    This is where I do the heavy lifting. I'll come back with follow-up questions when I need them, but the bulk of the grunt work is on me.

    We'll schedule any follow-up calls, sort out next deadlines (estimated taxes, planning meetings, etc.), and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

The CPA behind the inbox

I'm a CPA who's been doing this work since 2008, mostly with small business owners across Oregon, Washington, and California. I started in a small Oregon firm chasing the corner-office dream, realized that wasn't for me, and went out on my own in 2013. Best decision I ever made.

My whole thing is helping you feel confident about your numbers. Most clients come to me with backlogged books or unfiled returns, and within a year they're caught up and actually comfortable talking about their finances. That's the part I love.
