About Reid

Big-4 Trained. Solo Practice. Yours All Year, Not Just in April.

Reid earned an MS in Accounting at Stanford, spent eight years as a tax senior at Deloitte working on multi-state S-corps and founder personal returns, and went solo in 2021 to take on small engagements with the same depth she gave Fortune 500s. If you want the calm one in the room when an IRS letter shows up, that’s her.

From Big-4 Workpapers to Founder Returns

Stanford

MS Accounting

Stanford GSB ’13. Concentration in tax. Still cites her partnership-tax textbook in S-corp election calls.

2013–2017

Tax Associate, Deloitte

Four years on multi-state S-corps and partnerships in San Francisco. Learned what a clean workpaper actually looks like.

2017–2021

Tax Senior, Deloitte

Led founder-return engagements at a private-wealth-and-corporate practice. Saw both the company filing and the personal one — and learned where the seams hide.

2021

Solo CPA Practice

Passed the California CPA exam fresh, hung her own shingle, and quietly built a roster of Bay Area founders and small-business owners.

Recognition & Memberships

Reid is a member of the AICPA, the California Society of CPAs, and the Bay Area Tax Discussion Group. All work is conducted under her California license CPA #146203.

2024

CalCPA “Founder-Focused Practice” Roster

Listed by the California Society of CPAs as a recommended solo practitioner for founder and small-business engagements under $5M revenue.

2025

Clockless “Built With Care” Partner

Selected partner for Clockless’s concierge CPA program, serving founder-led companies and dual-W-2-plus-side-business households.

The Mitchell Group

A small, deliberately low-roster practice. Reid handles every client personally and is backed by a partner CPA and a specialist support bench for the slow parts.

How I Work

01
No Crunch

Nobody should be reconciling December books in April. Monthly closes, quarterly check-ins, and a calm review window are paced for the year that this actually takes.

02
Everything in One Portal

Each client gets a private dashboard with their engagement journey, returns, filings, payments, and messages — so nothing lives in a lost inbox thread.

03
Big-4 Eye for Detail

Reid reads the trial balance, the K-1 worksheet, and the IRS notice herself. You get a plain-English summary before you sign Form 8879.
