beach… not bad walking out the office with taxes done and a view of the Pacific.
Thank you Jessica!

I have been coming to Capital Business and tax for approximately five years. Jessica Constant is excellent! She’s very knowledgeable and helpful regarding taxes and financial planning needs. I will continue to work with her for many years to come!

Jessica is amazing! She really knows what she’s doing and is very knowledgeable about taxs. She makes a normally stressful experience a lot less dredful. Plus she is much cheaper then her competitors. Found my tax preparer for life and will never go anywhere else.

I recently had my taxes completed with Jessica. The overall process was fantastic.
My taxes were relatively complex — multiple partnerships and K-1’s with multi-​state filing requirements. Jessica was very professional and thorough in tying together all the information and simplifying a complicated process for me.
As a point of comparison, I had similar tax and accounting work done for prior years with a Manhattan, NY firm. Compared to Capital Business & Tax, those filings were poorly assembled, confusing and had numerous inaccuracies. The staff was also less accessible than Jessica was. They were also much, much more expensive.
I certainly would recommend.

I found this company through Unilocal where the reviews looked great. Well, it is true. I was also helped by Alani who was not only very nice, but very fast, efficient and reliable. I had been used to lots of follow up to my accountants and with Alani, all was smooth and quick and well done. I will continue to use them and was glad to have found them. Thank you Alani.

I found Capital Business and Tax Service here on Unilocal and I am glad that I did. Alani was fantastic. I had 2 years of taxes to do, both with multiple w2s, 1099s and 1098s and my whole experience here was great. I checked into getting my taxes done at H&R Block before I came here and they quoted me almost 2x what Alani did. I didn’t know how much $ I should expect to get back, but all I can say is that I was very satisfied with the return amount. I would recommend Alani and Capital Business & Tax Service to all of my friends and family. I will be back next year for sure!

I got my taxes done by Alani and was so pleased (you know, as pleased as you can be about the tax process :) with how she handled the entire appointment. She was very thorough and made sure I was exploring all my possible deduction avenues. Apparently, the gal who did my taxes last year failed to depreciate my rental property back home & Alani pointed out I would have gotten more back had that been done. She even waited while I had to call the state Property Assessor to get a land tax rate for the said property that I didn’t know I needed. Everything was handed to me in an organized folder and all my payment options were outlined to me clearly. It will make it easier come next year to have all my info so neatly organized. I’m very appreciative for our different skill sets in life and Alani has the tax preparation down to an art. A+.

Alana was my tax consultant and she was awesome!
She was very knowledgeable and filed my 1040 in a blink of an eye. The experience blew H&R out of the water and the return was much more than past experiences.
The location was easy for me to find and there was always a parking spot open. Expect this place to be busy because they do great work.
I will refer Alana to all my friends!

Thanks to Unilocal!I got to know about Capital Business and Tax Services on here… I decided to give it a try… Alani was very patient with me and super nice! I even mistyped some data and had her mail me documents overseas and she was super patient and really pleasant to deal with. I am very happy with this office and would be dealing with them for a long years hopefully.
Thank you guys for the outstanding service!

I must admit as a first time filer I was pretty nervous about the whole ordeal, my colleagues suggested turbo tax so I gave it a shot but, the numbers were not adding up! I then went to h&r block and was more or less given a number and asked to wait my turn. So feeling helpless I picked up the phone and called capital business and was blown out of the water by there personable staff! I called and had an appointment scheduled later the same day, I sat with Alanni and she got down to business and was able to get my full refund! After a cup of coffee and some treats I left feeling 100%
Big up’s to capital and the whole staff.
See you next year!!!

I discovered this office online, and had my taxes prepared by Alani. I had a very complicated situation owning a fairly new corporation as well as remarried and new to California. She got me in quickly, prepared my taxes in a timely nature at a very reasonable cost. Will be doing business here in the future, I highly recommend her services!

The office is very homey/​cozy and I was initially greeted by two adorable little dogs. If you’re expecting expensive fountains and stiff-​asses in nice suits then you should probably go elsewhere. But if you want friendly, professional & accurate tax service without feeling talked down to then this is definitely the place to seek out.
I made an appointment with Jessica last week after reading positive reviews. She is highly professional and very in-​the-​know on current tax policies. She is very thorough in her work and covered all the bases on my state and federal returns. She’s relaxed, down to earth and an absolute pleasure to do business with. If you’ve worked with her before you can surely relate – it’s obvious that she is a strong critical thinker and on top of her game, something that can be hard to find from others working in her industry. I will certainly be returning for all my personal and business tax purposes in the future.
Thanks Jessica!

I want to give this place zero star or multiple negative stars.
First of all, I should have known from the time I called to make an appt. the receptionist was super rude, and hardly acknowledged me when I came in to this office at the time I arrived for my appt. And let me tell you, they have the smallest, crowded, old-​fashioned, and unprofessional looking office I’ve ever been to. It’s like a cubicle setting with not much privacy, where people can just turn around and peek who’s there or where.
I read a lot of positives on Alani so I got an appt with her.
Not very professional, far from competent, misquoted me on how much tax I owed. Thought it was odd she said I owed CA over 7000 dollars when I worked in this state for only 1 month last year. Questioned her to see if she was sure. She told me to call my HR. Instead of double checking her work or her software, that’s how knowledgeable she is… Who calls your company’s HR to question why you’re paying a certain amount of tax to your government?
Another lady who appeared to be her superior came over and read my wages out loud in an office that has no block or walls where everyone could see me. When I asked her to lower her voice (pleading for privacy), the lady gave me a dirty look.
Anyways, after the other lady’s guidance, 7000 was reduced down to couple hundreds of dollars I owed to CA. I got zero acknowledgement of fault from Alani and no apology till the end. No ooops or sorry about that. I ended up taking my business elsewhere… and my numbers also resulted differently.

My husband and I needed someone to help with our taxes this year as we had partial year residencies in two states and couldn’t sort everything out with our university fellowships and my husband’s small business.
Alani gave us a great quote, scheduled us in the next day, and could have had us out the door in under an hour with our taxes done if we’d had all our stuff together! She was professional, knowledgeable, very helpful and friendly! She called us later to find out more information that saved us money and was able to communicate by phone and email. Even though the bill came up to more than the original quote, we only had to pay the original quote. We are huge fans of Alani!
Don’t mess with H&R or TaxAct (what I tried last year, very confusing) or any of those, just go here!

It’s tax season folks and I got a little tip for you*
SHA-​ZAM! Props to this place for the best tax preparing services in TOWN! Now, I am NOT going to give away all the details BUT… if I were assessing Capital Business’s stealth talent, skills and service the way Fitch assesses the credit-​worthiness of businesses, I would give them Triple A’s! Prime Time! The best of the best! Period.
