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. Representation when you need it.
Plan ahead and keep more
Entity choice, the §475(f) election, FEIE vs. foreign tax credit, retirement and timing moves — the decisions that cut your bill before the year closes, then a complex return prepared to match.
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 →Already heard from the IRS?
A notice, an audit, back taxes, a payment plan. I read these for a living — I'll tell you what it actually means, stand in for you, and get it resolved.
IRS representation →One person who actually knows your situation.
Enrolled Agent, not a franchise
An EA is licensed by the Treasury to handle any federal tax matter for any taxpayer — planning, preparation, or representation. It's the credential built for exactly this work.
One person, start to finish
You'll never be handed to a junior preparer or a chatbot. I learn your situation, build the plan, prepare the return, sign it, and pick up when the IRS calls back.
Built on my own software
I built the document system this practice runs on. You upload what you have — photos, PDFs, a shoebox — it's read and organized, and I spend my time on strategy, not data entry.
Let's find the strategy that fits you.
