A lifelong wealth researcher, author, educator, and financial coach, I began my study of tax as a young entrepreneur in my early 20s, moved on to the CFP® and kept pushing to the PhD level & beyond.

I’m also taking a Masters in Tax Law from Georgetown Law School – widely recognized as the best law school for tax in the world – and so far am fortunate to have a straight-A average.

I have often said that tax strategy is the master wealth skill, the one that can make the difference between “just” doing well, and getting really rich. It is somewhat ironic that it tends to be the least appreciated wealth skill, where consumers – even rich, smart, and sophisticated ones who should really know better – downplay the value of this expertise, and treat the chore of getting taxes done more like dry-cleaning than the incredibly complicated master-art it really is when practiced well. Far too many taxpayers just want to drop their taxes off and just get them “done.” Cheap. They often complain about how much tax they pay, but won’t take the trouble to seek out true masters, and some are very resistant to paying for quality advice. If that’s you, we are not a good fit. Quality, custom advice is never cheap, but is often one of the very best investments a taxpayer can make, with tax savings typically many, many times the cost of the fees, compared to the results from the cheap (sometimes not so cheap) mediocre tax “pros” they often use. Take a look at some of the case studies in the Education & FAQs section to get a sense of the tremendous returns possible with smart tax.
More than in any other profession I’ve encountered – law, medicine, engineering, whatever – I have found that true tax experts are as rare as hens’ teeth, to be so outnumbered by the legions of barely-competent, “you gotta pay your tax” software-junkie button pushers as to be nigh-impossible to find. Like financial advisors, it is very difficult for even very smart consumers to tell the difference between truly excellent tax practitioners, and those who merely smile winningly and look good in a suit, mumbling platitudes about death and taxes. This sad state, coupled with the dry-cleaning mentality of most consumers, means that vast sums of family wealth are typically lost to legitimately avoidable taxation. I mean millions on untold millions!
I emphasis all this, of course, for a reason. All kinds of taxes – income, estate, capital gains, real estate, and the dozens of others on the books or being cooked up by new laws – are the biggest expense and threat to wealth facing successful Americans. They are avoidable acid to wealth. And as Federal deficits mount, Social Security and Medicare implode, and Euro-style social welfare becomes increasingly popular, the well-off are really fixing to get soaked.
We can fix this for you. We can protect and supercharge your fortune, for you and your family and descendants. We really get excited about supercharging family wealth, and are really looking forward to getting to know you and helping you.
