Jennifer Lau is fantastic! I would highly recommend Topp and Lau for your accounting needs.

As a clinical psychologist, I was referred to Bob Topp several years ago by another professional and continue to be impressed with his accounting expertise. Equally important though to the competence, has been my experience of trustworthiness and commitment to making the process as understandable as possible

Highly competent and responsive. Would recommend to all individuals and businesses.

Since moving to Los Angeles as a newly minted and trained physician in 2016, I originally had a difficult time navigating the accountancy and finance-related issues associated with a professional medical corporation (S-Corp). Compounded by W2 income, a couple fo small businesses that are all separate differently, my needs (and anxiety) grew over the years. Although I put my time in understanding and preparing everything, previous accountants dropped the ball with communication or missed ends.
My wife (who I met in LA :) and has her own proprietorship) and I met Jenny Lau & Bob Topp for our accounting needs in early 2019. We were impressed with Jenny's experience working with medical practices in the area.
- Immediately, I appreciate Jenny's straightforward nature when it comes to financial and time quotes for work needed for tax preparation and personal / business filings, including 1096 and 1099.
- It was an especially difficult task, considering my numerous spreadsheets and unreconciled ends left from previous CPAs.
- Through a friendly and receptive staff (especially Ms/ Kimber Spickert), sensitive information is communicated both ways in a timely fashion.
- An encrypted portal is used to manage the uploading/downloading of all forms and supporting material, including signature forms.
- All extensions and filings were completed on time!!!
Furthermore, Topp & Lau partners with an excellent payroll system (Heartland, associate: Michele Holmes) that has been instrumental in our personal and business transitions to W2 where applicable.
As mentioned, the firm is straightforward with costs, utilizing an engagement form and including fees for technology costs and time need for reconciliation of disparate accounts. Their pricing is on par with that of previous CPAs and my understanding of the market in Los Angeles (though their firm in in Orange County).
***However, we were very happy with the work that was completed for our businesses, including both savings and ongoing considerations as we bought a house and have a child on the way!
I look forward to seeing how our relationship with Topp & Lau will evolve over the year. Definitely a strong recommend to both individual/families with personal accounting needs, as well as young companies and practices looking to get started off on the right foot!
