Fortunately, the CPA at the escrow company he was employed with, shared her experience as an accountant during such a volatile time. This ignited a spark in Joel, he began talking with other CPAs which only further increased his interest in the accounting industry. Four years later, Joel officially graduated from California State University, Bakersfield with a business degree and a concentration in accounting. Starting his tax and accounting firm was step one to the massive success he has achieved today. Like many small business owners, Joel was juggling all aspects of the business alone.

He has a passion for helping business owners maximize their profits by reducing their taxes. His firm has clients all over the United States which he meets with virtually on a regular basis to ensure he is doing everything he can by being proactive.
