Han S. Kim, CPA, EA, MST

I'm a California-based tax advisor helping individuals and business owners reduce tax risk, stay compliant, and plan strategically year-round.

My career includes roles at leading financial institutions, working with high-net-worth individuals and corporate executives on advanced tax strategies, compliance oversight, and investment analysis.

I have worked in both tax preparation and advisory roles, translating complex tax law into clear, practical guidance. As an Enrolled Agent, I am federally licensed to represent taxpayers directly before the IRS in audits, notices, and disputes, a credential issued by the IRS itself and specific to tax professionals. Beyond corporate experience, I have operated as an independent consultant and founded my own ventures, giving me firsthand insight into the operational and financial challenges business owners face.

Today, I combine CPA, EA, and CFA expertise with this diverse background to deliver practical, audit-ready tax solutions grounded in accuracy, clarity, and long-term strategy. The CFA designation shapes how I evaluate tax decisions within a broader financial context, including investments, cash flow, and long-term wealth planning, a perspective most CPAs do not bring to tax work.
