Who this is For? 

Built for financial lives that have outgrown annual filing.

Our clients typically arrive when a liquidity event, compensation change, business decision, or IRS matter makes the cost of reactive tax work too high to ignore.

Tech executives & operators
 
RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, ESPP, multi-state income
$500K+ household income. Compensation events with long-term consequences if handled in isolation.
Business owners & founders
 
LLCs, S-Corps, partnerships, closely held companies
Personal and business tax lives that cannot be separated. Entity structure, compensation design, quarterly planning.
Advisor-referred households
 
Tax partner for wealth advisors, attorneys & CFOs
A coordinated tax lead who can handle planning, return execution, and IRS-facing work alongside your existing advisors.
Not a fit for
  • Straightforward W-2 filers with no planning complexity
  • Clients seeking only seasonal filing without year-round advisory
  • Those who need a large-firm bench over a direct advisor relationship

How we’re different

More strategic than a preparer. More execution-focused than a wealth advisor. More personal than a large CPA platform.

Planning, preparation, and IRS representation under one roof
 
No handoffs between your tax planner and your tax preparer. No gaps in coordination when an IRS matter surfaces.

Your entire tax journey happens right in your secure Tax portal. We handle the integration to make filing simple and easy.

Direct access to your advisor — not a staffed platform
 
Founder-led judgment. You work directly with Lakshmi Ramkumar, EA, not a rotating associate team, means you get top-tier expertise so you can be confident your taxes are done right.
A modern, low-friction client experience
 
Secure document portal, virtual consultations, and a process that handles complex returns without complexity on your side, uses advanced security measures, so you can feel confident that your personal and financial information is protected.
