Experience & approach

More than plugging numbers into software

Tax preparation experience includes individual W-2 and 1099 filers, self-employed Schedule C clients, real estate investors, partnerships, S corporations, and nonprofit organizations. Previous work includes tax prep and audit experience, multi-year filing catch-up, and coordinating returns with bookkeeping cleanup so the numbers actually make sense.

The goal isn't just a filed return — it's making sure you understand what happened, what you owe and why, and what can be done differently next year.

Individual returns — W-2, 1099, retirement income, investments
Complex returns — real estate, Schedule C, stock options
Business and entity returns — partnerships, S corps, nonprofits
Multi-year catch-up and back-filing
Coordination with bookkeeping for cleaner inputs
Year-end planning conversations to reduce next year's bill

Past work

Recent engagements

Multi-year filing catch-up

Organized documents and prepared multiple years of back returns for a self-employed client with disorganized records, structured follow-up questions, and cleaner document flow throughout.

Schedule C structure

Helped 1099 and self-employed clients build cleaner expense categories and documentation before filing, reducing audit risk and improving clarity on deductible vs. non-deductible items.

Entity return + bookkeeping coordination

Coordinated tax preparation with bookkeeping cleanup so entity returns were built on reconciled, reliable numbers rather than exported data with unresolved errors.
