Tax Preparer

A tax strategist with a real estate focus, Jocelyn blends big-firm expertise with a passion for community and personal connection.

She began her career in a real estate tax credit firm where she gained experience in both audit and tax work. Her passion for taxation deepened during her time at a global tax firm, where she worked on complex multinational accounts.
