My experience

Before starting my own practice, I worked in CPA firms helping prepare both simple and complicated individual tax returns. I'm an experienced tax preparer. Today my practice focuses on individual returns, including Schedule C for self-employed people and small business owners.

How I work

Taxes feel overwhelming when no one explains them. I take time to understand your situation, ask the right questions, and explain your return in plain language. My goal is an accurate return that claims everything you're legitimately entitled to — and an answer to the questions you didn't know to ask.

I'm based in the San Fernando Valley and work with individuals, families, self-employed people and small business owners throughout Los Angeles.

Languages

I speak English, Armenian and Arabic, so we can talk through your taxes in the language you're most comfortable with. Federal and California returns are filed in English.

Outside the office

In my free time I love spending time with my twin boys and my husband, traveling, and learning about new countries.
