My Story
I have not only been a colleague, but also a tax preparer with a specialty in the Arts & Entertainment Industry. I began working as a child performing odd jobs in my mother's tax office, working my way from "Office Cleaning Lady" at 10 years old to typing and packaging finished returns by age 14. I worked in my mom's office every Tax Season, even during 5 years living in Italy, until with home obligations the yearly commute from Washington to Massachusetts for several months became too difficult. It was then in 2000 that I found employment as a Preparer in an office here in Washington State under an Enrolled Agent with 30+ years experience. I had a great opportunity in that office to handle a plethora of tax situations and took on every challenging return I could.
In 2002, I decided to strike it on my own and start my own tax business. I found that I had a talent with business returns and especially enjoyed the challenge that writers, entertainers, artists and musicians presented me. I have to say that the return of an Independent Film Director was what made me decide to carve out a specialty in Arts and Entertainment. I too am a creative-type, and am able to look at a return from different paradigms which makes me just the right preparer for many individuals and small businesses alike.
International situations happily accepted!
I have traveled to over 24 countries and have lived in Italy, Peru and Tunisia. I have clients who are US citizens, resident aliens and non-resident aliens all over Europe, Asia, South America and Canada. They are self-employed Sole Proprietors, Corporations and Foreign-Owned US Corporations.
I also have an MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and I have homeschooled two sons for 17yrs into adulthood. So, my teaching experience with multiple types of personalities and backgrounds is vast.
