That's why I started Reliable Tax & Business Services.

I’m Sheila, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP® ), who has been serving business owners & individuals since 1995. I’ve filed thousands of returns and led hundreds of individuals to better tax strategies and meeting their financial goals.


I don’t just look at numbers—I look at your whole financial picture. My approach is based on providing highly individualized services to all clients.  Whether we are seeing each other once a year for tax preparation, meeting monthly or quarterly to discuss your business and tax strategy, or working on a financial plan to achieve your long term goals....the intent is to provide a truly personalized experience.
