  • LL.M. in Taxation and J.D. from a public law school.
  • Frequent presenter to accounting groups on entity selection.
  • Former chair of a local bar association tax section committee.

Clients on working with Theo

“I went into the first consultation expecting a sales pitch. Instead I left with a written list of what our studio needed to fix, ranked by urgency, and a flat quote for doing the work. We tackled the first three items that month, and the rest over the following quarter, without a single surprise on an invoice.”
