4+ Years of Satisfied Results

Since engaging The Royce CPA Firm in January 2017, I have relied on the team to handle all things tax related for my LLC and our family CA Limited Partnership. I cannot say enough about Crystal and her staff when it comes to the intricacies and details involved. Specifically, in addition to Crystal’s expertise, I have leaned heavily on Jason – especially during tax time. I appreciate his patience and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure I have what I need. Also, Ana is key to the firm. She is efficient, accommodating, pleasant, and always delightful when I have an administrative question or concern. In terms of partnering with a CPA firm, I couldn’t be in better hands than with the Royce team. Brian Bub, Managing General Partner, Magnolia Enterprises, Ltd.

A Huge Help During the Pandemic

I have worked with The Royce CPA Firm for my corporate and personal tax needs for the past 6 years. Working with Ana, Crystal, Jason, Jonathan and Rob has been an excellent experience. During Covid the office made a huge pivot and allowed you to do everything that was needed on-line. At the same time the service remained personal and allowed you to reach someone by phone or virtual meeting if needed or preferred. They stayed on top of all of the tax and benefit changes for both individuals and businesses as a result of the pandemic and communicated this information in a timely manner. The service they provide is efficient, helpful and focused on meeting your specific needs and goals. Crystal has assembled a highly qualified and experienced team. I give them an A+ on the work they have done for me and my business.

Tax time is no longer the time for chest pains

Previously my chest pains due to the stress caused by tax time would start in late December and last for months until we finally got our taxes filed. Three years ago Crystal and her team was recommended to us and that was the best decision we have ever made. Now not only do I have a tax preparation service that I can trust, I have a partner that I can rely on for the financial side of my business. Her short videos as the tax laws continue to change make a very complex subject very understandable. The responsiveness and accuracy of her whole staff makes the process almost enjoyable – as enjoyable as taxes can be. Finding a partner like this who can be depended on, quick to respond and accurate in their work was like finding a unicorn. Happy to report this unicorn calls Tucson home base and is on our team. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

An Extraordinarily Talented, Charming, Efficient, and Delightful Team

Crystal Royce and Jason Cummins have transformed our perceptions of what an accounting firm, a CPA, and personalized, creative service mean. We were referred to Crystal this year by a trusted friend who promised a unique experience coupled with amazing knowledge and diligence – and he was understated.

Crystal analyzed our 2018 return “prepared” by another firm, and developed a series of options for us to consider in looking back and redoing the return, all of which would improve our position.
We selected one based upon a collective consensus, and, well, we are getting a 40% refund of the total additional taxes assessed and paid in 2018.

Their thorough working knowledge of the tax codes across all disciplines is impressive and top shelf. Their communication, turnaround time, and general philosophy are, at once, unique, effective, and most enjoyable.

Should you have any doubts about your current provider, I couldn’t recommend strongly enough that you take the time to meet with Chrystal and her team – you will not regret it.

Crystal is amazing!

Crystal is amazing! I had many years of bad experiences with 2 other CPA’s. When I was referred to Crystal from another client of hers and met her, she was literally everything I hoped to have in a CPA! She is extremely knowledgeable and what she doesn’t know, she is not afraid to say she doesn’t and quick to find the answer. She has been very helpful in other areas of my business and I would HIGHLY recommend her to ALL my friends or anyone looking for a CPA.

No More Big Accounting Firms for Me

Crystal was referred by a mutual acquaintance and she has not disappointed. Each time I’ve met with her, I’ve been impressed by her demeanor and expertise. She strives to make you feel as though you are her only client and spends the time necessary to answer/provide explanations and clarifications to any questions posed. I am very happy to have moved on from using a large (and impersonal) SoCal accounting firm to someone local who genuinely cares about you and your business.

Reassuring to me!

Crystal Royce exudes CPA efficiency, competency, and a sincere interest in doing what is in the best interest for me; last year she took time to evaluate whether it was best for my partner and I to file jointly or separately. Crystal researches previous tax years and detects any discrepancies . Additionally, she is warmly humanistic… A big bonus!

IRS nightmare over thanks to Crystal

My family and I kept getting letters from the IRS asking for money for taxes that were already paid. I exhausted every route I could find on my own, including phone calls and letters to the IRS, and then IRS ignored all of my messages and their phone service would consistently refuse to let me speak to anyone. When they sent a letter threatening to seize our assets I immediately called Crystal Royce. Within 45 minutes she resolved the entire issue and fixed everything. I’m so grateful I went to her for help, and wish I had talked to her much sooner.

Quickbooks experts

I have had the pleasure of working with Crystal during the last year. We initially engaged with her firm on a specific project and have since become a client for all corporate tax work. Crystal is careful, thorough and easy to work with. She explains things well and has first-hand knowledge of QuickBooks which makes troubleshooting a much easier task than it has been in the past with previous CPA’s.

The Royce CPA Firm is The Best.

Crystal Royce is a remarkable CPA – last year, my wife and I expected to pay thousands of dollars in taxes. Instead, we got a refund, and Crystal went through previous tax years and saved us hundreds more that our previous CPA’s had missed. She’s a lifesaver, and I am always happy to refer my friends, family, and fellow business owners to her.
