Real tax strategy for people who earn differently.
I'm Josh Pickett — an Enrolled Agent and systems engineer. I build tax strategy for traders, crypto investors, expats, and business owners, prepare the complex returns generic software fumbles, and step in with the IRS when there's a problem. One person, start to finish.
Strategy first — across business, markets, and borders.
Your entity should earn its keep
An S-corp election, the reasonable-comp line, the QBI deduction, an owner's retirement plan — decisions made before the year closes, not line items filled in after. I handle the strategy and the complex return together, so the two actually agree.
Tax strategy & returns →I trade — so I understand yours
Trader tax status, mark-to-market, wash-sale disallowances across brokers, crypto basis across wallets. I build trading systems myself, so I speak this natively.
Traders & crypto →One American abroad, two tax systems
Your local accountant handles the country you live in. The US side — worldwide income, exclusion vs. credit, PFIC exposure on foreign funds, FBAR and FATCA — runs on its own rules with its own traps. I handle that side, year-round.
Expat tax →Let's find the strategy that fits you.
Tell me how you earn and where you're headed in twenty minutes. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and point you to who is.
