About the Author

Ines Piraino is a Strategic Tax Strategist and the founder of TaxSavvy Advisors. She majored in accounting and spent almost a decade of her early career specializing in bookkeeping for trades businesses.

Between bookkeeping and tax planning, Ines took a detour into land investing-flipping raw land and managing complex land transactions. That hands-on business experience gave her a deeper appreciation for strategic planning and ultimately led her back to the world of tax strategy.

Today, as a federally licensed Enrolled Agent, Ines works with business owners earning $250K+ annually, using IRS-approved strategies most accountants overlook. While many tax professionals simply file returns based on what already happened, Ines looks ahead-creating proactive plans that reduce future tax bills and build long-term wealth.

“I realized I couldn’t advise business owners without being one myself,” she says.

That mindset inspired her to build TaxSavvy Advisors from the ground up-using her savvy brain and entrepreneurial background to help high-performing clients keep more of what they earn and pay less to the IRS.
