Michael Drews and Company 1414 Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362

"Don’t go here! Drews took over the Freeman’s practice in 2021. Freeman was loved for his ability to combine savvy tax business with personal care. They had done my entire family’s taxes for 20 years and my parent’s taxes since 1972. In less than 24 hours after take over Drews managed to make this place extremely obnoxious and unbelievably expensive! A few months later for no reason I’m aware of, I got a letter of “dismissal” as a client. After 40+ UNEVENTFUL years with Freeman what does that tell you about this place now? To add further injury to insult, in 2022 I discovered he screwed things up on my taxes with the FED! Michael is an unbelievable idiot! I honestly don’t know how this guy stays in business yet alone could afford to buy out Freeman’s business. I went and found myself another polite, professional and personal tax accountant the following year, who charges fees in accordance with the work they actually perform. Everything is perfect again, including my taxes being done correctly! To those of you mourning the loss of Freeman senior and his long legacy of tax savvy excellency, know that you are not alone."

"I was referred to Mr. Freeman through family financial strategies. Extremely knowledgeable in accounting and financial field.If you looking for accountant to help you how to structure your LLC or any kind of corporation and get you the best tax benefits, you in a right Firm! Ps: Mr.Freeman won’t be only your accountant, He will be one of your good friend!"

"I truly appreciated Christine’s help at Freem & Associates with my 2017 taxes. She asked great questions, answered mine in a way I could understand and had superhuman patience with my e-mail clarifications and hovering. I'm thankful for the envelops and forms provided for my LLC and quarterly payments. I no longer feel completely naive and that I’m in good hands. Great sage advice and professional care."

"We were referred to Steve Freeman by a long time family friend. Her recommendation came with very high praise. During our first appointment with Steve we had a ton of questions. We appreciate the time that he took with us to help us better understand our situation which in turn allowed us to move forward with our plan. His great deal of knowledge, patients, and kind demeanor made our experience one that we will repeat over and over as well as recommend Steve Freeman & Associates to our friends, family and others just as our friend recommended him to us. Thank you Steve Freeman & Associates !"

"I have been using Steve with Freeman & Associates for the last four years (since 2012). I wish I had found them sooner. We use them for our personal and LLC business tax returns. Steve is very personable (which is rare for a tax professional), but more importantly, he is a human encyclopedia of Tax Law. I can't imagine how he remembers all of this, with the laws changing every year. BUT, he is able to explain our government's crazy rules that apply to our situations in a simple, easy to understand way, and he backs it up with case citations. He is a business owner, so I've found that he's uniquely understanding of the challenges and issues that face small-to-medium business people. Much better than working with 21-year old college graduate who is an employee of a large firm and doesn't 'get it'. Steve proactively works with me mid-year to get a handle on where we stand, so we can make strategic decisions before we're in a panic at year-end. AND, he takes time to answer questions I have about our returns. We moved to PA a few years ago, and I continue to use him (we just have a phone call appointment and I email him all of our paperwork), because he is so good. I highly recommend Steve and Freeman & Associates."
