About Us

Business doesn't just happen by itself. It involves people...and people are the focus of our business. 

As a child, I remember my parents going through a tax audit and the fear they felt by going through the process and the stories they had heard about the IRS coming to take everything they had worked so hard for all away. The tension that filled the air was so thick you could almost chew it. 

I never wanted to feel that or have someone I know feel that again. I set out to learn as much as possible about the "right way" to beat the IRS at their own game. I would know the rules better than they do. 

That's why I formed Paramount Tax and Accounting, LLC. So you wouldn't experience that pit in your stomach when you open the mailbox and have a letter from the IRS. You would be confident in the people that help you with your taxes, accounting and recordkeeping. You have experts in tax and finance to lean on.


In running a business, we know that systems and processes are key. They don't replace people, but they simply help our people perform better. We rely heavily on technology to drive our performance, but do not allow it to replace the human factor that our people provide.
