Small Business Tax Support

Running a business means wearing a lot of hats—your taxes shouldn’t be the one that keeps you up at night. We help freelancers, self-employed folks, and small business owners keep their quarterly payments on track, find deductions they didn’t know they had, and prep for tax season without the guesswork.

RSUs & Tech Income

Stock options and RSUs might be great compensation—but they can be a mess come tax time. We help Bay Area tech workers understand how and when their equity is taxed, and plan ahead so they don’t end up with an unexpected bill. If you’ve got questions about vesting schedules or tax withholding, we’ve got answers.

Out-of-State & Multi-State Filings
