Strategic Tax
Year-round planning for owners, investors and high-income professionals.
CPA · CFO ADVISOR · TAX STRATEGIST · FOUNDER
Think beyond
the tax return.
Tax is where the conversation starts. Better decisions come from seeing tax, cash flow, ownership, risk and timing together — before you act.
THE IDEA
Tax is only the beginning.
For business owners and families, the expensive question is rarely “What form do I file?” It is “What should I do next?” Jeff’s work connects tax strategy with financial decisions, business operations and long-term wealth.
WHAT I WORK ON
Decisions with consequences.
CFO Advisory
Cash flow, forecasting, performance and owner-level decision support.
Real Estate & Wealth
Tax-aware coordination around property, ownership, liquidity and estate planning.
International
Cross-border and pre-immigration planning before U.S. tax exposure becomes difficult to unwind.
AI + Professional Firms
Turning static tax data into continuous intelligence and next-action signals.
CURRENT FOCUS
Before the
IRS asks.
Audit readiness should begin before the return is filed — not after a notice arrives.
Jeff’s current work explores how CPAs can identify inconsistencies, documentation gaps and risk signals earlier, then help clients improve the quality and defensibility of the return.

FOUNDER / BUILDER
AiTaxNova
What if tax data did not go quiet after filing?
AiTaxNova is being built around a simple idea: professional firms already hold trusted financial and tax data. AI can help turn that static history into continuous intelligence — surfacing risk, planning opportunities and financial needs earlier.

Ideas before deadlines.
BUSINESS OWNERS
S-Corp planning is not just about salary.
Compensation, distributions, QBI, retirement, cash flow and California tax need to be coordinated.
REAL ESTATEReview tax before the property decision.
Ownership, basis, financing and timing can change the answer materially.
INTERNATIONALThe best pre-immigration tax planning happens before U.S. residency.
Some restructuring opportunities narrow dramatically after U.S. tax residency begins.
