Ed has been managing my business and personal taxes for over 20 years. I appreciate that he continues to combine education of tax laws, tethered with personal integrity, which is rare these days. I believe that there are many people who are searching for ways to cut or bend the taxation laws. That is why I continue to pursue the services that Ed offers as he will not compromise his ethics and is always, within the letter of the law, caring for your personal tax concerns.

I have been going to Edwin Simpson for many, many years. Even though I have moved from San Diego I continue to have Ed do my tax preparation. He is thorough even with complex tax returns, in which are mine. He is very informative and keeps in touch, and up to speed on all the laws pertaining to tax returns. His newsletters are very helpful in understanding the “world of taxes.” I would not trust anyone else to handle my taxes. He also comes from a background that I respect very much in that he is a retired U.S. Marine Corp officer. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

For the past ten years I have had the pleasure of receiving Tax advice, tax planning and tax form preparation from Ed. My reason for doing this that over the years he has provided all of these services at a level of excellence that has exceeds my expectations. He provides the required accounting skills, the work ethic and a concerned attitude that is coupled with his features of a friendly and helpful approach; tasks that I expect to be painful become pleasant experiences. I would recommend Ed to anyone.

Working with Ed is so much more than tax preparation. I've known him for years and started with my individual returns. Later he became the CPA for my company which started as a for-profit company but acted much like a nonprofit, yet we had not obtained our non profit status. The forms were overwhelming and although we attempted it twice, we abandoned the process due to time constraints. Ed took this mission on and spent many weeks compiling all the necessary information, filling out the endless forms and addressing the questions by the government. He was able to secure our nonprofit status on the first pass... an enormous feat. And he has continued to manage the mounds of paper necessary to maintain our status. Having Ed has meant that my time is free to handle all the necessary areas within our nonprofit, while knowing with 100% certainty that Ed is handling the numbers. He even brought in a bookkeeper to help with the day-to-day issues. Ed is not just business - he truly cares. He will push you to the edge to handle areas that need attention, and cajole you into the correct avenues for sustained growth. And he does it from a loving heart and tremendous professional knowledge. It’s rare to have a CPA that I consider a friend... This is a rare man. I strongly recommend Ed - you'll not regret it.
