Pronto Income Tax

Family-owned and operated since 1965, now into a third generation, Pronto Income Tax works out of four Los Angeles-area offices — Carson, East L.A., West L.A. and Monrovia — with service in English and Spanish at all of them. Individual and small-business returns are the core of it, alongside IRS audit representation, tax problem resolution including innocent spouse relief, payroll tax matters, and help getting a new business off the ground.

Clients can book an appointment or simply walk in, and the workflow accommodates secure document exchange, e-signature and online meetings for those who would rather not. Fees can be paid out of the refund rather than up front, and the firm publishes its own average prices against national ones: roughly $100 for a simple return and $360 for a Schedule C. It puts its record at more than 500,000 returns prepared. Employees are being brought into ownership positions.
