    Rosemary Docian, MA, EA, NIC, has been a freelance American Sign Language interpreter since 2011. In 2017, she co-authored The Interpreter’s Quick Guide to Self-Employment, a practical resource now used by Interpreter Training Programs across the country and available on Amazon.

    Following the book’s release, Rosemary began leading workshops nationwide, including at the 2019 RID National Conference. Her growing commitment to supporting interpreters led her to become an IRS Enrolled Agent and co-found Quick Guide Tax, a firm dedicated to providing personalized tax services to interpreters and other self-employment professionals.

  • Financial Advisor (Investment Advisor Representative) & Business Advisor

    Brent Bocian, MA, NIC, SC:L, has been a freelance American Sign Language interpreter for over a decade. In 2017, he co-authored The Interpreter’s Quick Guide to Self-Employment, a widely used resource adopted by Interpreter Training Programs across the country and available on Amazon.

    Motivated by the growing demand for financial guidance within the interpreting community, Brent co-founded Quick Guide Tax and became a licensed financial advisor (investment advisor representative). His goal: empower interpreters and other self-employed professionals with practical financial tools and clear, personalized support.

Our Story

Brent and Rosemary Bocian began their careers as full-time freelance American Sign Language interpreters, navigating the unique challenges of self-employment firsthand. Like many in the interpreting community, they found themselves trying to understand the complexities of taxes, finances, and business management resources that were often hard to find or not tailored to their profession.

Driven by curiosity and a desire to take control of their financial lives, they dove into learning everything they could about self-employment and taxes. As they gained knowledge, they naturally began sharing it with their colleagues. Rosemary soon started teaching workshops for interpreters across the country, helping others make sense of the financial side of freelancing.

Their passion for empowering others led to the publication of their book, The Interpreter's Quick Guide to Self-Employment, which is now used in interpreter training programs nationwide. As the book gained traction, interpreters began reaching out for one-on-one support-particularly during tax season.

Recognizing the growing need, Rosemary became an Enrolled Agent, licensed by the IRS to represent taxpayers, and Brent became a Financial Advisor. Together, they founded Quick Guide Tax, a firm built specifically to serve the interpreting community with expert tax and financial services.

Today, Quick Guide Tax proudly supports not only interpreters but also freelancers and small business owners across all industries-continuing Brent and Rosemary's mission to demystify taxes and finances, and empower self-employed professionals to thrive.
