Personal tax planning & preparation

You're busy building your business and living your life.
Let us handle the taxes.

We work with small business owners, Americans living overseas, and anyone with real complexity in their finances — people working hard who don't have the bandwidth to also become tax experts. We explain things in plain English, plan ahead to lower what you owe, and take the guesswork off your plate so tax season stops feeling like a threat.

  • Small business owners (franchisees, LLCs, S-Corps, and sole proprietors)
  • Americans with multiple income streams
  • Americans living abroad or splitting time between countries
  • Americans with businesses or investments overseas
  • Non-US citizens who work in the US or have investments there (inpats)
  • Anyone else with a situation too complex for self-guided options

Who We Help

A whole world fits inside your tax return.

US individual taxes are complex because they have to account for everything: every situation you're in, every law that could apply, and everything the IRS wants to know about you. A lot of people think, "I just want to file my personal taxes," and assume their business is a separate thing entirely. But for most small businesses, the business is part of your individual return. We help you navigate all of it — from one business owner to another.

Small business owners

Franchisees, LLCs, S-Corps, and sole proprietors

  • A personal, ongoing relationship — the same person, every time
  • Entity structuring guidance before you incorporate or expand
  • Quarterly check-ins and planning throughout the year
  • Bookkeeping-to-return coordination, so nothing falls through the cracks
Multiple income streams

You want someone who can handle real complexity

  • Freelance income, K-1s, RSUs, and stock options
  • Rental property and multiple income streams
  • Real planning ahead of the year, before decisions get made
  • A direct line to the person actually doing your taxes
Americans abroad

Living overseas or splitting time between countries

  • Still taxed on worldwide income — FBAR, FATCA, and the rest
  • Foreign tax credit and treaty questions, handled clearly
  • Accidental Americans and green card holders welcome
  • Streamlined filing for anyone who's fallen behind
Overseas businesses & investments

Owning or investing abroad, done right from the US side

  • Foreign-registered businesses (Form 5471, GILTI/NCTI as needed)
  • Foreign investments, pensions, and inherited assets
  • Earnings & profits reconstruction and reporting
  • Coordination with local accountants where you live
Non-US citizens (inpats)

Working or investing in the US as a foreign national

  • Nonresident and resident alien filing (Form 1040-NR or 1040)
  • US-source income from work, investments, or property
  • Tax treaty benefits and withholding questions
  • FIRPTA and other considerations for foreign real estate investors
Anything more complex

If it doesn't fit a self-guided option, it fits here

  • Any situation that doesn't fall neatly into one category
  • Life changes — marriage, inheritance, relocation, a new venture
  • Catching up on back filings without the guesswork
  • Not sure where you fit? We'll figure it out together
How we work

Taxes, explained — not just filed.

01

Plain English, always

You'll never get a number with no explanation behind it. We walk you through what it means and why, in language that makes sense — no jargon, no judgment if this has never clicked for you before.

02

Planning, not just filing

We look for ways to lower what you owe throughout the year, not just report it every April. By the time your return is due, there shouldn't be any surprises left in it.

03

One less thing on your plate

You're busy running your business or your life. Taxes shouldn't be the thing keeping you up at night — that's what we're here for, so you don't have to carry it alone.

04

Responsive, always

A great tax person you can never reach isn't much help. Answering promptly and being available when you need us isn't an extra — it's part of the package.

Why work with us

This isn't advice from a textbook. It's advice from someone who's run her own business and lived the compliance herself.

I've owned and run a business abroad since 2018. I know what it's like to discover a filing obligation years after it started — and what it takes to get current without losing sleep over it. I don't just hand you a number and let you deal with the reaction. I walk you through why it is what it is, and I look for ways to bring it down before the year ends, not after. If numbers make your eyes glaze over, that's exactly why I'm here — you don't need to understand the tax code, you just need someone who does, and who's on your side.

Services

Here's the general workflow — tailored to your situation.

01

Introduction & engagement

We start by getting to know your situation, walk through a quote, and sign an engagement letter before any work begins.

GETTING STARTED
02

Tax planning before tax season

Looking ahead before the year closes, so there are no surprises when it's time to file.

PLANNING
03

Quarterly estimated tax payments

Calculated and managed throughout the year, so you're never caught off guard by what you owe or hit with an underpayment penalty.

ONGOING
04

Tax return preparation

Individual returns and business returns — partnerships, LLCs, and S-Corps — whether your finances are simple, complex, or cross-border.

ANNUAL
05

Small business advisory & structuring

Available as an additional service for business owners — entity choice and understanding the tax impact of business decisions before they're locked in.

AS NEEDED
06

For expats: streamlined & delinquent filing catch-up

For Americans abroad who've fallen behind — reconstructing back returns, FBARs, FATCA, and everything else that goes with getting current, including accidental Americans filing for the first time.
