About Arc & Ledger

An Enrolled Agent firm in Los Angeles, built for international clients and small business owners who want tax done right

We started Arc & Ledger because we kept meeting Turkish entrepreneurs and expats who were getting tripped up by the US tax system — not because they were doing anything wrong, but because nobody had explained it to them clearly.

ITIN applications, FBAR obligations, E-2 visa financials, US-Turkey tax treaty positions — these are not complicated concepts, but they require someone who has seen them before. We have, hundreds of times. We can explain what applies to your situation and handle it correctly.

We also work with small US businesses — S-Corps, LLCs, sole proprietors — who need structured, accurate bookkeeping and tax preparation, not whoever is cheapest in February. Every engagement starts with a clear scope and a written agreement. You know what you're paying for before we start.

Credentials

Arc & Ledger's principal is an IRS Enrolled Agent (EA) — federally licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to practice before the IRS. That means we can represent you in audits, appeals, and collections, not just prepare your return. Enrolled Agents are the only federally licensed tax practitioners who specialize exclusively in taxation. If the IRS contacts you, we can step in and handle it directly.

How We Work

What to Expect

No surprises. Clear scope, clear pricing, clear communication.

We start with a review

Before any work begins, we review your situation and define the scope. You get a written proposal with clear pricing. No guesswork.

Each service is its own engagement

Tax preparation, bookkeeping, and advisory are separate. You pay for what you need, and you know the price before we start.

Work starts after agreement

Once you accept the scope and pay the engagement fee, we get started. Your position in the queue is confirmed and you get access to the client portal.

Everything is documented

All communication happens through the client portal. Your files, your returns, your correspondence — organized and archived.

Who We Work With

Why It Matters

What We Believe About Tax Work

You deserve a clear answer, not a vague estimate

Before we start, you know what the scope is and what it costs. No surprises at the end. No scope creep without a conversation.

Accuracy matters more than speed

Rushed returns create problems. We take the time to get it right — that means we need your documents before the last week of April.

The IRS is not a reason to panic

Most IRS notices are straightforward. If you get one, tell us. We can read it, respond to it, and represent you if it escalates.

The Turkish community deserves better than generic advice

Tax advisors who don't know the US-Turkey treaty, FBAR rules, or E-2 visa requirements will get things wrong. We specialize in exactly this.
