A calm, organized workspace in warm afternoon light
About SBZ Tax

A modern tax practice with a face, a name, and a real expert behind it.

SBZ Tax & Accounting started with a simple belief: small-business owners deserve a tax professional who actually knows them β€” not a call-center ticket or a once-a-year stranger. We work with small businesses and individuals across the U.S. who want their books handled and their taxes done right.

We pair that personal relationship with modern, secure, remote-first systems β€” so you get the trust of a real expert and the convenience of working together from anywhere in the country.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Tony ShakbazyanCRTP

Founder, SBZ Tax & Accounting Β· CTEC Registered Tax Preparer

Tony started SBZ Tax in Southern California and has spent the last 10 years working with small-business owners and families on their taxes and their books. His clients are S-Corps, LLCs, partnerships, and self-employed owners who want one person who actually knows their business β€” plus individuals who are done guessing at their own returns.

Tony is also a licensed California real estate broker. For clients who own property β€” a rental, the building they operate from, a short-term rental β€” that means the real estate side and the tax side get looked at by the same person, instead of two who never speak to each other.

The way he works is simple: know the numbers all year, plan before the deadline, and pick up the phone when a client calls. That’s the whole reason the practice exists β€” so nobody he works with is ever surprised by a tax bill again.
