About

Hi, I'm Colin.

Taxes, accounting, and bookkeeping don't have to be complicated. I help business owners and individuals understand how their taxes connect to the rest of the financial picture, not just what goes on which line of a return.

I've built this practice around a focused client list, utilizing modern technology, and staying reachable year-round. When you work with me, you're getting someone who knows your situation and answers when it matters.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Sierra, and daughter, Mae. When I'm not with them, you'll usually find me working in the yard, at the golf course, or on a long run.

Getting started

How we work together

A clear path from first contact to an ongoing partnership — no guesswork about what happens next.

Step 01

Intake & intro call

Answer a few quick questions online — under five minutes — so I understand your situation before we talk. If we're aligned, you'll book a 30-minute intro call to walk through your needs and the right level of service.

Step 02

Get set up securely

Onboarding runs through my encrypted client portal. Documents, requests, and signatures all live in one place, so nothing sensitive travels over email and nothing gets lost in a thread.

Step 03

Ongoing partnership

We stay in touch year-round, not just at filing time — proactive planning ahead of big decisions, straight answers when questions come up, and no surprises at the deadline.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

The things most people want to know before reaching out.

How are you different from other CPAs?

I keep a small client list, so you work with me directly and get real answers quickly. I'm also an advisor first. Accurate filing is the baseline, not the value.

What does it cost?

Advisory and consultations are $200/hour. Individual returns start at $500. Business returns (S-Corps and Partnerships) start at $2,000, plus a required $300 bookkeeping cleanup fee. Bookkeeping starts at $300/month or $600/quarter.

Those are minimums. Final pricing depends on complexity, and you'll always have the number before work starts.

What happens on the intro call?

Thirty minutes to talk through your situation and decide whether I'm the right fit. You'll complete a short intake first, so we spend the call on substance instead of basics.

Who do you work with?

Individuals and small to medium businesses, most often S-Corps and Partnerships. People who want a CPA year-round, not just in April.

Do you work with clients outside your state?

Yes. I work with clients nationwide. Everything runs remotely through a secure portal and scheduled calls, so where you're located doesn't change the level of service.

Can I upload documents online?

Yes. Documents, requests, and e-signatures all live in one encrypted client portal. Nothing sensitive travels over email.

What do you need from me to get started?

Just the intake form. Before our call, send your most recent tax return. It tells me more in five minutes than an hour of questions would.

Are you available outside of tax season?

Yes. The decisions that change your tax outcome happen during the year, not in April.

Are you taking on new clients?

Selectively. Availability is tightest during busy season. Submit the intake form and I'll tell you where things stand.

Get in touch

Let's talk.

Whether it's tax season, a one-off question, or ongoing support, I'd be glad to help. Start with a few quick questions and, if we're a fit, book a 30-minute intro call.
