Messy books. Missed tax filings. Financial records that do not make sense. This is where I help. I am a Certified Public Accountant and Certified Fraud Examiner with more than 25 years of experience helping business owners clean up accounting records, resolve tax issues, and get their financial systems working the way they should. Many of my clients come to me when their books are behind, transactions have not been reconciled, or their accountant cannot prepare the tax return because the financials are unreliable. I step in, fix the underlying problems, and put a structure in place so the numbers stay accurate going forward. What I do best: - QuickBooks Online setup, cleanup, and ongoing maintenance - Catch-up bookkeeping and historical cleanup - Reconciliation of bank, credit card, and loan accounts - Year-end preparation so your tax preparer has clean, reliable financials - Back-tax bookkeeping and filings for prior years - Monthly bookkeeping with clear financial reporting I also work with businesses that operate across multiple states or have foreign ownership of U.S. entities and need guidance on proper tax and reporting compliance. Why clients hire me: - CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner - 25+ years of accounting and tax experience - I solve complicated financial problems quickly and clearly - Straightforward communication and practical guidance If your books are messy, your tax situation is unclear, or you simply want your financials to finally make sense, I can help you get organized and move forward with confidence. Let’s talk about your situation and create a clear plan.

Taxes shouldn’t feel like a once-a-year fire drill. I help high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and growing businesses transform tax compliance into a year-round strategic advantage. My goal is simple: ensure you keep more of what you earn, remain fully compliant, and make financial decisions with total confidence. I don’t just "check boxes" or look in the rearview mirror. I take a forward-looking approach to tax planning, focusing on liability minimization, cash flow optimization, and the total elimination of surprises. By understanding the “why” behind your numbers, I help you position your business for maximum tax efficiency. What I specialize in: • Strategic tax planning & preparation • Partnerships (Form 1065) • S-Corporations (Form 1120-S) • C-Corporations (Form 1120) • Individuals (Form 1040) • Foreign-owned U.S. entities (Proforma 1120 & Form 5472) I also work closely with new and scaling businesses, guiding entrepreneurs through entity formation to ensure the most tax-efficient structure from day one. To support ongoing growth, I provide bookkeeping and financial analysis that delivers clear, high-level insights you can actually use to make better decisions. I believe the strongest partnerships are built on transparency and proactive communication—not last-minute emails. When you work with me, you gain a dedicated advisor who thinks ahead, explains the complex in simple terms, and is invested in your long-term success. If you’re looking for a proactive tax partner—not just a preparer—I’d be happy to learn more about your situation and discuss how a thoughtful tax strategy can improve your bottom line. Send me a message to get started!
