Aaron Siegel
Enrolled Agent, enrolled to practice before the Internal Revenue Service. NTPI Fellow. Certified Tax Resolution Consultant and Specialist. Founder of Thrive Tax Solutions.
Before tax, I spent years in data analytics and enterprise software implementation, including public safety systems where the software had to work the first time. That background is why Thrive is built on systems: clean data in, a documented plan out, and no surprises.
I built Thrive as a deliberately small practice. 36 businesses, one advisor, year-round attention. It is the firm I would want if I were running an online business and had better things to do than think about taxes.
