About
Most new business owners are great at what they do — but the financial side? That's where things get overwhelming fast. Taxes, bookkeeping, business structure, cash flow... it's a lot to figure out alone, and the wrong moves early on can cost you significantly down the road.
That's exactly why I built a practice focused specifically on new businesses and solo entrepreneurs.
I'm Daniel Herrera, a licensed CPA and IRS Enrolled Agent with several years of experience working primarily with service-based businesses — think consultants, coaches, freelancers, agencies, and independent contractors. I work 100% remotely, so wherever you're located, I can help.
I help aspiring and early-stage business owners go from idea to launch with a solid financial foundation — the right entity structure, a clean bookkeeping setup, a realistic plan for profitability, and a tax strategy that works in your favor from the start. As an IRS Enrolled Agent, I also have the authority to represent you before the IRS, which means you have a true advocate in your corner if tax issues ever arise.
Hiring me means you're not just checking a box — you're gaining a knowledgeable, approachable partner who's with you at every stage of building your business.

Our organization needed 2 years of tax returns completed and filed without delay and Jaya handled the whole process promptly and professionally. We were walked through the necessary uploads and downloads making the whole endeavor painless.
