Talking Taxes with CPA Natalie Elser
Who does your taxes? Perhaps you're just fine doing the Turbo Tax thing, but as your portfolio grows so does the confusion... and that's when it's time to seek advice from a tax professional like Natalie Elser, Certified Public Accountant and President of California Professional Accountants.
(Because, as much as we'd like to believe otherwise, the IRS doesn't honor ignorance as a valid exemption and an audit sounds like a complete nightmare.)
Based in Irvine, what we really like about Natalie is that she knows what's up with the times. She listens to gangster rap in her office, she always has the most stylish outfits, and she's easy to talk to. You're not going to be stuck in a stuffy office with an out-of-touch guy spewing big accounting words.
Natalie is someone who is going to make you really understand what's going on behind the scenes. She really cares about her clients, will be on the lookout for deductions that will actually help you, and she'll make sure your finances are in order for the future. In a nutshell, she's someone you can trust — and that's very important when your precious pennies are involved.
We talked with Natalie about her journey to becoming President of her own accounting firm, what she's learned along the way, and — lucky for you — she even snuck in a few tax tips.
