Built for LA

We understand project-based income

So much of Los Angeles runs on projects, gigs, and 1099 crews — three great months followed by a quiet one, with contractor payments flying in every direction. That pattern is what leaves DIY books in pieces by tax season. When your books are behind, we sort the year's income and contractor payments as part of preparing your return, so the numbers on it make sense when the work was uneven.

Meet your preparer

Shaun Neal Founder

Hi, I'm Shaun Neal. For more than 30 years I've built and led the financial systems behind fintech companies, banks, and payment platforms — work where every number has to reconcile and every record has to stand up to an auditor.

My career has centered on regulated finance: payments, fraud controls, and compliance programs spanning PCI and FFIEC audits and KYC, BSA, and AML workflows. I know exactly what clean, defensible books look like — and how to build them without the enterprise price tag.

Now I bring that same discipline to tax returns for small businesses across Los Angeles County, working fully remotely. A café in Highland Park and a production studio in Culver City get returns prepared and signed by me, as a PTIN-registered tax preparer, for one all-inclusive price.
