Why Work With Me

Most people don’t hate taxes - they hate the stress, the uncertainty, and not knowing if they’re doing things correctly. That’s where I come in.

I’m Rod Washausen, a CPA with over 17 years of experience helping individuals file accurately, avoid costly mistakes, and stay ahead of tax changes.

Here’s what clients appreciate most:

Fast, accurate preparation — no last-minute chaos
No surprise tax bills — everything is explained clearly
Year-round support — not just April 15th
Straight answers, no jargon
Direct access to me — not an assistant or generic help desk

If you want peace of mind and predictable results, you’ll feel right at home here.
