I have 5 years of individual tax preparation. I have experience with simple and complex tax returns. I will take my time and analyze all different scenarios, finding out your best filing status in order to make sure I get the maximum refund.
I have been self employed preparing taxes for a little over 5 years.
I have experience with rental properties, Sale of rental and personal property, business including depreciation and inventory returns, partnerships, multiple States, amended returns, and foreign income returns to name a few. I have limited experience in S corporation returns.
I have the PITIN number issued by the irs to prepare taxes and I re certify every year and keep up with updates.
I charge 40 dollars per hour for personal income tax returns and 30 dollars per hour for bookkeeping

Most accountants are very good at telling you what happened last year.
I think that's about 12 months too late.
I work proactively with business owners, entrepreneurs, real estate investors, and high-income individuals to identify tax-saving opportunities BEFORE the year is overโwhile there's still time to do something about them.
I'm not just a tax preparer. I'm a CPA, former CEO, entrepreneur, business owner, author, and strategic advisor.
I know the tax code. But just as importantly, I know what it's like to sign the front of the check.
๐ A FEW THINGS I'VE DONE ALONG THE WAY
โ Built and led a 60-person CPA firm as CEO
โ Created proprietary Employee Retention Credit software
โ Helped recover $100+ million in tax credits
โ Generated $2+ million in annual tax savings for one healthcare company
โ Author of the Tax Credits Are Sexyโข book series
โ Built, bought, operated, and sold businesses
โ Raised capital and completed multiple acquisitions
โ Served as Controller, CFO, CEO, entrepreneur, and CPA
โ Top Rated Upwork freelancer with 100% Job Success
I've spent my career at the intersection of taxes, accounting, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. That's why I look at a tax return differently than someone who has spent their entire career preparing them.
โญ WHAT CLIENTS SAY
โKevin had always been a great source to help me with accounting, but when he got the IRS to send me two checks totaling over $250,000, it saved my business.โ
โ Cody Tretschok
โWhen Kevin first told me I might qualify for a tax credit, I said, โWe pay our CPA a lot of money. I'm sure they already took care of it.โ Kevin cared enough to keep pushing. It turned out our CPA had not taken care of itโand we received a very nice refund check from the IRS.โ

WHO I HELP
โข Business owners & entrepreneurs
โข S Corporation and LLC owners
โข Partnerships
โข Real estate investors
โข High-income individuals
โข Businesses with complex or multi-year tax issues
The objective is simple: Reduce taxes legally. Improve cash flow. Avoid expensive surprises. Make better financial decisions.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
TAX STRATEGY & TAX PLANNING
Tax preparation tells you what you owe.
Tax planning asks a much better question:
โWhat can we legally do to reduce it?โ
My work frequently includes:
โ Advanced Tax Planning & Tax Strategy
โ S Corporation & LLC Tax Planning
โ Entity Structure & Reasonable Compensation
โ Real Estate Tax Strategies & Cost Segregation
โ R&D Tax Credits
โ Retirement & Benefit Strategies
โ Multi-State Tax Planning
โ Prior-Year Opportunity Reviews
I don't recommend strategies simply because they're clever. They need to make economic sense.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
TAX PREPARATION & COMPLEX PROJECTS
โข Form 1040 โ Individual
โข Form 1120-S โ S Corporation
โข Form 1065 โ Partnership
โข Form 1120 โ C Corporation
โข Form 990 โ Nonprofit
โข Amended & Delinquent Tax Returns
โข Foreign-Owned LLC / Form 5472 Compliance
โข IRS Resolution & Tax Problems
If your accounting or prior returns are a mess, that's okay.
Some of my favorite projects start with:
โI have no idea what my last accountant did.โ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
BUSINESS & FINANCIAL ADVISORY
โข Fractional CFO Services
โข Financial Statement Review
โข QuickBooks Online / Bookkeeping Oversight
โข Cash Flow & Profitability Analysis
โข Financial Cleanup & Multi-Entity Accounting
โข Strategic Business Consulting
I've served as a Controller, CFO, CEO, entrepreneur, and CPA. So I'm looking at your numbers as a business ownerโnot simply as an accountant.
SOFTWARE: QuickBooks Online โข Drake Tax โข Excel โข Google Sheets โข Gusto โข ADP โข Xero โข Sage
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
WHY I STILL DO THIS AFTER 35+ YEARS
Because I love finding opportunities other people miss.
There's something incredibly satisfying about showing a business owner that the tax bill they assumed was inevitableโฆ wasn't.
I don't believe accountants should simply record history.
I believe we should help create a better financial future.
๐ฉ READY TO TALK?
Invite me to your Upwork project or send me a direct message. Tell me what's going on, what you're trying to accomplish, and any deadlines you're facing.
I'll tell you what I think the next step should beโand if I'm not the right CPA for the project, I'll tell you that too.
