I'm a mortgage loan officer and needed to contact Phil regarding a mutual client who was refinancing his property. Phil has prepared the client's taxes for over 25 years and he exemplifies reliability, consistency, and knowledge of the tax code. He was extremely helpful and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a salt-of-the-earth tax person.

Phil has been preparing my taxes for over 20 years. His professionalism and concern is unsurpassed. When I was audited in 2010, Phil was there to reassure and support me, and no additional taxes were found. Because of his many years preparing taxes and financial planning, Phil knows all the maximum deductions. Phil has helped my small business survive in these tough times. Thanks, Phil!
I found Philip on the Internet. I was impressed with his professionalism and quick turnaround in completing our taxes. I informed him of additional information for our taxes a few days after I dropped off our documents. He happily accepted the information and quickly revised our taxes. I would highly recommend his services

My business had been audited by the IRS four years in a row. Then I met Phil and started using him for my business's accounting and tax filings. That was 31 "problem-free" years ago. If you want things done right the first time, advice you can trust and personalized service, Phil is your man.

I found Phil on the internet after searching for an IRS Enrolled Agent. wanted to make sure that I did not get audited. I don’t live in CA so I had to fax all of my information. Phil was very prompt in his request of additional information. He finished my taxes fasted then I expected and had everything out to me immediately in the mail. I was very surprised when the package arrived. The copies were professionally bound, postage already placed on the preprinted envelopes to be sent to the IRS and he attached additional information for use in the future. Thank you again, Phil, for making this an enjoyable experience. You will get referrals from me!

We met Phil Chute approximately 15 years ago after the big .com bust and then some abuse from Prudential Securities. When I contacted Phil He said, you don't have a lot to work with but I'd be happy to give it a try." Now 15 years later we are back financially safe and secure using advice from Phil.

I have been a customer of Phil Chute since 1986 for year-end personal tax returns. Phil's knowledge and insights with the ever changing tax laws has proven year after year to be a great asset to me. Phil makes the process easy and his staff makes the experience pleasant. I moved out of the Temecula area in 1999 and have continued to use Phil and all his talent via mail and email. If you aren't his client yet, you should be!
Phil was referred to me via a friend and he is AMAZING!! He has been doing my taxes for a number of years, which includes my personal, business, and nonprofit. He is highly knowledgeable and has amazing patience. I trust Phil and his expertise and am quite honored to call him a professional, asset, and dear friend.

Phil has been a blessing to me. I had three years of taxes which I had not filed. H&R Block and other commercial firms wanted to charge me an arm and a leg and were not able to give me the level of individual attention which my tax situation required. I initially asked Phil to file only one of those years for me. Phil was easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable. I was so satisfied with the job he did that I asked him to prepare the other years and haven't looked back since. He will be my tax guy for as long as he stays in practice. I highly recommend his services.

I believe I am at the decade mark with Phil doing my personal tax returns. I continue to use him even though I am not in Temecula or even California for that matter. He has shown personal care towards us. This is what business relationships should be...personal (l know, sounds foreign). It seems when I suffered financially he could feel my pain. I feel very comfortable with his work...l do not feel I have to watch over my shoulder for the IRS to come after me as I know Phil knows what he is doing. I recommend Phil with zero hesitation...
Phil has given us excellent advice in financial matters. He has a wealth of experience and willing to share it. You can count on Phil Chute to provide you with excellent, professional and qualified expertise. We don’t live in Temecula, but we drive one and a half hours to meet with Phil.

Phil Chute has been my go-to guy for taxes, business advice, and friendship for more than 30 years. I couldn't let him get away when he moved to Temecula some years ago where he saw the future and grabbed it. He's definitely worth the drive. When I put my tax documents in his hands, I know I can relax because we trust him. We also have the camaraderie of both being ex-GIs. We are proud of our military service and love our country. Phil has continued to upgrade his accounting skills and his licensing over the years and I feel he can handle anything in the business and financial field. His advice is based on superior knowledge and experience. He has written authoritative books that demonstrate his expertise. recommend him highly and I am sure that folks who choose his services will be very happy with the results.
I found Phil on the internet while searching for an IRS Enrolled Agent to help file my personal and new business's tu returns. During our initial conversation over the telephone Phil was very patient and helpful. He asked me a lot of questions and explained everything I needed to do in detail and even emailed me a checklist to guide me. After I gathered all of my necessary documentation, I emailed it to Phil. Then in just a few days he emailed me a preliminary copy of my returns so that I could review them before he filed them on my behalf. They were perfect. He didn't miss a detail. I still can't believe how lucky I was to find him. He so knowledgeable and really cares about his customers. This was easiest and most thorough return I have ever filed. Thanks again Phil, you're the best!
