@garyallgood
I’m a disciplined tax preparer focused on financial accuracy and secure handling of sensitive data.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly disciplined professional with over 6 years of experience in financial data management, team leadership, and security operations. I specialize in industry-standard data privacy protocols that help ensure data accuracy and security when handling sensitive financial information.
As a Remote/Self-Employed Independent / Professional Tax Preparer (2020–Present), I accurately prepare and file federal and state tax returns for individuals and businesses while ensuring 100% compliance with tax laws. I manage highly sensitive financial data and PII with zero security breaches, and I conduct detailed financial audits of client records to identify credits and deductions while maintaining meticulous digital files.
I also bring a strong compliance mindset from my security background. In roles such as Security Officer and U.S. Army National Guard (PFC / 13B), I executed procedures under high-pressure conditions, strictly adhered to military SOPs, and ensured zero-errormission execution—while maintaining detailed daily activity logs with 100% accuracy in reporting.
In fast-paced customer-facing environments, I lead teams and resolve complex issues with clear communication and critical thinking. As a Shift Leader, I managed 10–15 personnel per shift, resolved customer complaints immediately, and supported accurate inventory data entry and shift reporting—bringing the same focus on confidentiality, SOP adherence, and time management to every engagement.
