What the practice does.

The work of the firm falls into two areas: tax and advisory for individuals, and tax and advisory for businesses.

For individuals

  • Federal and state tax preparationDone right the first time, filed on time.
  • Tax planningThe call you make before the decision, not after it.
  • Retirement planningSo the tax picture works as hard as the savings do.
  • Estates and trustsHandled carefully, explained clearly.
For businesses

Business tax and advisory

  • Federal and state tax preparationCorporations, partnerships, LLCs, sole proprietors.
  • Tax planningQuarterly strategy that fits the business you actually run.
  • Financial statementsReview and compilation engagements.
  • Business advisory and formationEntity choice and the big what-if questions, answered early.

And honest scope: this practice does not do bookkeeping, payroll, or audits. If that is what you need, you will hear it straight, along with where to look.

About Chris

Small practice. On purpose.

Chris Faria is a Certified Public Accountant serving individuals and businesses in San Jose and the greater Bay Area. He earned his Master's in Accountancy from San José State University in 2012 and has spent every season since helping local clients navigate their taxes with confidence.

His approach is practical and personal: clients come from every sector, from families and professionals to founders and contractors, and every one of them works directly with Chris, across the desk in San Jose or entirely remote. Today the practice serves a long-standing base of returning clients, many of whom have been with the firm for years, and that continuity is the way Chris prefers it: the person who prepares a return is the person who signs it, season after season.

The practice

How the practice works.

The same rhythm every season, for every client.

1

A conversation first

Every engagement begins with a conversation, by phone or across the desk, so the work is scoped honestly before it starts.

2

Documents, securely

Clients receive a simple checklist of exactly what is needed and a secure way to hand it over.

3

Review together, then file

Every return is walked through in plain English before it is filed, and signed by the same CPA who prepared it.
