Big firm training.
Small business perspective.
Most accountants help you file a tax return. Andy helps clients understand the story behind the numbers — and make better decisions all year, not just in April.
A letter from the founder
The path behind the practice.
Andrew "Andy" Pham, CPA, combines experience from public accounting, federal tax administration, internal audit, and business operations to help individuals and business owners make informed financial decisions throughout the year — not just during tax season.
Andy began his career in internal audit, helping organizations strengthen controls, reduce risk, and improve financial processes. He later joined PwC, where he specialized in partnership taxation, closely held businesses, multistate tax matters, and merger and acquisition transactions — advising business owners, professional service firms, and complex operating partnerships navigating growth and increasingly sophisticated tax challenges.
He went on to serve as a Revenue Agent in the IRS Large Business & International Division's Cross Border Activities Practice, gaining firsthand insight into how tax laws are interpreted, examined, and enforced across jurisdictions. Working inside one of the world's largest tax authorities gave him a rare perspective on compliance, risk, and the global application of complex law.
Today, Andy works directly with individuals, entrepreneurs, investors, and growing businesses who want more than a once-a-year tax preparer. His clients value proactive planning, practical advice, and a trusted advisor who can translate complex financial matters into clear, actionable steps.
Born and raised in Quincy, Massachusetts, Andy believes the best advisors pair technical expertise with a genuine commitment to seeing their clients succeed.

How we work
Six rules we don't break.
Read every line
Every return, every time. No skimming, no autopilot.
Pick up the phone
Clients get a human in the same week — not a ticket queue.
Defensible, not aggressive
We don't take positions we can't justify under audit.
Quoted up front
Scope and price agreed before any work begins. No surprise invoices.
Year-round, not just April
Email questions get answered any month — that's the job.
Treated like our own
If we wouldn't sign it for ourselves, we won't file it for you.
What clients say
In their words.
Andrew caught $4k in basis errors my previous CPA missed for three years running. First time I've felt like someone was actually on my side.
Five exchanges, two wallets, complete mess. He turned it into a clean 8949 and a refund. Worth every dollar.
