Tired of your accountant and financial advisor not being on the same page? For individuals and business owners, the left hand (your taxes) often doesn't know what the right hand (your investments) is doing. This disconnect can cost you money and slow your progress. I solve this by offering integrated financial leadership. As a CPA and a Personal Financial Specialist, I run two specialized firms that work in concert to manage your entire financial world. My Two-Firm Approach: 1. For Your Business & Tax Life I handle the core financial health of your entities, ensuring compliance and uncovering strategic opportunities. - Tax & Accounting: Full-service tax compliance and consulting for individuals, businesses, LLCs, corporations, and nonprofits. - Audit & Review Services: For nonprofits, debt covenant compliance, and investor relations. - Strategic Consulting: Deep expertise in real estate (1031 Exchanges, Bonus Depreciation, Cost Segregation) and industries like healthcare, retail, and food & beverage. 2. For Your Personal Wealth & Goals I act as your personal financial guide, turning your assets into a structured plan for your future. - Asset Management: Discretionary portfolio management for all account types (retirement, trust, business), focused on strategic rebalancing. - Comprehensive Financial Planning: We look at your entire picture like cash flow, goals, retirement, estate to build a actionable plan for your short-term and long-term ambitions. The Bottom Line: You get a unified strategy. The tax savings I identify in my CPA firm directly inform the investment strategy I implement in my Financial firm.
