Most bookkeepers just "record data." As a Tax Professional and QuickBooks Specialist, I do the opposite: I build your books with the tax return in mind. This means no more frantic "cleanup" in March, no missed deductions, and total clarity on your cash flow. How I can help you: -The Deep Cleanup: I specialize in forensic bookkeeping: fixing years of unreconciled accounts, unapplied payments, and "Other Misc. Expense" mysteries. -Full-Cycle Bookkeeping: Routine reconciliations, invoicing, and bill pay so you can focus on running your business. -Payroll & 1099s: Seamless payroll processing and contractor filing to keep you compliant with state and federal laws. -Tax-Ready Financials: Because I prepare business and personal tax returns, I ensure your chart of accounts is optimized for maximum legal tax savings. Why Clients Choose Me: -S-Corp & Partnership Expert: I understand the specific complexities of basis, distributions, and K-1s. -Proactive Strategy: I don’t just tell you what happened last month; I help you plan for the next quarter. -Accuracy Guaranteed: I provide financials you can actually rely on for bank loans, audits, or scaling. Stop stressing over your books and start making data-driven decisions. Message me or book a consult to discuss your cleanup project or ongoing needs. I’m happy to provide a preliminary review of your QuickBooks file to see exactly what’s needed.

I’m a CPA and Financial Planner with 10+ years of industry leading experience in tax planning, financial planning, and strategic wealth management for both businesses and individuals.

I therefore have a unique core client base on complex, high net worth clients with multi jurisdiction lifestyles that give them exposure to tax regimes in multiple countries. I founded and operate my own CPA firm and fee-only financial planning practice, bringing the expertise of Big 4 experience (including PwC) and deep industry insight working with high net worth individuals, business owners, executives, and leading companies. My key services include: - Tax planning & tax strategy (business & individual) - International tax strategy (business & individual) - Financial planning & retirement planning - Wealth management & investment strategy - Entity structuring & tax-efficient business planning - IRS compliance & tax risk management - Cash flow planning & financial forecasting - Year-round advisory & tax optimization guidance I use a forward-looking, fiduciary-driven approach to reduce tax burden, improve financial performance, and support smarter financial decisions at every stage — from year-end planning to quarterly tax strategy and long-term wealth preservation. Clients typically hire me when they’re looking for a trusted CPA, tax strategist, financial planner, fiduciary advisor, or wealth management expert who can reduce taxes legally, improve financial outcomes, and provide clarity in complex financial situations. 💡 If you want a strategic tax planner, high-level financial planner, or certified public accountant who integrates tax strategy with financial planning and investment goals, let’s talk.
