Why choose me?
I am a Virginia-licensed CPA running a solo tax practice focused on tax preparation and tax planning for individuals, with particular experience in equity compensation (RSUs, ISOs, ESPP), self-employment, rental property, and multi-state returns. I bring the experience, expertise and technology to help you make smart financial decisions. My goal is to empower you with the tools, insights and strategies you need to manage your personal or business finances with confidence. I take the time to understand your full picture, so your return is accurate and you don’t leave money on the table. Then we plan ahead together, so April holds no surprises and every year’s taxes are a little easier than the last.
Services Provided
My core services are individual tax preparation and tax planning and advisory. Let me help you minimize surprises by looking at your current year tax picture, to help you pay what you must, and defer what you can. Bookkeeping, records cleanup, and consulting & reporting are also available as additional services.
