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 over—while 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. 🚀 A FEW THINGS I'VE DONE ALONG THE WAY ✔ Built and led a 60-person CPA firm as CEO ✔ Created proprietary Employee Retention Credit software ✔ Helped recover $100+ million in tax credits ✔ Generated $2+ million in annual tax savings for one healthcare company ✔ Author of the Tax Credits Are Sexy™ book series ✔ Built, bought, operated, and sold businesses ✔ Raised capital and completed multiple acquisitions ✔ Served as Controller, CFO, CEO, entrepreneur, and CPA ✔ 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. ⭐ WHAT CLIENTS SAY “Kevin 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.” — Cody Tretschok “When Kevin first told me I might qualify for a tax credit, I said, ‘We pay our CPA a lot of money. I'm sure they already took care of it.’ Kevin cared enough to keep pushing. It turned out our CPA had not taken care of it—and we received a very nice refund check from the IRS.” — Terha Marie 📩 Think you're paying too much tax—or have a tax problem that needs solving? Invite me to your project or send me a direct message. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO I HELP • Business owners & entrepreneurs • S Corporation and LLC owners • Partnerships • Real estate investors • High-income individuals • 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. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TAX STRATEGY & TAX PLANNING Tax preparation tells you what you owe. Tax planning asks a much better question: “What can we legally do to reduce it?” My work frequently includes: ✔ Advanced Tax Planning & Tax Strategy ✔ S Corporation & LLC Tax Planning ✔ Entity Structure & Reasonable Compensation ✔ Real Estate Tax Strategies & Cost Segregation ✔ R&D Tax Credits ✔ Retirement & Benefit Strategies ✔ Multi-State Tax Planning ✔ Prior-Year Opportunity Reviews I don't recommend strategies simply because they're clever. They need to make economic sense. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TAX PREPARATION & COMPLEX PROJECTS • Form 1040 – Individual • Form 1120-S – S Corporation • Form 1065 – Partnership • Form 1120 – C Corporation • Form 990 – Nonprofit • Amended & Delinquent Tax Returns • Foreign-Owned LLC / Form 5472 Compliance • IRS Resolution & Tax Problems If your accounting or prior returns are a mess, that's okay. Some of my favorite projects start with: “I have no idea what my last accountant did.” ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BUSINESS & FINANCIAL ADVISORY • Fractional CFO Services • Financial Statement Review • QuickBooks Online / Bookkeeping Oversight • Cash Flow & Profitability Analysis • Financial Cleanup & Multi-Entity Accounting • Strategic Business Consulting I've served as a Controller, CFO, CEO, entrepreneur, and CPA. So I'm looking at your numbers as a business owner—not simply as an accountant. SOFTWARE: QuickBooks Online • Drake Tax • Excel • Google Sheets • Gusto • ADP • Xero • Sage ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 inevitable… wasn't. I don't believe accountants should simply record history. I believe we should help create a better financial future. 📩 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 be—and if I'm not the right CPA for the project, I'll tell you that too. Kevin A. Marshall, CPA Author, Tax Credits Are Sexy™

Please invite me to apply for your job! For every client, I communicate freely to give you the design YOU want. I have studied design on my own for several years, and recently photo editing, and I have an artistic family background. After years in the aerospace electronics, and gaming industries, graphic design is my newfound love, and I find that I'm learning every day. I think it's terrific fun and I hope you’ll find my designs reflect this. Whether working as an independent freelancer or as an agency team member, I ALWAYS make time for my clients. For you, I'm a true freelancer and I do my own work (no A.I. here), or I occasionally obtain images from entirely legal sources and edit them. I am responsible for your satisfaction with my design, and I'll stay in touch. I log in and check messages several times a day. Primarily, I design logos, business cards, flyers, brochures, posters, vehicle magnets, t-shirts, social media covers, and banners. I also enjoy photo editing. I use the AWARD WINNING AFFINITY line of design apps from Serif Software in the UK, allowing me to output file formats that can be used in any display situation, and to create source files that can be opened and edited using any other design software that I'm aware of. I have recently started to do a bit of writing for one of my clients (in Brisbane, Australia). He has given me three excellent reviews for contracts with the 17 articles I have written, and for some editing and proofreading I have done for him. If you are interested, I'll be happy to send examples of my writing. I offer free revisions and support for 30 days (or longer) after completing a project. Employers are welcome to contact me.
