About

As an experienced bookkeeper and tax preparer with over two decades of experience, I have built a successful practice in Newark, CA, where I serve individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations in all areas of tax compliance and bookkeeping. I am a registered tax preparer with the California Tax Education Council and an active member of the California Society of Enrolled Agents. My expertise lies in helping small businesses improve their efficiency and effectiveness by managing their bookkeeping and tax information. I specialize in small business taxes, QuickBooks, and ensuring compliance with both federal and state tax laws. Throughout my career, I have consistently provided accurate and secure tax preparation services, while also managing critical bookkeeping functions such as payroll, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. At Liberty Tax Service, I have taken on supervisory roles during peak seasons, organized office functions, and prepared detailed tax forms for various entities. My mission is to offer my clients peace of mind by delivering comprehensive services that enhance their financial management and compliance.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with.

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly.”
