Burbank
Home to my office address. I work with Burbank employees, freelancers and small business owners, including people who combine W-2 work with project-based 1099 income.

Tax Preparation Across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles
My office address is in Burbank, and I work with individuals, families, freelancers and small business owners throughout Los Angeles — mostly in the San Fernando Valley. Here's what that looks like, plus a few local tax notes worth knowing.
How we can meet
We can meet by phone, by video, or in person at my Burbank office — whichever is easier for you. You can send documents securely, electronically, or drop them off in person, so you don't need to live near Burbank to work with me.
Wherever you are in Los Angeles, the tax forms are the same — the main local differences come from which city you live or do business in.
A local note: City of Los Angeles vs. separate cities
Many Valley neighborhoods — such as North Hollywood, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Van Nuys, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Reseda and Northridge — are part of the City of Los Angeles. The City of Los Angeles generally requires businesses operating in the city, including many independent contractors and home-based businesses, to obtain a Business Tax Registration Certificate from its Office of Finance. That can include self-employed people based outside the city who work inside it for seven or more days in a calendar year. Burbank and Glendale are separate cities with their own business rules, so requirements there are different. If you're self-employed and unsure what applies to you, ask me and we'll sort it out together.
Cities and neighborhoods I serve
Glendale
Just next door to Burbank. Glendale is its own city, separate from the City of Los Angeles, which matters for local business registration if you're self-employed.
North Hollywood
Part of the City of Los Angeles. Many NoHo residents are creative and freelance workers; if you're paid on 1099s, planning quarterly estimated payments can prevent a surprise bill in April.
Studio City
A City of Los Angeles neighborhood. If your income mixes W-2 jobs and freelance gigs in the same year, both need to be reported and coordinated on one return.
Sherman Oaks
A City of Los Angeles neighborhood with many professionals and small business owners — individual returns, side businesses and Schedule C filers are all welcome.
Encino
Part of the City of Los Angeles. I help families and individuals with federal and California returns, including choosing between the standard deduction and itemizing.
Van Nuys
Part of the City of Los Angeles. Sole proprietors and gig workers here can get help with Schedule C, self-employment tax and Form 1099-K income.
Toluca Lake & Valley Village
Neighborhoods close to Burbank and North Hollywood. Same services, same careful approach.
West Valley & North Valley
Including Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Reseda, Northridge and Granada Hills — I work with clients across the Valley.
Elsewhere in Los Angeles
Outside the Valley? I also work with clients across Los Angeles. Get in touch and we'll see if it's a fit.
