J&J TAX ACCOUNTING PLLC

Even after running a business for over 30 years, there were many things I didn’t know until I met CPA Sung S. Jung early last year.

For many years, I simply gathered my documents and sent them to my accountant’s office, trusting that, as a professional, they would take care of everything properly. I would sign the tax return without even realizing that the submitted documents were not fully reflected in the report.

Whenever I had questions, scheduling a consultation or phone call with my accountant was always a hassle, requiring an appointment and a long wait.

Then, I came across CPA Sung S. Jung’s tax-saving column in the Grocery Association’s management journal. Through his insights, I learned a lot of new information and decided to move my accounting services to J&J.

Thanks to CPA Sung S. Jung’s detailed and friendly explanations, I was finally able to understand my tax return documents. With his many tax-saving tips, I received more than twice the tax refund compared to previous years. I am also extremely satisfied with the ability to communicate directly with him whenever I have questions, receiving quick and clear responses.

Additionally, since J&J also operates a law firm, I was able to receive valuable guidance on Living Trusts, which I had been interested in for a long time.

J&J is truly an accounting firm that I highly recommend to those around me.

I have been running multiple businesses in the Seattle and Tacoma area for many years, managing bookkeeping and tax reporting through two CPA offices. In September 2023, through a referral, I was introduced to J & J Tax and Accounting Firm and had an interview with Accountant Jung Sung-Su, which led to a great partnership.

During the interview with Mr. Jung, I initially struggled to understand some aspects of accounting, but he went out of his way to explain everything clearly using relevant examples, which greatly helped me understand. His kindness, professionalism, and thorough knowledge of tax law, as well as the various ways to save on taxes, were impressive. Having run my business with my own management style for so long, this was an eye-opening experience for me. After making a few changes to my business management, I was very satisfied with the tax savings that followed.

During the 2023 tax reporting process, Mr. Jung meticulously reviewed all my tax documents, conducting several interviews and phone calls to go over my expenses. He found numerous tax deductions that no other CPA had mentioned, and after a few reviews, he prepared my tax return. As a result, my 2023 tax filing allowed me to save over $40,000, compared to 2022, where my income and expenses were almost equal. It was the best news as I entered 2024, even though three months had passed!

I want to thank Mr. Jung, the office manager, and all the staff members for their support. And I am truly grateful for their quick and accurate responses to my questions, always. !!!!!!

In April of this year, I was introduced to J&J Tax and Accounting Firm through enthusiastic recommendations from my colleagues at the KAGRO meeting. This meeting became a major turning point for my business, and through their tax reporting, accounting, and legal services for 2022, I gained unexpected significant benefits. I would like to share this valuable experience with fellow business owners, especially those in similar industries (like groceries) and those in similar situations.

Usually, during tax season, I would just exchange documents with the staff of my accountant’s office and sign the tax reports. However, my first meeting with Mr. Jung Sung-Su, the head accountant at J&J Tax and Accounting Firm, presented me with a whole new perspective. I learned many tax-saving strategies that I was embarrassed not to have known before and received deep advice on accounting and taxes. This professional approach deeply impressed me.

In particular, Mr. Jung's absolute dedication, along with the tax-saving consultations, education, and the 4-hour explanation of my tax report, left a lasting impression on me. In fact, changing accounts after such a long-term relationship was a significant burden. However, encouraged by the recommendations from my colleagues, I decided to make a fresh start with the mindset of "nothing to lose."

For the first time in almost 24 years, I received a tax refund check after filing my tax report, which stirred many emotions within me. I felt regretful and frustrated about the benefits I had missed out on, and a sense of shame about not knowing sooner. Through this experience, I have come to recognize the true value of working with a genuine expert. I would like to once again express my deep gratitude to Mr. Jung and his team.

Our hospital, Painless Clinic DBA UNI Clinic, is a pain management and neurology specialty clinic that started in Renton in June 1999. As a small business with approximately 2,500-3,000 patients annually, 95% of whom are non-Korean, we have three full -time employees and four contract employees. Since opening in June 1999, we have worked with three different accounting firms, and on July 15, 2022, we have entrusted our hospital's financial management to the office of Mr. Jung Sung-Su at J&J Tax and Accounting Firm. As the hospital operator, I would like to share my experience with Mr. Jung's office over the past 15 months.

In fact, we hesitated a lot before switching accounting firms. This is because, as business owners, we had to lay bare all of our financial details to the accountant, including our assets, income, debts, and hospital management. It was not an easy decision to meet a new accountant and expose all of that once again. However, before we made the decision to switch, we had several consultations with Mr. Jung. His sincerity, profound knowledge of tax laws, and detailed advice on areas where we could save on taxes and how we should plan for retirement made us realize that we could trust him as our final accountant.

During our tax filing in 2022, Mr. Jung went through each item on forms 1120-S and 1040, explaining in detail why each number was there. He also gave us advice on how we could save on taxes going forward. It was a completely different experience compared to the previous years when we simply signed the tax report with the instruction, "Sign here." Additionally, after 23 years of operating the clinic, we learned for the first time that we could claim unpaid bills patient as a “bad debt” tax deduction, which led to significant tax savings. The fact that we could claim unpaid medical fees as a tax deduction instead of sending them to collections was a huge turning point for our hospital. Why hadn't the previous three accountants mentioned this? If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have wasted time and energy trying to collect payments from patients, and we could have simply claimed the tax deduction. It was a missed opportunity, and we regretted not knowing sooner.

Moreover, Mr. Jung didn’t only help with the hospital’s finances but also provided valuable insight and sharp advice regarding our personal future plans, including long-term care and retirement preparation. In conclusion, meeting Mr. Jung Sung-Su, our reliable lifetime consultant, has been a huge blessing not only for our hospital but also for us personally. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff members of his office, the “Power Team,” who respond immediately to my emails, calls, and messages. Thank you so much.

I have received a lot of help through regular meetings with the accountant

I didn't realize how much money we were losing year over year using another accounting firm. They were not very involved and did not answer any questions I may have had. Once I switch over and went over my Financials in depth with J&J TAX ACCOUNTING & LAW, I saw how much money I could've saved over 10 years had my previous accountant actually did his job correctly. It's astounding the work they do here to reduce your tax burden. They also educate you on taxes and are always available to answer questions.  Amazing.

After using a Korean accounting office in Federal Way for several years, I became frustrated and anxious due to accounting practices and tax filings that lacked explanations and reasoning. The responses I received were always about evading responsibility, and when they told me to prepare $150,000 for taxes in 2022, I became very upset. However, through J&J, I realized that my accounting documents and tax filings were incorrect. I was deeply impressed by the sincere service and thorough approach of the staff. They carefully reviewed tax-saving items, and the accountant provided detailed explanations. As a result, I did not pay the $150,000 in taxes I was told to prepare for, but instead received a refund of $203. In effect, I saved $300,000. This experience has taught me the importance of making the right choices and the value of working with the right professionals.

Thank you to Jung Sung-Su and the team at J&J for their exceptional service.

Working with over a hundred employees is fulfilling, yet preparing taxes above $400,000 each year is honestly quite challenging. However, this time was different – J&J Accounting was exceptional. The documents and questions they required were things I had never encountered before. I've never had so many meetings with an accountant for tax savings. The result was truly astonishing. While my previous accounting firm estimated my taxes at around $619,515, J&J managed to reduce them to $303,000. This significant decrease was a testament to the hard work of both the accountant and myself. Their expertise not only eased my financial burden but also instilled a sense of security and trust in their professional abilities.
