The RSJ partners treat us and our business as if it was their own and they are always available to provide guidance and help.”
Brett Gross, CEO
Alegacy, Santa Fe Springs, CA
We handed over our accounting services to RSJ about 25 years ago, when I was a partner in a manufacturing company providing product made in China and sold and distributed here in the U.S. Our customers were primarily major retailers such as Wal Mart, Target, and Toys R Us. RSJ not only managed our accounting services but helped advise us with sourcing and developing our financing and banking operations. In 2005 we founded a new financial services company that deals primarily here in the state of California. Our new company was set up and continues to have our accounting needs managed by RSJ, and though this operation is totally different from our original relationship, their advice and oversight is just as valuable to us. RSJ continues to help us with our everyday needs, but more importantly assists us by thinking “out of the box”. That service has been invaluable to us.
Noel Blankman, Managing Member
Advance Inheritance, LLC
RSJ and their team are consummate professionals that know and help us grow our business. Jake has become a great sounding board for us and has been our consulting CFO to help us in our growth. The team has helped our finance department focus on the needs to assist in that growth. Additionally, we have built a relationship with Jake and his team that we enjoy and hope to continue for years to come.
I would highly recommend Rose, Snyder & Jacobs and their team. If you consider all the time spent working through various aspects of finance, RSJ is the team that can help you navigate all facets of the finance world, leaving you time to concentrate on growing your business and doing what you love to do. I have also transitioned my personal financial needs to RSJ and have been very pleased with the results and assistance whenever needed. RSJ is there when you need them.

Our family office has been with Rose, Snyder and Jacobs for over 18 years and in that time we have had many different business entities and opportunities for which we have required their tax preparation services.

The firm’s knowledge and expertise in a broad array of businesses allows them to see the entire financial picture and provide the most tax efficient guidance possible.
Rose, Snyder and Jacobs has also represented us several times in Federal and CA State income tax audits and each time the audits were concluded without adjustments. We would not think of going through another audit with any other firm.
Simon Whetzel, General Manager

I was referred by one of the top estate planning attorneys in LA. He recommended Rebecca Snyder. That turned out to be an amazing referral. I have since worked with her other partners, staff accountants and support staff. All have been wonderful.
I utilized the firm for both my business and for the firm’s family office services. The firm’s CPAs and staff are knowledgeable, timely, efficient, and great to work with. I am never concerned that the advice I am given is anything but the best. The firm is completely full service, and the vast knowledge of their team is outstanding.
If you are seeking outstanding professionals and best in class, along with a great staff to support their work, this is the best firm you will find. I also believe they are efficient with regarding to their billing practices and I have received high value for the investment I have made in RSJ.
Karen Farrington, Vice President

We couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to hire your firm this year.
Leslie Crawford
Cinnabar California, Inc.
I have known Tony for several years but for some reason, hadn’t yet used his services, despite the recommendations from so many other mutual friends/relationships. The time came when our previous CPA had begun making big mistakes on our taxes. In addition, it would take a long time to respond to questions and concerns we had. We decided to fire that company and hire RSJ. One of the best decisions we made for our business!
What I value most is the communication and relationship we have with this firm. Each associate that we have had the pleasure of working with, has been knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. We are extremely confident that we are in good hands and that all our accounting needs are finally being met.
We have already recommended several other companies to jump on board with RSJ. I tell others if they want to alleviate stress and worry around their finances, accounting, and taxes HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! They truly care about their customers and go the extra lengths to make sure everything is handled in a timely manner.
