About
Starting in 1989, I established an accounting firm where I specialized in traditional public accounting for 22 years. My area of expertise is tax preparation and planning for individuals as well as small businesses, international tax compliance, and representation before the IRS and the United States Tax Court. With more than three decades of experience in individual, business, nonprofit, and trust tax prep, three things that I have perfected include creative tax strategy, informative tax educating and advisory, and clear and regular communication.

Currently, as a Contract (Fractional) CFO, I offer financial analysis, projections, strategic planning, banking, and tax strategies that are beneficial for the company's owners and stakeholders while utilizing only half of the budget for a full-time CFO. I collaborate with executive leadership to develop internal accounting systems that provide the necessary financial information needed to make quality decisions. Moreover, I help create lean operational systems that maximize efficiency in achieving business goals. Also, I work towards maximizing tax savings through the creation of "Smart Tax Advantageous Enterprises." Lastly, I offer my expertise to assist in developing creative marketing strategies for a product or service launch and differentiation in the marketplace.

Michael was truly impressive in his response! Despite my being an elderly individual who struggles with the nuances of the internet and social media, he was extremely understanding and patient. Moreover, he excelled in assisting me with my tax return.

As tax day approached, I found myself procrastinating on doing my taxes. Being in the military, I had recently moved from VA to CA while renting out my previous house in VA, all while being a resident of TX. Understanding that my taxes would be complex, I knew I couldn't handle them alone. Fortunately, Michael was able to come to my aid on short notice and helped me receive a refund that exceeded my wildest expectations! He was extremely communicative, accommodating, and made sure to walk me through each step of the process. Moving forward, I plan on using Michael's services annually.

My helper, Michael, has been supporting me from the beginning in filing my latest tax return and has discovered additional deductions that I was unaware of.
