QUICK GUIDE TAX
ABOUT
Our Story
Quick Guide Tax began with our own journey as freelance ASL interpreters navigating our taxes, finances and business practices. After some unfortunate experiences with tax and financial professionals unfamiliar with our field, we began educating ourselves. After reading many books and attending webinars/conferences on self-employment, taxes, finances and business practices, we were eager to share our new knowledge with interpreting colleagues.
When we saw how well received the information was by the community, we decided to share it nation-wide by writing our book "The Interpreter's Quick Guide to Self-Employment" in 2017. By 2018, our book was required by several ITPs and we began teaching workshops on the content.
Then something interesting happened. Workshop attendees began asking us for referrals to a trusted tax/finance service. We started to see that many interpreters, just like us, struggled finding tax professionals who truly understood our field.
We thought, who understands the profession better than fellow interpreters? And just like that, Quick Guide Tax was born. In 2019 we became a team; Tax Preparer (EA) & Dave Ramsey Financial Coach. Our goal is to offer fellow interpreters a stress-free and supportive tax filing experience. As two freelancers who know how it feels to be on the receiving end of these services, we aim to create a personalized experience for our clients by truly caring about your unique long-term and short-term goals.
