Experience and Designations
I'm an Enrolled Agent (EA), licensed by the IRS to consult on tax strategy and tax law. You may wonder why I chose an EA designation over the CPA. I became an EA because I wanted to focus on helping individuals optimize their finances with tax personalized tax strategies, rather than working for corporate entities.
I bring nearly 15 years of tax experience, with a significant portion of my career focused on working one-on-one with physicians. After learning all I could working at other White Coat Investor-affiliated tax firms, I launched my own practice to offer the higher level of personalized service that larger firms struggled to provide.
I love working directly with individuals, which is why my practice is dedicated to serving self-employed physicians and their unique financial needs–not large corporate entities. Together, we can craft a strategy that turns your financial goals into tangible realities.

We keep our fee structure simple and transparent.
With packages starting at $150/month, we provide packages based around what level of service you're looking for, with recommendations based on your prior education on tax strategies and whether we can add additional value beyond your own research.

Whether an S-Corp is a good fit for you, or if you have enough disposable income to explore strategies beyond maxing out a 401k this year, we'll teach you everything we can so you can save as much as you can.
