About Refined Tax — A Boutique Accounting Firm Built Differently

We are not a big firm. We are two people who left careers in corporate accounting because we wanted to do work that actually matters.

Our Story

Why We Started Refined Tax

After a combined 25+ years working in public and private accounting, Lacey and Dan had seen how the big firms operated. The billing was unpredictable. Clients were passed from person to person. And most of the time nobody ever stopped to explain what was actually happening with a client's finances.


That bothered us. So we built a full service accounting firm around a different idea.


We wanted clients to talk to the same people every time. We wanted pricing to be clear before any work starts. And we wanted the goal to be bigger than just filing a return or closing the books — we wanted clients to actually understand their financial picture and feel good about where their money is going.


That is still what drives us today.

Our Values

What We Believe

Transparency first.

You always know what you are paying and why. No surprise invoices, no vague billing.

Real people, real answers.

When you call or email, you hear back from us. Not a front desk. Not an assistant. Us.

Education over dependency.

We want you to understand your finances, not just hand them off and hope for the best. The more you know, the better decisions you make.

Fair pricing, always.

We left corporate accounting partly because of how firms price-gouge clients who don't know any better. That is not how we operate.
