We'd rather meet you before the IRS letter shows up.
Accountable BC helps business owners get their taxes planned, their books clean and their business running on real numbers.
Eighteen years of meeting owners after the damage was done.
I took my first tax resolution call in December 2006. Since then I've had more than 5,000 conversations with people in trouble with the IRS.
Almost none of them were lazy. They were busy. Hardworking owners who got so deep into running the business that nobody was watching the books, planning the taxes or building the systems underneath. By the time they called me, the damage was done, and my job was to clean it up.
After about 18 years of meeting owners at the worst point, I wanted to get to them first. That's Accountable BC: tax strategy, a CFO watching your numbers, and the business systems that keep you out of trouble in the first place.

Founder
Most of my career has been inside growing companies, on the operating side.
- Tax resolution since 2006
Front-line consultations, then sales management, then running operations at nationwide tax resolution firms.
- Leadership through fast growth
I was on the leadership team of a nationwide tax firm that grew from $10 million to $23 million in revenue and from 40 to 65 employees. I saw firsthand what breaks when a company doubles.
- Operations at scale
Today I'm COO at a nationwide tax resolution firm, where I run sales, case management and client care. Last year that firm resolved over $30 million in client tax debt.
- Before tax
Director of operations at an online startup, and before that, a television producer.

“When I first met with Tom, I thought I was meeting with a tax lawyer. What I didn't expect was to find someone who would become my biggest advocate and, as I've jokingly told him many times, my 'tax therapist.' … He never judged me or made me feel foolish. Instead, he patiently explained every step, gave me a plan, and kept me accountable … I can honestly say Tom has changed my life.”
“Tom has been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful, especially when dealing with more complicated tax matters and challenges involving the IRS. His team is excellent as well.”
“Tom and his team are second to none. Truly incredible Hands-On excellent work they've helped me out of a few big jams. I am very fortunate to have them in my corner”
