About CPATaxguru.com

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and MBA graduate with a concentration in Accounting from Emporia State University. With a career spanning public sector auditing, fraud investigations, and international tax advisory, I bring a unique perspective that bridges compliance, enforcement, and strategic tax planning.

In my role as a staff auditor for the NYC Comptroller's Office, I focus on ensuring transparency and accountability in government operations, with prior experience conducting fraud investigations into Medicaid provider fraud, financial exploitation, and revenue law enforcement. These experiences sharpened my ability to identify risk, evaluate controls, and enforce compliance in both public and private sectors.

Beyond government service, I serve as Managing Partner of Strategic Tax Planners LLC, where I specialize in U.S. and international taxation. My work frequently involves cross-border planning for individuals, families, and businesses with ties to Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Europe.

I have advised on complex matters including U.S.–Thailand and U.S.–Colombia taxation, UK property transactions, FIRPTA compliance, 1031 exchanges, FBAR, FATCA, and controlled foreign corporation reporting (Form 5471).

My combination of technical tax law expertise, accounting knowledge, and investigative experience allows me to deliver tailored solutions for entrepreneurs, investors, and multinational clients.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and aviation-related activities, having explored many countries across Asia and beyond. These experiences continue to broaden my global perspective and inform the international focus I bring to my practice.
