Helping You Reach Your Financial Goals
We can help you with mortgage preparation, disability insurance, and unemployment coverage for slow periods.
I know that it is difficult moving from an all cash lifestyle but as you get older, you realize that it simply isn’t practical any longer. You need to be able to participate in more of society and that means paying taxes.
We meet you where you are and get you organized. Whatever records you have can be turned into usable financials to file your taxes. When we get you set up and compliant, the world opens up for you. In California, we can automatically get you short term disability, unemployment and family leave at a much lower cost than you would expect.
Your taxes owed will not be that bad. Just let us handle the numbers.
Tax Preparation
Whether you are a W2 employee working in ten different states or an S Corporation owner looking to file your taxes, we can handle it quickly and affordably.
Bookkeeping
With proper online software and minimal training, you can easily separate your business and personal spending, making bookkeeping a breeze that requires no time or effort from you.
Planning
We all know the industry is changing, and your income will go up and down every year. That is why I help plan in a way that maximizes your flexibility. We want to keep the most cash on hand in case another tragedy strikes Los Angeles or the industry, whether a fire, pandemic, or strike. We can help set up a reasonable emergency fund and keep money for paying taxes.
Unemployment and Health Insurance
Did you know that if you own your own S Corporation, you can receive unemployment while not working? Even during the strike, you could have been collecting. With more control over taxable income, we can also help with low-cost or affordable health insurance if you are not in a union or guild.
From Chaos to Clarity
Every year you get older and nothing changes. Living a cash based lifestyle seemed like fun when you were in your twenties but now it is time to grow up. You know that you cannot get hurt because no income will be coming in. Buying a home seems impossible. Even starting a family seems completely out of reach.
It does not have to be that way. You can file your taxes, plan for retirement, and be prepared for inevitable injuries that come from having a physical job, and it will not be as bad as you thought it would be.

Choose Your Ideal Tax Support
We offer three options—Silver, Gold, and Platinum—tailored to meet different needs and levels of assistance. Each option is designed to make tax preparation and bookkeeping easier for you, whether you prefer to do more yourself or want comprehensive support throughout the year.
Silver
This option is perfect for people who want to do most of the work themselves, whether to control costs or because they enjoy doing it. It is solely for tax preparation for business and/or personal taxes. You will provide documents, income, expenses, and any other issues you have, and I will prepare your tax returns.
Gold
Includes the Silver tax preparation and bookkeeping. Using software, we will track your income and expenses for the purpose of tax preparation. You will receive financial statements along with tax returns. This is purely historical work and does not include any planning or projections, but if things don’t change significantly, you can expect more or less the same taxes every year.
Platinum
The platinum option includes tax preparation, bookkeeping, planning, and compliance work. Your bookkeeping will be updated throughout the year, and forecasts will be sent twice a year, in the summer and at year's end. We will also ensure that your annual reports and business licenses are renewed each year.
From Ink to Savings:
How a Tattoo Artist Secured His Family’s Future
A tattoo artist came to me because he recently got married and had another child. He wanted to start saving for the future and his kids, from the newborn to the 20-year-old, but he didn’t know where to start. We examined his setup and got three years of tax returns filed within six weeks. He now takes credit cards, has life insurance, and just bought a house. We even set him up with a living trust so he knows his wife and kids will be set if something happens to him.
