Meet your tax preparer
Hi, I'm Shannon.
I have a degree in accounting and more than 25 years of experience working with data. I started Peace of Mind Taxes because too many people dread tax season. I explain things clearly and never make you feel bad for asking.
“Everyone deserves honest, accurate, and easy-to-understand tax support.”
