Working with a remote bookkeeper
How your information stays safe
You'd be trusting your books and tax information to someone you haven't met yet. Here is exactly how that works with me.
Remote from Dhaka, on U.S. hours
I live and work in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and work only with U.S. clients, during your business hours: Eastern 8 AM to 2 PM and 7 PM to 11 PM, Central 7 AM to 1 PM and 6 PM to 10 PM, Mountain 7 AM to 12 PM and 5 PM to 9 PM, Pacific 7 AM to 11 AM and 4 PM to 9 PM (standard time; one hour later during daylight saving time).
I never ask for your passwords
Not for your bank, not for QuickBooks. You invite me as an accountant user, and you can remove me any time.
Documents go through a secure portal
Your files come through my secure client portal, with your own login. Never email attachments, and never stored on this website.
Two-step login on every account
Every account I use for client work has two-step login turned on.
A written engagement letter first
You get a written engagement letter before any paid work. An NDA is available on request.
Month to month
No long contract. You can cancel any time.
A real person you can reach
A U.S. phone number, (210) 796-8679, plus WhatsApp. And you can see me on a video call before you decide anything.
Experience you can check
6+ years of U.S. tax work. QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and Gusto Payroll Advisor.
I'm a U.S. tax preparer and bookkeeper, not a CPA or enrolled agent, and I don't promise savings, refunds or audit outcomes. What I am, and what I am not.
Who I help
U.S. small businesses that want their numbers right, all year
My clients run restaurants, medical practices, construction and trade businesses, consulting and service companies, and rental properties. Some are sole owners, some are S-corps, partnerships, C-corps or nonprofits.
My specialty is short-term and long-term rental owners, especially Airbnb and VRBO hosts who run their rentals through an S-corp, often next to a W-2 job. If that's you, start with short-term rental bookkeeping or the S-Corp Savings Audit.
Questions clients bring me
"My books are months behind. Where do I even start?"
We catch up oldest month first, reconcile every account, and get you to a file you can trust and a return you can sign.
"Is my S-corp actually saving me money?"
Many owners formed an S-corp on advice and never checked whether salary, payroll and reimbursements were set up to make it worth it.
"Who can prepare all my returns, business and personal?"
I prepare individual, partnership, S-corp, C-corp and nonprofit returns, from books that match, so nothing falls between them.
"Can my Airbnb loss offset my W-2 income?"
Not automatically. Your average guest stay and your hours decide it. Read how the two tests work.

Meet Taz
A teacher, not a salesman
I've prepared U.S. returns for more than six years, first for U.S. bookkeeping and tax firms, now for my own clients. I work remotely from Dhaka, Bangladesh, with U.S. clients only. I'm not a CPA or enrolled agent, and I can't represent you in an IRS audit. I tell you that up front, and I tell you where my work ends.
