I was so confused about tracking expenses for multiple delivery apps. Stratus Financial showed me exactly what to track and how. They made everything simple and saved me thousands. The team treats you like family, not just another client. I tell all my driver friends about them!
Thomas Nguyen

Moving from W-2 to freelance was intimidating, but Stratus guided me through every step. They helped me decide on my business structure, set up estimated payments, and maximize my home office deduction. Their proactive approach means I never miss a deadline or opportunity to save money.
Ashley Martinez
Freelance Writer
I was two years behind on my taxes when I found Stratus Financial. Instead of judgment, I got compassion and a clear plan to get current. They filed my back taxes, negotiated a payment plan with the IRS, and now I'm fully compliant. I sleep better at night knowing my taxes are handled!
Robert Chen
Photographer
Stratus helped me write off over $12,000 in equipment and travel expenses I almost missed. Their attention to detail is incredible. They even caught errors from my previous accountant and amended my returns to get me additional refunds. Worth every penny!
Lisa Parker
Virtual Assistant
What I love most about Stratus is their communication. They reach out quarterly to check in, remind me about deadlines, and answer questions before I even ask them. It's like having a tax expert on speed dial. The peace of mind is priceless.
James Brown
Real Estate Agent
I've used three different accountants over the years, and Stratus is by far the best. They understand the real estate industry and helped me maximize deductions for my marketing expenses, mileage, and home office. Plus, they're always responsive—I never wait days for answers.
Emily Crawford
Etsy Shop Owner
Running an Etsy shop while working full-time was overwhelming until Stratus stepped in. They organized my income and expenses, explained what I could deduct, and made quarterly tax payments manageable. Now I can focus on growing my business instead of stressing about taxes!
"I went from owing the IRS $15,000 in back taxes to being completely current and saving over $8,000 annually. Lukas and his team didn't just fix my tax problems—they gave me a financial education and a plan for the future. They treat you like family, and that makes all the difference."
