Tax Preparer
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.

He has trained with Alan Chan, CPA and has become one of our Enrolled Agent Tax Preparers.

Seasonal Tax Preparer
Many of our qualified Seasonal Tax Preparers have their CPA and have other commitments and would rather work for the season; or are in school studying for their CPA and train with Alan Chan, CPA during our off season to prepare for the upcoming season.
Some Tax returns are completed by our Seasonal Tax Preparers, then checked by Alan, then checked again by Don before it's released to you. Rest assured, your Tax returns are in good hands!
