I help profitable business owners make better tax, retirement, compensation, and financial planning decisions before year-end, while there is still time to plan. My work is best suited for S-Corp owners, consultants, agency owners, professional service firms, and high-income self-employed professionals who need integrated tax and wealth strategy, not generic tax prep. Common projects include: • Business-owner tax planning • S-Corp compensation and distribution planning • Solo 401(k), SEP IRA, and retirement contribution strategy • Entity structure and owner compensation review • Cash-flow planning around taxes, payroll, and owner distributions • Tax-aware financial planning for business owners • Coordination questions involving CPAs, payroll providers, and attorneys I am a Certified Financial Planner™ professional and IRS Enrolled Agent. My focus is not simply preparing forms after the year is over. I help business owners understand the planning decisions that affect taxes, retirement savings, liquidity, risk, and long-term wealth building. A good fit is usually a business owner who is already profitable, has tax complexity, and wants a structured second opinion before making decisions. A poor fit is someone looking for the cheapest tax return, bookkeeping cleanup, day trading advice, stock picks, or a quick answer without reviewing the facts. The best starting point is a paid diagnostic consultation. We will review your situation, identify the major planning issues, separate what is urgent from what can wait, and outline next steps. If deeper work makes sense, I can scope a separate planning engagement after the call. Important: this profile is for education, planning, and advisory discussions. Tax, legal, and investment recommendations depend on your facts, documents, timing, and applicable rules. No tax savings, investment result, or planning outcome is guaranteed. Talk soon, Cayden W.

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 have additional expertise within the international financial planning and tax strategy space due to my unique skillset of holding a CPA license as well as equivalent licenses in a number of other countries (including Chartered Accountant status etc).

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.
