I am a CPA with years of experience in the taxation field.  I have successfully serviced clients with complex tax situations and resolved their daunting issues with IRS. 

 

I have a background in auditing that spans more than a decade in China. As an auditor, I developed a keen eye for detail and long-term planning.  I take great care to ensure my client's tax documents are completed accurately and efficiently. My experience in auditing has given me a unique perspective on financial and tax-related matters, and a deep understanding of the nuances involved especially international taxes. 

 

Taxes and tax laws can be overwhelming for many.  I strive to make them simpler for my clients and advice them on the most efficient way to handle their situation.
