Our Story

To put it simply, I work with a lot of business owners. No matter the nature or size of the business, the most common complaint I get is around taxation. Thankfully, taxation is one of the most controllable aspects of somebody’s finances. It’s all just a matter of “if you do this… then you get this.” That’s not the case in financial planning… or for many other things in life.

The standard operating procedure for most accountants and CPAs is rear looking. “Here’s what your taxes were last year, pay this amount, etc.” and then they rinse, repeat, and limit their scope to the past.

In 2021, I decided it was time to disrupt the status quo. I said, “Let’s start a tax firm that focuses on looking forward and not backward. Because you can explain what’s already happened, but how do you fix it? Or better yet, how do you improve upon it?”

That was the impetus for creating TreMonte Tax.

I’m a family man, as you can see. Along with my wife, Jen (an elementary schoolteacher), we have three daughters which make my life about as big an adventure as yours is. So I get it when you come to me with questions about how to plan for a secure financial future.

I started this company because I want to change the way financial services are delivered – and that’s why you don’t see a picture of me in a suit.

I am an adventure seeker. My husband and I are building a life where we vacation to explore, not just escape.

I’ve been with TreMonte since 2019. I am a big proponent of financial stewardship and cultivating your own financial intelligence. To me, that begins with a healthy understanding of your income and expenses + knowing exactly where your money is going. You will often hear me jabbering on about YNAB while enjoying a cup of tea.
