Your Financial Sounding Board
Who We Are…
Taxes are personal.
So are businesses.
This firm was built for people who want more than a once-a-year tax filing. We work with individuals, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who want to understand their numbers, not just submit them.
Over the years, we’ve developed a strong focus on small businesses, real estate, and businesses in transition, helping clients navigate growth, change, and complexity with clear financial and tax strategies. We also continue to support individuals who simply want their taxes done right, without stress or surprises.
Whether you’re managing a growing business, a property portfolio, or your personal return, our approach stays the same: clear guidance, thoughtful planning, and proactive support, every step of the way.
People-Driven Ethos
Humanizing the Numbers
We simplify financial language and reporting so you clearly understand what’s happening, why it matters, and what to do next.
Prepared for ‘What-ifs’
We plan ahead so unexpected moments don’t turn into financial emergencies.
Empathy-led Guidance
We stay close, answer questions, and help you move forward with confidence.

Darin Leman
FOUNDER, CPA + ChFC
With over 25 years of experience spanning accounting, leadership, and business advising, I merge deep technical expertise with a people-first approach. I started my career in public accounting and spent 17 years at State Farm in leadership roles, focused on revenue strategy, tax planning, and forecasting for sustainable growth. Over the past five years, I’ve helped entrepreneurs scale smarter, from securing seven-figure credit lines to building KPIs and financial models that guide better decisions. I’m driven by turning complex numbers into clear, actionable strategies, while raising a family of seven at home. -
