Stephen Bentley

Hi, I’m Stephen Bentley. After two decades as a software developer, I built a small software company from the ground up, ultimately selling it. During those years I handled my businesses' tax planning, compliance, and financial strategy — and discovered I had a real passion for helping others do the same.

I’ve lived the small business grind — payroll stress, tax bills, and trying to decode tax forms at midnight. And most importantly, I know what that dread feels like to open an envelope from the IRS. It can rock your world.

Now, I help others avoid those headaches. I’ve earned certifications as an Enrolled Agent, Main Street Certified Tax Advisor, and finalizing my certification as a Tax Resolution Specialist.

When I’m not helping clients navigate their tax challenges, you’ll find me outdoors hiking or playing disc golf with my wife, spending time with our grandson, or playing with our German Shepherd, Heidi.
