Dmitriy was very professional. He was recommended to me by a friend and I could not be more satisfied with his services. He was fast, asked many questions, but made the entire process as painless as possible. He saved my taxes not only from this year, but also amended last year's as well. I was able to make an appointment quickly and Dmitriy finished all the paperwork for me- wonderful customer service. Thank you!

I have been client of Velin & Associates for 3 years as a small business owner & a medical professional. When I first came in my accounts were a mess & Dmitriy helped my organize bookkeeping, went over payroll with me, & we made a plan on how to structure my corporate taxes & personal taxes. After 3 years of coming to this accounting/tax office, I'm still a satisfied customer & highly recommend him for both tax, accounting, or consulting needs.

I have been coming here for about six years. Velin and Associates/LA Tax Services have been there for me as a both a personal tax preparation service and as a business advisor and tax CPA. I am very happy with the advice I get here and the guidance every year. Happy to be a part of the client base. Look forward to working with them for many years to come.

As a newcomer from Australia to the US I was extremely fortunate to have found Dmitriy to assist me with my tax. He not only explained the system here in the US however was able to help me finish it in the quickest and most efficient way possible. Year over year - he continues to do so. I may be one of his more difficult customers with a few Australian accounts however it would never seem that way to him. Dmitriy also thinks of you long term and encourages good habits in regards to your spending/financial situation. He is incredibly smart and I always come away knowing that I am in good hands in regards to tax. He's associate that I work with is super patient with me when I am gathering the information and makes it painless.

I highly recommend his services. As a physician, it is really difficult to find CPA's who understand our needs. Dmitriy was very experienced in working with other physicians in the area, which made it very easy to relate. If you need someone who understands your concerns, Mr Velin and his staff will take good care of you.

I can't say enough good things about Dmitriy and his staff. Dmitriy is passionate about saving you money, and he'll work with you until he's saved you every last possible cent. Get in there and stop overpaying on your taxes!

Dmitriy is awesome!!! I called Velin & Associates seeking some insight on a tax notice that worried me and he was able to see me the same day! As a young person working in the entertainment industry, it's been difficult wrapping my head around certain aspects of my taxes and I have been meaning to find an accountant familiar with the entertainment landscape. I expected to go into the meeting having to explain what I do / how I get paid / etc but Dmitry took one look at the notice and my tax returns and he knew exactly how to handle. Not only does he know his stuff but he is super friendly and has a great sense of humor! Puts you totally at ease! I am so happy to have Velin & Associates in my corner now and look forward to a long lasting relationship with them!!

I'm a freelancer in the film industry. Dmitriy is the first tax specialist I've used. My visit could not have gone any better. He's extremely helpful, very honest and down to earth. I'm positive he got me the best possible results and I also got lots of advice for when I come back next year (which I most certainly will!)

Years ago, I used to do taxes on my own through one of the online services. But as I started investing more in my health coaching business and personal accounts, I realized that the online services were limited. I had so many questions regarding what I could deduct or how to best invest my money to reduce my tax payments; Dmitriy doesn't just do taxes but he's been providing financial planning for my future. I appreciate that Dmitriy cares and always goes out of his way to make sure I fully understand the process. And more importantly, I trust him. I've been working with him for the past three years. And he's always available via phone or email. Even when I submit my information days before April 15th, he gets it done. Thank you!

I found Velin & Associates, Inc. online. about a year ago when I was searching for a new CPA to help me with my taxes and all my accounting needs. This was the best call I made. Dmitri is a very knowledgeable accountant and helped me thru my tax needs. He is attentive, professional and is sincerely concerned about my financial well being. He made sure to understand my business in order to determine what I can legally write off to achieve the best possible outcome on my taxes. He helped me set financial goals thru strategic planning for the next year so I can stay on top of my business and keep track of my investments. He has prepared my taxes for 2 years now and I will continue to seek professional financial advice from Dmitri. I strongly recommend Dmitri's services to anyone looking for an excellent CPA.

I've been going to Dmitriy for 8 years because he consistently provides quality tax services. His business, Velin & Associates, which is listed here on Yelp as LA Tax Services is NOT to be confused with another firm called LA Tax Service where I noticed a Yelp reviewer incorrectly posted a poor review on this page that was meant for the other firm (see the review that mentions Aaron Rubenstein). Anyway, I'm always very pleased with Dmitriy's attention to detail, and I appreciate his personable demeanor too. He always makes sure to squeeze me into his already busy schedule even at the last moment. He is diligent and trustworthy, and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I've been working in the entertainment industry for over 25 years, and have gone through various CPAs and firms in that time for my tax preparation. I wish I had found Dmitry years ago! Luckily, I have him in my corner now and for that, I could not be happier. As my career has grown, the taxes have gotten more complicated. But nothing seems complicated with Dmitry. He explains every step of the process, has excellent business advice and has helped me and my production company tremendously. Going to see the CPA in the past was always cause for stress - but with Dmitry, it is a pleasure to get to work with him, to learn from him and to know that he understands the film industry and how we work. His office is in the heart of West Hollywood, he is super professional and yet down to earth, open-minded, and loves everyone, which makes coming to see him a pure joy. It's great knowing that I am in good hands with him and his team. Heres to many more years ahead working together!!

Dmitriy is the best. I went to him with a complicated tax situation and he handled it expertly. His staff was also extremely friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend him enough, truly.

Velin & Associates is my go to company for any financial advice or to file my taxes. I have been working with the company for over 4 years, and they have only helped me progress financially and with my business. I would recommend Velin & Associates to anyone who is looking for a driven, hard working, and great person to work with. I am in the entertainment business which requires me to travel a lot. They have helped me put together a loan out corporation and take care of my affairs when I am gone. 5 star rating is a must!

Dmitriy and The accounting staff are great, Dmitriy is good communicator, he has helped me with not only starting my company. But has helped guide me into making the best choices for my company and myself. His tax strategies always come through. Would recommend anyone to come see him! Worth every dollar. He does tax planning and has shared deductions with me that we're not brought up by another CPA I had. This includes the new AB 150 rules for path through entities.
