EDUCATION
With 17+ years of experience serving logistics companies, professional services firms, and high-growth businesses, I bring deep expertise to Georgia's thriving economy. From Fortune 500 headquarters in Atlanta to port-related businesses in Savannah, I help Georgia businesses stay compliant while maximizing tax savings.
At SDO CPA, we provide modern, cloud-based accounting solutions to help Georgia business owners streamline their bookkeeping, tax planning, and fractional CFO services. Whether you need help with multi-state tax planning, corporate tax strategies, or preparing investor-ready financials, we offer virtual CPA services tailored to Georgia's business-friendly environment.
SPECIALTIES
INDUSTRIES
Georgia has been ranked the #1 state for business for over a decade, with 18 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the state and 450+ Fortune 500 companies maintaining a presence. Atlanta ranks 4th nationally for Fortune 500 headquarters. The Port of Savannah—the third busiest container port in the U.S.—generates $77 billion in state GDP and supports 650,965 jobs statewide (12% of total state employment). Georgia's logistics industry now accounts for one in every nine jobs, while the state's corporate tax rate dropped to 5.19% in 2025. With Hartsfield-Jackson as the world's busiest airport and a booming film industry, Georgia businesses need CPAs who understand logistics accounting, multi-state tax planning, and the unique incentives available in the Peach State.

A Trusted CPA For Modern Georgia Businesses

Maximize Georgia's Business Incentives
Pain Point: Georgia offers significant tax credits and incentives—including job tax credits, port bonuses, and film production credits—but many businesses miss these opportunities because they don't track eligible activities.
Solution: We help Georgia businesses identify, document, and claim available tax credits and incentives, turning your investments in jobs, facilities, and port activity into meaningful tax savings.
Navigate Multi-State Tax Complexity
Pain Point: Georgia businesses with operations, customers, or employees in multiple states face complex nexus issues, apportionment rules, and filing requirements that can result in unexpected tax liabilities.
Solution: We coordinate multi-state tax planning to minimize your overall burden, help maintain compliance across jurisdictions, and help you understand your nexus exposure before it becomes a problem.


Strategic CPA Services For High-Growth Businesses
Pain Point: Many CPAs don't understand the unique accounting needs of fast-growing Georgia businesses—from revenue recognition to investor reporting to exit planning.
Solution: We provide specialized accounting and advisory services for growth-stage businesses, including investor-ready financials, M&A due diligence support, and strategic tax planning.
