Melissa M. Mitchell

I have decades of experience advising business owners regarding income taxes. I spent 16 years at Ernst & Young, LLP where I served publicly traded companies as well as large privately owned businesses. Over the last decade I have built my own practice based on what I enjoy the most – advising small and midsize privately owned businesses. I have worked alongside people at all different stages of business ownership: starting their business, growing their business to profitability, raising additional capital for business expansion and selling their business. I draw on all this experience to help my clients better understand and prepare for their tax obligations. I am able to explain complex tax rules in way that anyone can understand. Then I help you apply those tax rules to your business in the most practical way. I bring peace of mind by minimizing the chance of unexpected tax bills. I add value by becoming your trusted advisor; helping you evaluate the challenges and opportunities of your business from different angles, not just the income tax angle. I build long-term relationships with clients based on understanding their business operations, their goals and their values.
