About Basil


Bio

Hi! I am a CPA licensed in multiple states and am the owner of a small business CPA firm specializing in tax preparation, bookkeeping and related consulting. We are 5-star rated on Google! I was a 4.0 GPA student in college and am a lifelong learner. In the same way that I sought out top grades as a reflection of my knowledge on a subject, I now prioritize a fair, quality service to my clients above all else.

Hi! I am a CPA licensed in multiple states and am the owner of a small business CPA firm specializing in tax preparation, bookkeeping and related consulting. We are 5-star rated on Google! I was a 4.0 GPA student in college and am a lifelong learner. In the same way that I sought out top grades as a reflection of my knowledge on a subject, I now prioritize a fair, quality service to my clients above all else.

Passing the CPA exam is not easy and not for the faint of heart. It is not a team sport and your success will not be predicated on your "positive attitude." For you to get what you want, you will have to come prepared to every meeting and to do a lot of independent reading + thinking. There's no magic touch that any tutor, me included, can bestow upon you if you don't WORK for it. You now also know that I am refreshingly honest (or brutally honest, depending on whether you like straightforwardness)!

In college, my style was to read the textbook before class, listen in class, then re-read the chapter before the exam. I don't expect or need you to approach learning as I did, but I want you to know that the CPA exam will challenge YOU, so you will have to give it your very best. The biggest contribution I can make to your success, then, isn't... to parrot the material. It will be to make sure you keep up the tough, winning mindset necessary for YOU to learn the material, with or without my "teaching." I am here to be your cheerleader and to hold you accountable: that's really it.

Lastly -- I had tutored my college roommates on multiple subjects, given my stellar grades. As a CPA business owner, I am frequently lauded by my clients for explaining things thoroughly yet in simple words. It's that no-nonsense style that I will bring to our meetings, if you hire me as your tutor!

Approved Subjects

Financial Accounting

Financial Accounting

In college, I had a 4.0 GPA in all of my accounting classes. Intermediate and Advanced Accounting -- combined, Financial Accounting -- are the "bread and butter" of the profession. PS: I passed the CPA exam on my first try. I also got an A on Wyzant's Financial Accounting verification test!
Managerial Accounting

Managerial Accounting

In college, I got an A+ in both Management Accounting (a/k/a Accounting 102) and in Cost Accounting (junior-year course). I passed the CPA exam on my first try, a feat that only 20% of candidates accomplish. I got a 95 on Wyzant's Managerial Accounting verification test!
Tax Accounting

Tax Accounting

I am a CPA with a Tax Accounting education and professional background. I have been preparing tax returns since at least 2009. I have proficient experience in personal income and business tax preparation; with sales tax and payroll tax. I do business in 12 US cities, so my specialty is learning + Tax Accounting in the *majority* of US states!

Excellent Tutor

Basil is one of the best accounting tutors that I have worked with on this platform. Got a 40% on my first quiz in my class dealing with consolidation accounting prior to meeting with him. After meeting with him, my grade jumped up to an 80% on quiz 2. His approach to tutoring is very effective. He likes to have materials sent to him 24 hrs advance before a lesson so that he can prepare efficiently for your lesson with him. He will take very complex accounting topics and walk you through them with various Excel templates to ensure that when your session is over you can sign off feeling confident. In the first meeting, I could tell that this guy actively cared about my learning and ensuring that I could get the best possible value out of a session even outside of the session. He would provide his recommendations on how to take the most use of my time in our tutoring sessions, and how to prepare for the quizzes most effectively. This showed me that as a tutor, he really cared a lot about my learning and understanding of the material. I honestly don’t know how I could have done well on my quiz without him. To those who are struggling in their entry level Financial accounting class, I guarantee that if you meet with Basil a couple of times per week through the semester that you will have strong chances of getting an A in the class as he goes to such great links to prepare lessons that will rise you from being stressed about the material to having a great deal of self confidence in a matter of hours. Absolutely one of the best accounting tutors that I have worked with on this platform and would recommend him to those who need major help in financial accounting , managerial accounting, or tax accounting. His help is a lot of what you need to make it through your accounting class!!!
