Why It Matters

A Tax Pro Who Actually Understands Your World

I spent five years as a classroom teacher in Orange County before transitioning into tax and financial services. I know what a teacher's paycheck looks like, what CalSTRS means for your retirement, and why generic tax advice often misses the mark for educators.

Educator Deductions Maximized
Educator expense deductions, union dues, credential renewals — I know the full tax picture unique to California teachers and school employees, and I make sure you don't leave money on the table.
Better Service Than the Big Box Offices
The big box tax offices don't know your district, your contract, or your CalSTRS benefit. I do. And unlike them, I'm available year-round — not just in April.
Honest Pricing, No Surprises
Upfront pricing with no hidden fees or upsells. You'll know exactly what your return costs before we start — and it will be competitive with or better than what you're paying now.
"Most tax preparers don't know what a teacher's paycheck looks like, what CalSTRS means, or how the school year shapes your financial life. I do — because I lived it."

— Bryan Schurter, former OC educator, tax advisor since 2004
