Corporate Experience.
Personal Attention.
My career spans auditing at EY, financial control at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and analysis at Bloomberg LP.
I've taught accounting at the university level, and I bring that same depth and rigor to every client I work with —
asking the questions that others miss, and standing behind my work year-round.

I ask the right questions, review your full picture, and work toward the best legitimate outcome for your situation.
✦
Fully Remote & Paperless
E-sign, e-file, and communicate entirely by email from anywhere in the country. No office visit required.
✦
Year-Round Availability
I'm available throughout the year for questions, planning conversations, and decisions that affect your taxes.
Advisory Services for
Complex Tax Situations
High earners, business owners, rental investors, and those with equity compensation often benefit from
year-round planning — not just annual filing. Advisory services are designed for exactly that.

Tax Advisory Services
Tax Preparation Is the Foundation.
Planning Is the Strategy.
Accurate filing matters. But for taxpayers with significant income, investments, or business activity,
the decisions made during the year shape the return far more than the filing itself.

The best tax strategies
require advance planning.
Most deductions, elections, and structural decisions have year-end deadlines.
If you're only reviewing your tax situation in April, many of those opportunities have already passed.
Advisory services exist to change that.
Is This You?
Tax Advisory Is Built for You
Not every taxpayer needs advisory services — but if you fall into one of these categories,
staying reactive about your taxes is an expensive choice.
The right advisory relationship pays for itself, often many times over.
01
W-2 High Earners
Single filers earning $200K+ or married couples at $400K+. You're already in the highest tax brackets — let's legally bring that down.
02
Rental Property Owners
Depreciation, passive loss rules, and 1031 exchanges can be powerful tools — or costly traps if mishandled.
03
Business Owners
Business owners at $30K+ net profit often benefit from S-corp elections and other tax strategies that a simple return never reveals.
04
Stock Compensation
RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, and ESPP shares all trigger complex tax events. Timing your exercises and sales strategically can save a fortune.
The Real Cost
Why Timing Matters
The tax code has provisions that benefit high earners and business owners — but most of them
require action before December 31st. A year-round advisory relationship ensures those opportunities aren't missed.
$15K+
Estimated additional tax W-2 earners over $200K may leave on the table without proactive planning
37%
Top federal marginal rate — every deduction saved is a dollar kept from the IRS
$0
What retroactive advice can do — most strategies expire December 31st
Year-Round
When advisory clients have access to me — not just at tax time
The Advisory Advantage
What Proactive Planning Delivers
Maximize Deductions Before Year-End
Many of the best deductions — retirement contributions, business purchases, charitable vehicles — must be in place before December 31st. We plan for them proactively.
Reduce Self-Employment & FICA Taxes
Business owners at $30K+ net profit often benefit from S-corp elections and other tax strategies that a simple return never reveals.
Navigate Stock Comp Without a Surprise Bill
RSUs vest as ordinary income. ISOs trigger AMT. ESPPs carry disqualifying dispositions. Without a plan, you can face a six-figure tax bill with no cash to pay it.
Optimize Rental Property Tax Treatment
We analyze depreciation schedules, passive activity rules, and short-term rental exceptions to minimize your rental tax exposure.
Capital Gains Planning
From harvesting losses to timing the sale of investments, the difference between short-term and long-term rates can be as high as 20+ percentage points.
Answer the Questions You Didn't Know to Ask
Should you convert to a Roth IRA this year? Is this the right time to sell your rental? I help you think through major decisions with the full tax picture in view.
What's Included
