Oh my goodness. Wow. Wow.
Reacting in real time after ETS explained the white-glove setup across all his entities — bookkeeping, banking, payroll, the works.
Every time I ask him… what can we do for the future? And he's like, just pay more taxes. That's not what I wanna do.
Explaining why he was leaving his prior CPA whose only advice was to pay more taxes.
That's unbelievable.
Said three times in a row after we revealed his prior firm had filed zero payroll for him in 2025 — caught by calling the IRS directly.
My brother told me it was good. And you guys saved him a lot of money. So then you know the value. We're gonna save you money. You needed us to tell you again?
Came to ETS based on her brother's experience — committing to start the engagement on that referral's strength alone.
That's incredible, man. That's incredible.
Reacting when we explained our payment-authorization protocol — we don't touch client money without explicit per-transaction sign-off.
You've sold me. You've sold me.
Responding after a long-range growth-strategy walkthrough.
I appreciate it that you jumped in. I appreciate that you apologized… we're here, and we made it. So that's what matters at the end of the day.
Closing the loop after we resolved an IRS double-charge issue and presented next-year strategy.
I wanna sleep comfortable… focus on growing the business and not worry about those things that I'm not knowledgeable [in].

I've been seeing your videos, bro. I sent Nikki to you. Her mom and dad were looking for a tax person.
Mid-call moment where Edward mentions he's been watching ETS content and has already referred someone — while still in his own discovery.
From here on out, I do not wanna pay our government a dime… I want my tax bill to be zero or maybe a smidgen of a refund. If I get a $100 back, I'll be happy. That's gonna be my happy spot.
Sharing his tax philosophy and what success looks like for him and his wife.
Appreciate everything you guys do.
Crypto / international client wrapping up a multi-year cleanup and IRS-notice engagement.
We're not sitting here trying to do a money grab… I love it. Love it.
Reacting to our transparent advice not to oversell her on a tier she didn't need yet.
I need to speak to a human being… that was helpful because then I was like, oh, my brain gets this.

When I found myself facing an IRS audit, I was understandably anxious about the situation. However, Joel stepped in and provided exceptional guidance and support. His expertise saved me over $100,000, an incredible result that I never imagined possible.
I worked with Elevated Tax Strategies this year for tax filing, crypto accounting, and cleanup, and Joel and Ray were awesome from start to finish. They responded quickly, explained everything clearly (even sending voice memos, which I loved), and helped me feel confident that everything was handled correctly.
Hands down, the very best accountant/business consultant that I've ever worked with. Their expertise saved me time and money. The services I've used them for: LLC creation, business bookkeeping, crypto bookkeeping, and managing my personal taxes.
Extremely competent accountant and tax strategist, combined with excellent work ethic. You just don't get service like this anymore. Very knowledgeable, can-do attitude, treats you like family. Saved us an unbelievable amount of money — so worth every penny.
These guys are amazing. Super responsive. Super knowledgeable. Super effective at crafting a tax strategy that solves existing problems and proactively plans to account for expected future conditions. Best accountants/tax consultants I've used by a wide margin.
I can't recommend this firm highly enough. Not only do they provide high knowledge overall — the ability to cater to crypto tax regulations is a very much needed breath of fresh air that I found highly invaluable. I worked directly with Joel and the team.
I had a one-hour meeting via Google Meet with Joel, who was already there when I logged in. We discussed tax strategies for a business I'm planning. Later, Ramon called to check in on how everything went. They were very friendly and knowledgeable.
I'm a small business owner who has several businesses but knows little about taxes. This can be a scary position. Elevated Tax Strategies took the time to educate me and walk me through every step. A trusted partner for small business owners.
I hired Elevated Tax Strategies when I needed my tax returns fast — and they nailed it, delivering well before the ETA. Their process was super organized and easy to follow, turning a mountain of paperwork into simple, manageable steps.
They guided me step by step in the process — not only did they educate me, but they made me feel I did not have to worry. Their portal made document delivery easy. I knew what was needed from me and when.
I can't recommend them enough. We had a major project on our hands that was overwhelming. Elevated Tax Strategies not only took our project head-on but made it manageable and gave us peace of mind. Ray has been professional, attentive and warm our entire experience.
Hands down the best decision I made in crypto was agreeing to meet with Joel at Elevated Tax Strategies. That is saying something as I have been fortunate to experience success in DeFi. You will not regret using his full spectrum of services.
Ramon and Joel are amazing. They are super knowledgable and helped me get my super complicated crypto books in order.
Ramon was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when assisting me with the formation of my LLC. Joel was also essential in the process. I definitely recommend them to anyone needing this service.
Joel is an incredible CPA! Not only does he take the time to educate his clients, he's always thorough, has amazing attention to detail and is extremely knowledgeable. We've referred Joel not only to our clients in real estate but also family and friends.
Joel is amazing at what he does — his passion and heart show through his work. His work ethic is above and beyond what my husband and I were expecting. His communication was top notch and the best that I have ever experienced in this industry.
