Don Robinson Hollingsworth,
Owner, CPA
I hold a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license in NYS along with a Master’s degree in Taxation from the University of Texas at Austin. I worked with Ernst & Young (E&Y) Accounting firm in the Dallas, Washington, D.C. and New York City offices 4+ years to complete the work requirements to obtain my CPA license; in addition to gaining invaluable work experience in the areas of audit and complicated tax issues. I left E&Y to pursue an Acting Career while starting my solo tax practice that began by catering to the Creative Community in the NYC area. As a CPA who has chosen to specialize my training through a master’s degree in taxation, with international Accounting firm experience and with the rigorous continuing education requirements required to maintain my CPA license, I feel that I am uniquely qualified for all my client’s needs for tax filings and planning.
Great service begins with great people and real experience which is why we put so much into choosing
the best people to join our team! We aim to not only meet your needs, but also to exceed your expectations!

Sarah Pezzino, CFP®
Tax Preparer
Sarah’s interest in taxes began at a young age. Her grandfather was an accountant and started to shift the tax preparation responsibility of the family to her. She decided to continue on in his footsteps by majoring in accounting and finance at Rutgers Business School. It was there she found an additional love of financial planning. She started her career at a fee-only Registered Investment Advisory firm in NYC. She spent four years there working with clients, continuing to be involved with tax preparation for their high-net worth clients. While there she attained her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation. She is familiar with applying her tax knowledge to financial planning strategies.
When Sarah’s not doing taxes, you can find her roaming around the world - she enjoys immersing herself in other cultures.
