How we chose
We started with BBB ratings, Google Maps reviews, and Yelp. Then we looked for firms that show up in multiple conversations when locals talk about taxes. We also considered breadth: who handles non-profits, who has extended hours, who does planning beyond filing. Every business on this list is currently operating with a working phone number and a public address.
We specifically looked for CPAs with local Gilroy roots and established practices. Tax work requires trust, so we focused on firms with 5+ years in the community. We evaluated service breadth: bookkeeping, payroll, advisory services beyond just annual filing. We also prioritized those who communicate clearly about complex tax concepts and treat every client with equal care regardless of business size.
