Effective tax preparation and planning can help you to minimize your future tax liability. I can help you proactively manage both your personal and your business tax issues, including understanding how upcoming business opportunities impact your tax status and vice versa.

I understand how the latest federal and state tax legislation and other developments affect you and your business. I am constantly identifying new ways to reduce federal and state tax liabilities.

Common questions

Typically a copy of last year's return, W-2s, 1099s, Social Security numbers, and receipts for deductions. I'll send you a full checklist after we connect.

Do you work with self-employed clients?

Yes — freelancers, contractors, and small business owners are a big part of my practice. I understand the unique deductions and requirements for self-employed filers.
