About René G.

I\'m a CPA and EA with over nine years of experience specializing in tax services for exempt organizations. I’ve worked in small, mid-sized, and large public accounting firms, supporting both local nonprofits and national organizations. I hold a Master of Science in Taxation from Golden Gate University and AICPA’s Not-for-Profit Certificates I & II.I work with tax-exempt organizations across healthcare, education, and philanthropy, focusing on reviewing Forms 990, 990-T, and related state filings. I assist with tax research and consulting projects, contribute to accurate analysis, manage deadlines, coach staff, and help ensure the delivery of high-quality, compliant filings that let mission-driven clients focus on their goals.I’m especially comfortable working behind the scenes, digging into complex issues, solving problems quietly, and helping teams deliver great work. As an introvert, I thrive in focused, collaborative environments where I can support others, think deeply, and contribute meaningfully without needing the spotlight.My passion lies in helping nonprofit organizations navigate complex tax challenges with clarity and confidence. I bring strong technical skills (especially in Excel and data modeling), a collaborative leadership style, and a growing interest in using Generative AI to streamline workflows and improve accuracy.Outside of work, I enjoy reading fiction, my favorite genre is Magical Realism, and nonfiction, preferably true stories involving financial crimes, usually with a good coffee in hand. I also like writing research-based posts for LinkedIn, a hobby that allows me to share interesting findings about tax, nonprofits, and technology.
