has been a tax and financial advisor and educator for 25 years. She spent the first five years of her career at Ernst & Young and PwC, where she worked with corporate executives and high-net-worth individuals on their taxes and financial planning and saw the value individualized, judgment-free support in these areas offered.
Lisa brought that value-focused approach to her own practice which she started in 2003. Instead of being a volume tax preparer, Lisa takes on a limited client load so she can be available throughout the year to answer questions, do planning, and help her clients become comfortable and confident about taxes and money.
Lisa works with individuals of all income levels and organizations of all sizes and loves being their "advisor on speed dial" so they can get the information they need to feel prepared and empowered to make decisions that work for where they want to go.
