The Journey: How We Got Here

Getting to where I am today has been a journey filled with passion, perseverance, and purpose. When I started in the tax industry, I saw firsthand the lack of accessible, high-quality education and mentorship for tax professionals who wanted to build beyond seasonal tax preparation. Many struggled with understanding compliance, growing their businesses, and securing long-term financial success.

That’s where The Tax Curative Institute was born—from a deep desire to fill that gap and provide tax professionals with the education, resources, and mentorship they need to build thriving, profitable firms.

Overcoming Challenges & Lessons Learned

Success didn’t come overnight. The journey has required hard work, adaptability, and resilience. Some of the biggest challenges I faced were:

🚧 Breaking industry norms – Many tax professionals are taught to focus only on tax prep. I had to shift mindsets and educate professionals on wealth-building strategies, compliance, and the importance of scaling their businesses.

🚧 Building a brand in a competitive industry – Establishing credibility and standing out required showing up consistently, providing value, and building a reputation based on integrity and results.

🚧 Overcoming resistance to change – Many tax professionals are afraid to step outside their comfort zones. Helping them transition from preparers to true tax strategists and business owners has required patience, education, and a strong support system.

TCI is not just about education—it’s about transformation. We help tax professionals break free from limitations, build profitable businesses, and create legacies.

Shoutout to My Support System: The Pillars Behind My Success

Success is never a solo journey. It is built on the foundation of mentorship, support, and unwavering faith, and I am deeply grateful to those who have contributed to my growth and success.

My Family: My First Support System

I have to start by giving honor and gratitude to my family. Their love, encouragement, and belief in my vision have been the driving force behind my persistence. They’ve celebrated my wins, lifted me during challenges, and given me the strength to keep pushing forward.

My Mentors and Coaches: The Architects of My Growth

Their guidance has played a pivotal role in positioning me as a leader in tax strategy and business development.
