Our Story

Why I Started Tanaka Tax.

After three decades watching hardworking families and business owners overpay in taxes — or miss out on critical savings — because they lacked access to qualified professional guidance, I knew there had to be a better option.

Tanaka Tax & Accounting Services, PLLC was founded to deliver the kind of personalized, expert service typically reserved for large corporate clients — to individuals, families, and small business owners right here in Salt Lake City. You get a Doctorate-level advisor who answers the phone personally and explains every line of your return in plain language.

Our promise has never changed: fast answers, professional advice, and personal support — every single time.

"Every number tells your story. I make sure it's told correctly."

What We Stand For

The Values Behind Every Client Relationship.

Not a mission statement on a wall — the actual standards we hold ourselves to in every interaction.

Precision

Every number has a consequence. We triple-check every return, every payroll run, and every financial plan — because accuracy isn't optional, it's everything.

Clarity

You'll understand every step. No jargon, no vague answers — just clear explanations that empower you to make confident financial decisions.

Advocacy

As your IRS Enrolled Agent, I stand between you and the IRS when it matters most. Your best possible outcome is the only outcome I'm working toward.

Partnership

Tax season is twelve months long. I'm here year-round — answering questions, planning ahead, and making sure you're never caught off guard.

Why Choose Us

Credentials That Speak for Themselves.

Most local tax preparers lack the advanced credentials to handle complex situations — IRS disputes, ITIN applications, or multi-state business filings. At Tanaka Tax, you work directly with an IRS Enrolled Agent and CPA Candidate who has the formal education and decades of real-world experience to back every recommendation.
