Tax Prep & Advisory Services

Calmer days. Bigger dreams.

An oasis of oceanic peace for a brighter tomorrow

Whether you're facing a surprise IRS notice, a tax bill that keeps growing, or settling a loved one's estate, you'll get a steady, personal partner who plans ahead with you.

  • Less Stress
  • More Living
  • You Belong Here

Serving Washington, California & US–Canada clients. In-person and remote.

Sound familiar? You're in the right place.

  • "I need my taxes done right."

    Accurate, on-time preparation for individuals, rentals, S corps, partnerships, and estates.

  • "I got a letter from the IRS."

    Notices are stressful. I'll read it, explain it in plain language, and handle the response.

  • "My tax bill keeps going up."

    Proactive planning to find the savings you’re missing before the year is over, not after.

  • "My preparer retired or disappeared."

    Losing your advisor is unsettling. I'll pick up your records and get you back on track.

Services

Two things, done exceptionally well.

Tax Strategy

Plan ahead instead of paying for it later.

A year-round approach for people with steady income who want to keep more of it, and for founders building something new.

Settling an estate comes with deadlines and paperwork that can feel overwhelming. I'll guide executors and families through each step.

  • Final individual returns (Form 1040)
  • Estate & trust income returns (Form 1041)
  • Coordination with attorneys & executors
  • Planning for what comes next

Also available
