Bio

Tax Resolution Expert |S-Corp Tax Specialist| Admitted to Practice Before the IRS | Advocate for Business Owners Under Audit

With over 11 years of experience in the accounting profession, I’m a powerful ally for business owners facing one of the most stressful challenges any business owner could face: being audited. As an Enrolled Agent admitted to practice before the IRS, I specialize in representing clients in all types of federal and state tax disputes—from offers in compromise and real estate taxes in arrears to trust fund recovery penalty investigations.

After a decade in traditional accounting roles across industries ranging from federal agencies to cybersecurity contractors, I decided it was time for a career shift. From 2019 to 2022, I owned and managed multiple eCommerce stores, gaining firsthand experience with the accounting, cash flow, and operational complexities small business owners face. Following various project-based accounting assignments, I transitioned full-time into tax resolution work.

Since 2022, I’ve taken on multiple “David vs. Goliath” battles—from litigating with my auto insurance company in a personal injury case to fighting debt collectors over disputed consumer debts. These experiences sharpened my resolve and shaped my mission: to stand up for entrepreneurs when tax authorities come knocking—especially in cases other tax professionals shy away from. Whether it’s a surprise audit or a six-figure tax debt, I provide strategic, compassionate representation that helps level the playing field.

I bring deep industry insight to clients in eCommerce, food and beverage (including restaurants and bars), consumer packaged goods (CPG), and trucking—industries frequently burdened by shifting tax laws, complex cash flow challenges, intricate compliance rules, and high audit risk. Whether navigating nexus issues for online sellers, resolving payroll tax problems for restaurants, or addressing fuel tax audits for trucking companies, I deliver results with clarity and urgency.

On stage, I demystify the tax resolution process, educate business owners on proactive risk management, and shares real-world stories that resonate with both technical and non-technical audiences. Whether speaking to business schools, industry associations, or entrepreneurship events, I bring a mix of experience, authority, and approachability to every talk.

How Your Accountant is Misleading You on S-Corporations

Your Accountant, your friends, your family are all screaming at you to file for an S-Corporation Tax Election. But should you? There are many variables overlooked that are unique to each small business owner's situation.

State Tax Agencies Are Just as Brutual as the IRS! Overlooked Issues in Tax Representation

State tax agencies can be just as vicious as the IRS. In fact, many states are going after small business owners & individuals at an alarming rate. From shutting down online stores due to past due sales taxes to injured/innocent spouse relief & state level use tax audits, don't think that tax representation is only with the IRS. It is with all 50 states!

Profit on Paper or Profit in the Bank?

Many businesses think they are making a profit. Except it is "on paper". Business owners check their bank balances only to find that their profit isn't there. An overlooked principle is focusing first on cash flow then on profit. It is far easier to fix leaks affecting profits than it is on cash flow drains that are putting your business at risk!
