Whether it is borrowing an old steel frame friction shifting bike to cycle in the French alps, moving to a city far removed from family and connections, or becoming a parent to hard charging daughters; I relish taking on challenges. As the Director of Tax Strategy, I will use the same drive to assist clients with everything from the preparation of their personal and business tax returns, planning/forecasting tax events, and advising on the tax implications of investments and business transactions.
I believe to be an effective tax adviser you need to have a relationship with your client. When you understand their concerns and goals, you can better tailor your advice. Whether it is the potential exit from an investment, the analysis of a proposed investment, or planning for passing your wealth to the next generation, I love to get to know my clients and understand their perspectives.
I grew up in a family of small business owners. I understand the stress of building a lasting business or career. A trusted advisor should know you and be able to assist you in achieving your goals.
