What I'm looking for

I’m looking to deliver accurate tax returns and compliant sales-tax and multi-state filings while strengthening client trust through effective problem-solving and communication, and continuously improving workflow efficiency with a collaborative team.

I’m a dedicated tax preparer with extensive experience in tax compliance and client relationship management. I’m skilled in using accounting software to prepare accurate tax returns, with a strong focus on meticulous document review and clear communication.

In my recent role, I prepared and reviewed tax returns for individuals, partnerships, corporations, and trusts. I reviewed client documents for accuracy before filing, addressed tax-related client inquiries, and collaborated with my team to streamline tax preparation workflows while ensuring sales tax management and overall compliance.

Earlier experience includes preparing individual and business tax returns, verifying documents for accuracy and completeness, and supporting clients through tax-related questions during the filing process. I also handled bookkeeping tasks such as categorization of records, reconciliation procedures, and monthly bank reconciliations, and I maintain a current PTIN.
