SERVING SAN DIEGO Since 1977

“I have trusted Gaines and Welsh with my tax preparation for more than 20 years. That was just the beginning. When I started my law practice in 2014, Gaines and Welsh began handling my bookkeeping, payroll, and corporation requirements. I know I am in good hands with their firm, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are experienced professionals who are always available to me to answer questions about my business or tax needs. I am grateful for their thoughtful and thorough service!”

“Tracey Gaines and Gaines and Welsh Tax Service have been my tax accountants for over 42 years. I have had multiple businesses in that 42 years and Tracey has been able to guide me through the tax implications of each of my businesses as they have become more complex and complicated. Through Tracey’s guidance, I have never had any tax issues in all those years. Tracey’s advice, service and professionalism are much appreciated by me and my family. I am a client for life.”

“After going through many accountants and tax professionals, we can say that Gaines & Welsh is, by far, the absolute best accounting, tax, and payroll firm that we have ever worked with. The employees are responsive, accurate, and are always available to answer any question or take on any task. They spend time to make sure that everything is accurate and they can handle anything we send their way. We are very grateful for their personal attention, hard work and professionalism. Gaines and Welsh is top notch!”

“Who doesn't love the "Rock and Roll tax guy"?

I have referred to these guys by my best friend years ago. Her friend and mother have been using them for a long time as well. So since than I have had my taxes done by Tracey and Eathan for over 5 years. They work hard to get my best return and are always very nice and helpful. Their staff is so friendly it's sad I only see them all once a year. They are a little more than my last place but considering I get a good return I feel good in paying them.”

“My go-to guy for years for all tax matters. Even though I don't live in SAN anymore I still have Tracey Gaines do my taxes. He knows his stuff! I discovered him when he did a weekly tax radio show on KFMB...

Business and personal taxes-- he does it all. Great office staff, too.”
