This is the worst Accounting firm I have ever seen. The owner Rosanna Chow and her son behave so rough with clients. If anybody want to see unprofessional behave, then they could go there.

It's no small task changing accountants, but after working with APBS I now recognize that it was well worth the effort. They were responsive to my calls, well considered in their responses and extremely sincere in their attitude. I look forward to working with the team again next year.
