Book a consultationAbout Red Door
Red Door Taxes was founded after I was taken advantage of by a lazy and unscrupulous tax preparer when I was a new business owner. The preparer explained nothing about business ownership, write-offs, business structure, or how to avoid a big tax bill at the end of the year. I was so frustrated with the experience that I enrolled in accounting classes so that I could prepare my own taxes. I have been preparing taxes professionally since 2011 and have been an enrolled agent since 2017.
