If you are tired of paying a face-less company to file your tax return, and would like a more individualized approach, contact me. I am a big proponent of exploiting the tax code to the advantage of small business and self-employed individuals to furthest extent legally allowed.

I am a CPA in South Carolina offering income tax preparation and accounting services for individuals and small businesses. I started this journey after working for a large public accounting firm which dealt mostly with high-earning individuals and businesses. After leaving the firm, my sister reached out to me one day about reviewing her tax return that was prepared by a tax preparation franchise in Georgia. I quickly noticed many available tax deductions were not taken on her rental property. I amended the return and she received $6,000 back from the IRS. Through this experience, I saw the need for more tax preparation options for the middle-class. At the time, my sister had lower income with 3 children and didn’t think she could afford a CPA. With 4 children of my own, I am thankful I don’t have to choose between a storefront tax preparation franchise or a costly CPA firm. She was charged $400 for the incorrect return filed by the tax prep franchise. At this price, even though she had multiple sources of income, I believe she should have been able to find a CPA who could prepare her return right the first time. I have a passion for helping others by solving their tax issues and minimizing their tax burdens at an affordable price. Please reach out to me for a free estimate or free high-level review of your prior years return.
