Certified Public Accountant · Austin, Texas
I work with real estate investors, closely held businesses, and individuals who need a trusted CPA — not a tax factory. Compliance, planning, and strategy handled with care.

My work centers on three things: keeping clients compliant, reducing their tax burden through proactive planning, and helping them make sound decisions about structure and strategy.
Individuals, partnerships, S-corps, C-corps, and trusts — prepared accurately and reviewed with you before filing.

You work with me, not a rotating staff of preparers. When you have a question, I'm the one who answers it.
Real estate fluency
Depreciation, passive activity rules, 1031 exchanges, cost segregation — this is core to my practice, not an afterthought.
Planning that happens before year-end
Most tax savings require decisions made during the year. I work with clients proactively, not just at filing time.
Selective client base
I keep my practice intentionally small so every engagement gets the attention it deserves.
"The right CPA doesn't just file your taxes — they help you understand your financial picture well enough to make better decisions throughout the year."
