Born in San Francisco and raised on the peninsula,
Deb’s 1st career out of school was in government security.
She climbed the corporate ladder to the uppermost rungs within her department when she was asked to manage the entire Corporate Security Program including the “Vaulted” area and learning how to armour limosines.
Next, Deb went back to school to finish a degree in Finance and took a job with Syntex Pharmaceuticals in Palo Alto. Again, she went from Administrative Assistant to the Finance Director to Financial Analyst in the Treasury Department. She left after 5 years, traveled, and then went into Real Estate sales for Grubb and Ellis in Los Altos for 5 years.
Deb finally fell into taxes as a part time job when she had her one and only child in January, 1998. She went to H&R Block Tax School and started work in January, 1999. Deb has stayed in taxes ever since working for H&R while getting her Enrolled Agent Certification (EA) from the IRS, she then moved on to a Denver CPA firm (boring again), and a high end tax boutique in Cherry Creek Denver preparing taxes for everyone from hookers to Broncos.
In 2016, Deb “hung her shingle” at a cottage on Colfax Avenue where she had a tax office in the front half and in 2018, she moved her tax office 2 doors down the street to 312 Colfax Avenue where she now has a practice offering not only tax preparation, but IRS Resolution services as well.
She has the help of an administrative assistant, another EA, and a CTEC (California Certified). In the 2.5 years her shingle has been swinging, her business has grown from 60 returns the first season, approximately 120 returns the second season, and over 250 so far this calendar year, not to mention exponential growth in the Tax Resolution business.
