Founder & Managing Partner
Exp
6 years
Ethan started 1Tax after a decade in public accounting because he watched too many small business owners overpay year after year. As an Enrolled Agent, he represents clients before the IRS and leads every strategic engagement personally.
Specialties
Hikes a different Zion trail every weekend.
Senior Tax Strategist
Exp
3 years
Asher leads the tax planning practice. He is obsessive about finding the legitimate deductions and credits that other accountants miss, and he meets with every planning client at least quarterly so no opportunity slips by.
Specialties
Former competitive chess player.
Tax Attorney & Entity Counsel
Exp
25 years
Jim is the legal mind behind our entity work. He drafts the operating agreements, handles the LLC-to-S-Corp conversions, and steps in when a client needs counsel that goes beyond accounting, succession planning, partner buyouts, IRS notices.
Specialties
Restored a 1972 Bronco from the frame up.
Bookkeeping & Operations Lead
Exp
4 years
Siaosi runs the team that closes your books by the 10th of every month, every month. He built our reconciliation playbook, trained every junior bookkeeper on the team, and is the reason monthly reports show up like clockwork.
Specialties
Bakes a fresh sourdough loaf every Sunday.
When we hire, when we build a workflow, when we sit down with a client, we measure ourselves against these.
We tell you what to do in March, not in April. Tax planning happens year-round so April is just paperwork.
Every recommendation gets weighed against one question: does this help the owner keep more of what they earn?
We live and work here. We know the local industries, the seasonal cash flows, and the people behind the businesses.
No jargon. No surprise bills. No quarterly mystery. You always know what we are working on and what it costs.
