About Me

Kenneth Guilfoyle, CPA holds a master’s degree in International Business Administration from the University of South Carolina and has over 25 years of global tax compliance and consulting experience in New York City, Tokyo Japan, London United Kingdom, Athens Greece and Silicon Valley California.  Ken has also worked as an assistant professor at San Jose State University where he taught courses in global tax compliance, personal financial planning and business entity taxation.

People ask, what is “tax coaching?” The answer, it’s two services: “done for you” and “done with you.” I prepare tax returns. That’s “done for you.”

I also guide you, look out for you, help you invest, plan a financial future. That’s, “done with you.” It’s a coaching role.

Life and career events have financial consequences. Everyone wants to avoid costly mistakes. That’s normal.

I help people realize a financial future. How? Wealth preservation has three objectives: 1. Protection 2. Growth 3. Tax Reduction

What assets to buy? That’s your decision. How do you preserve your assets? That’s, “done with you.“
