Hi! I’m Sahara. I'm a CPA located in Big Bear Lake, offering tax and accounting services to individuals and small businesses. Since 2017 I've been helping people make sense of their taxes. After working for Baker Tilly as an accountant, and then Intuit as a tax software developer, I started my own practice to offer friendly, down-to-earth tax prep to my clients. 

Some things to know about my services: 

• No corporate jargon here - or making things sound more complicated than they are. I only do real conversations. 

• I'm very passionate about what I do - and want to hear about your business passions too (or aspiring business!)

• Before starting my career in tax, I worked in property management in Big Bear. I love to chat real estate - especially how to keep those books clean!

Regardless of your political stance, we have some major tax changes underway for your 2025 tax return. 

• The money you made in tips or overtime is tax free! up to a certain amount*

• You can deduct a portion of your new car loan to get that tax bill down*

• Bonus depreciation is back in full force! Business owners can get busy investing in their equipment.*

Always remember, social media is never a source of truth for tax or financial guidance. Both AI AND humans publish misleading information. Always check the facts (or hire an accountant!) The only root source to get your tax info is at the IRS or state websites.

*Tips and OT deduction up to a certain threshold based on filing status. Car loan must meet certain requirements (purchased after 12/31/24). Bonus depreciation applies to qualifying assets.
