Testimonials

Paulina at Ratio CPA is a consummate professional. I have used a number of CPA’s in the past and was serially underwhelmed with their churn & burn, do paperwork and then collect fees attitude. Ratio CPA is a completely different world of service AND results. We developed a personalized strategic tax plan over multiple meetings with all questions answered, client education, and ready availability. I have learned more about taxes with Paulina and Eli at Ratio CPA in a few months than I have in the 10 years of adult life before that. They stand by their service at Ratio, and literally in the first year doing my taxes TRIPLED my return. They expect they will do even better next year with time to plan and strategize and I can’t wait to see it! THANK YOU, PAULINA!

Paulina is amazing , she is excellent to work with and very highly recommended . She gave me valuable tax reduction advice that will save me significant amounts of money in the long run I can’t recommend her enough . She is knowledgeable, very professional , organized and very readily available for advice and to walk you through all the steps

I have worked with Eli and the team for two years now. I started with tax strategy and filings for one company in the first year, and now, I have given them all my businesses. Very professional and clear in communication.

I connected with Eli and Paulina of Ratio CPA via LinkedIn and I have already received an endless amount of information and support. All of my questions are answered promptly and they are very easily reachable by email. The advice they gave is priceless and was not offered by my previous Ratio CPA. Being an independent contractor does have a lot of benefits, and the Ratio CPA team is helping me to actually see those benefits. I am confident that all of the tax savings are legal and will not be an issue if I were to be audited. I look forward to working with them more and seeing how all of the changes come to fruition. Thank you Ratio CPA!

Eli Keren has been my accountant for the past 15 years and I believe that this length of time by itself speaks volumes. I have a tremendous amount of trust with Eli’s work, especially since he and his team go far beyond my expectations in providing proactive, insightful, and valuable tax, accounting, and financial support. In particular, through the implementation of accounting software and improved procedures, Eli has streamlined my entire accounting system, freeing up our time to concentrate on building the business. I think every company, large or small, can rely on Ratio CPA^**, for their tax, accounting, and financial needs.

I have worked with Eli Keren from Ratio CPA^** since 2016. Eli is easily the most responsive and proactive person I work with regarding my US business. He is well-informed, gives good advice, and always presents options – this makes it much easier for me to make good decisions quickly. Eli could give seminars in how to provide outstanding customer service. I recommend Eli and Ratio CPA^** unreservedly. Eli is simply the best!

Eli is a joy to work with. He led my company through a complicated topic and handily addressed some errors which had been made by our previous accountant. He made suggestions about accounting practices to make our daily and annual book keeping easier. I have worked with him for over a decade now and when he opened Ratio CPA^**, I was thrilled at the level of technology he embraced. Paulina is a welcome addition to what I think of as “My guys” (because everyone is a “Guy” in Chicago), a critical part of my professional network. They are warm and interesting people as well, and I always look forward to our meetings.

Eli is a hard working, friendly, and reliable CPA who always responds within a timely manner. He has helped answer many business and tax related questions. He was recommended to me by a friend, and I would definitely recommend him to others!

Eli Keren provided outstanding advice and timely accounting for my company, 5 after 9, LLC. Making the transition from contractor to company was very challenging at the end of our first year. Luckily year two was much easier after meeting and working with Eli. I’ve started 2009 not dreading bookkeeping because if I have questions about best practices for accounting, he’s only a call or email away.

Eli is a very detail-oriented, hard-working and honest professional. I trust him with all my accounting needs and value his financial advice. He is an excellent listener, really cares about his clients and thinks outside-the-box to find the best solutions to problems. I highly recommend him to other professionals who need an accountant they can trust.

Eli has advised me and prepared the taxes for two trusts for which I have been the trustee. The estates were complex, requiring federal and state returns (multiple states) as well as for foreign beneficiaries. Eli is very clear and thorough, but still gets the work done on time. I recommend Eli highly for any tax work, especially if it is complex and requires care.

I was first introduced to Eli from my good friend and business lawyer, Matt. He spoke highly of him and thought he’d be a good fit for me. I had been struggling some with getting my accounting and paperwork sorted out and organized. When I first spoke with Eli, I immediately felt relieved and almost instantly, knew I could trust him. I also knew that I wanted him on my team to help get my business where it needed to be. His services are incredibly valuable and have saved me time, energy, and most of all, unnecessary headaches. Eli is kind, knowledgable, accessible, and most of all patient. There were times I needed to track documents down, or go through processes I didn’t quite understand. He is always there to answer questions, guide me through things, or provide resources. I highly recommend Eli as your go-to Ratio CPA^** to add to your team. He is one of my most valuable team members. I look forward to a long and rewarding relationship. Thank you, Eli!

My taxes are a little more complicated than what I felt comfortable doing myself using a Turbotax type of program, but not so complicated that they require a large accounting firm. I’d recommend Ratio CPA^** to anyone who is in this in-between area. They were very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. And the price was fair.

Professional and very Helpful! We are looking forward to doing more future business with them =)

Eli at Ratio CPA^** is a pleasure to work with. For many years, Eli has supported the accounting & taxation needs for both our investment advisory firm and personal finances. He always delivers great work with solid communication.

Eli is an extremely talented and reliable accountant and the type of person you want as part of your Business Team.

I highly recommend Eli based on several things. First he is a professional in every sense of the word, high integrity, great connector and truly cares about his clients. Second, I personally experience his Ratio CPA^** accounting expertise and was blown away. In all the years that I’ve worked with accountants I’ve never seen such a through preparation of my personal tax return. If you want to work with an accounting professional that truly gets it, then Eli is your man. You won’t be disappointed!

We were fortunate to work with Paulina this year for our taxes and she did an amazing job! She is prompt, professional and extremely competent!

Paulina and Eli are real professionals with wide knowledge in the tax arena especially as it relates to the medical profession. I wish I had consulted with them much earlier- tax knowledge is powerful but it is unfortunately not common knowledge for most professionals.

Eli and Paulina are absolutely fantastic to work with. They are very quick to respond to emails and always address my questions and concerns in an organized and comprehensive manner. Their level of enthusiasm and professionalism is evident in their work, and I am definitely going to be a long-term customer. They are honest, completely online, informed regarding physician related issues, and are always looking out for your best interest. Thanks!

Eli is a professional Ratio CPA^** who has been able to prepare my tax returns effectively and timely. In addition, his knowledge and experience has helped me in addressing tax planning and issues that I found valuable. He takes the time necessary to make sure that I understand the solution being recommended. I have recommended Eli to friends and family.

Paulina worked with me on tax planning and tax preparation for my personal tax return. She did such a great job – so much better than my previous accountant!!! I was also able to save on taxes beyond what I had been deducting in the past. I really recommend Paulina and Eli and their services!!!!

Ratio^** works only with doctors, so as a physician it was a no brainer for me to seek their help with my taxes and tax planning. They explained useful and physician-relevant strategies for reducing and preparing taxes. Paulina and Eli are professional, very knowledgeable, and friendly. I highly recommend this company for income tax preparation and tax reduction.

Eli has been very helpful and detail oriented in assisting my family with tax planning, tax consulting and tax return preparation services for several years. In particular, his services have been beneficial in advising us regarding how to plan for tax minimization as our financial situation has changed over the last few years. He is great at creating a plan at the beginning of every year, keeping in touch regarding the plan and then responding to any questions that arise throughout the year. I would recommend Eli for any and all tax planning, tax consulting and tax return preparation services.

Paulina, in her capacity as a Tax Reduction Advisor, has introduced me to useful tax saving techniques previously unknown to me. I have found her to be professional, courteous and promptly responsive.
