Tax Professional and owner helping individuals and small businesses file accurately and confidently.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I run TLG Consulting Group in Baton Rouge, preparing and reviewing individual and small business tax returns in line with federal, state, and local regulations. I also advise on deductions, credits, compliance issues, and I help clients resolve IRS correspondence, audits, and discrepancies.
Beyond tax work, I’ve supported people in recovery through peer coaching and person-centered peer support at Baton Rouge Comprehensive Treatment Center. I facilitate recovery groups, help clients set recovery goals and wellness strategies, and advocate with service providers while keeping case notes confidential and HIPAA-aligned.
I’ve also worked as a Resource Specialist and Disaster Case Manager, assessing needs and coordinating access to resources, funding, accommodations, and recovery supports. I build individualized plans, maintain case records, and follow up with internal departments and external agencies to improve access and continuity.
Earlier, I handled patient accounts, insurance claims, and claims coordination across roles like Insurance Clerk, Claims Processor, COB Processor, Special Claims Processor, and Federal Advisor—verifying eligibility, submitting authorizations/prior requests, and resolving denials while maintaining HIPAA compliance.
