I've had three passions since I was a kid: learning languages, fast cars, and competing in the greatest sport on the planet: business.

I grew up in a big Italian family full of business owners. Business was the topic of every dinner and I learned quickly that accounting was the "language of small business."

All of your time, effort, and risk-taking to earn profits ended up on a tax return at year end. Ignore accounting? Do so at your own peril.

When I ran my own side hustles, I dove deep into the American tax code. I wanted to find every write off, deduction, and wealth building strategy I could so I kept the money I traded my time for. 

Pretty soon my friends realized I was sort of weird and actually enjoyed preparing taxes...but could I help prepare theirs?

Word spread and my tax and accounting business grew organically.

Now, I'm blessed to help entrepreneurs and employees build wealth while they create value for society.

I can't think of a more critical role to play in someone's life than making sure they keep the money they sacrificed their time and labor to earn.

All these years later and I'm still a tax nerd at heart.
