What work can you do?

Bookkeeping and cleanups, business and individual tax returns, and tax planning and advisory work. I analyze the tax questions we agree on in writing, using the facts you provide. As the sole practitioner, I am responsible for every engagement I accept, and I review, approve, and sign all client-facing work.

How I work

Every engagement follows the same steps: a written inquiry, a written scope, the work, your review, and your authorization before anything is filed. Once we agree on the work, the written engagement sets out how we'll stay in touch and what you'll receive. Once we work together, we exchange documents through the TaxDome portal.

How I work, step by step

What affects the price?

The condition of your records, the number of accounts and entities involved, the tax years or periods covered, and the states involved. If work is offered, the accepted written scope states the fee before work begins. Published amounts are starting points, not quotes or promises of availability.

How do I start?

Tell me what is going on through the contact form. I read each inquiry myself and do my best to reply within a week.

Scope and limits

Sending the form creates no engagement. I take on work only after reviewing the facts and records you describe in writing, and the scope, price and timing are agreed in writing before work starts. I don't monitor accounts or deadlines or send reminders.

Monaco CPA is a non-attest practice (no audit, review, or compilation engagements); published services are limited to tax preparation, planning, bookkeeping, and advisory under an accepted written scope. Work involving another state is reviewed case by case for scope and licensing.

The contact and intake forms are for a brief description only, and what you send may reach me by email as the Privacy Policy describes. Please don't send Social Security numbers, account numbers, government IDs, passwords, authentication codes, or tax documents through a form or by email. If we work together, I send written instructions for sharing documents. If we work together, your information is handled under applicable professional duties and law, our engagement, and the Privacy Policy.

The Short Version

I went to college to help people, bombed a neuroanatomy exam, and realized numbers were more my speed. After financial-analysis and accounting roles in corporate finance, I started Monaco CPA in September 2025.

Read my full story

I went to school to help people. I still do.

I started college planning to be a psychologist. I wanted to help people, that was the whole idea. Then I hit a neuroanatomy exam, completely bombed memorizing the parts of the brain, and figured the clinical route wasn't for me. Numbers were a different story. Accounting and finance just made sense, so I switched, and I spent years in corporate finance. For a while I assumed I'd traded the “helping people” thing for spreadsheets.

Turns out I hadn't. I just got there a different way.

For most people, taxes aren't really a math problem. They're a stress problem. It's the putting-it-off, the income you're not sure how to report, the IRS letter sitting unopened on the counter. I started Monaco CPA in 2025 to build the kind of practice I wanted to see: personal, easy to reach, and judgment-free. Somewhere you can bring the messy stuff and work through it in writing.

So I guess I ended up doing what I set out to do. I just did it with a spreadsheet instead of a textbook.

Judgment-free, with clear terms.

Crypto, gambling, creator income, a cash business, a few years you'd rather not think about. Bring it. I'll tell you plainly where things stand and what your options are, without judgment.
