A CPA Who Reads the Notice Before You Forward It

Before solo practice, Reid spent eight years as a tax senior at Deloitte working on multi-state S-corps and founder personal returns. That background shows up in the way she explains an IRS CP2000, tracks every open ticket in your private portal, and writes adjustments that hold up under audit.

Client Stories

“Reid walked us through our first 1120-S line by line — depreciation, officer comp, every K-1 number. We went from terrified of an audit to feeling like founders who actually owned their numbers.”
