Jeffrey Stein
@jeffreystein
CPA tax advisor specializing in HNW planning, IRS resolution, and multi-entity strategy.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CPA with 10+ years across complex tax planning, IRS resolution, and full-cycle business management for high-net-worth individuals, entertainers, and private clients. I combine technical depth in multi-entity and pass-through taxation with the discretion and judgment these clients require, owning both the books and the tax strategy that sits on top of them.
I’m a trusted advisor who leads client relationships end to end—running calls, delivering reporting, fielding hard questions, and turning high-stakes, sensitive situations into clean, defensible outcomes. From filing back returns and responding to notices to securing release of bank levies and representing clients directly before the IRS, I also design privacy-oriented and asset-protection structures using trusts and entities, supported by proprietary client-ready tax-planning models.
