Chicola CPA
(JC CPA)
Ten years specializing in providing comprehensive tax preparation services for small businesses and self-employed individuals, including those with rental properties. With extensive experience navigating complex tax regulations, I ensure my clients maximize their deductions, stay compliant, and receive personalized guidance tailored to their unique financial situations.
​
With a wealth of experience gained from working with the IRS, PwC, and various national CPA firms, I have developed a deep understanding of tax preparation, tax planning strategies, and financial management.
Over the years, I have handled numerous client accounts, managing their books from inception to completion and ensuring accurate tax filings. In 2015, I decided to channel this expertise into my own practice, where I now specialize in helping both individuals and businesses rectify complex financial issues created by previous accountants. My clients greatly value my comprehensive knowledge of IRS protocols, and they appreciate the meticulous care I take to ensure their financial records are accurate, compliant, and optimized for legitimate tax savings. This approach not only alleviates their concerns but also ensures they achieve the lowest possible tax liability within the bounds of the law."
