Katie Carlson, JD


Katie Carlson founded KCLC Tax Planning & Preparation to give successful professionals and business owners something most tax firms never offer: a plan, built before the decisions happen, not a return filed after they do.

With a background in law, Katie brings a level of analytical rigor to tax strategy that goes beyond compliance. Her focus is on the decisions that actually move the number on your return: entity structure, reasonable compensation, retirement contributions, and the timing of major deductions.
