The IRS is Not Your Business Partner. Stop Giving Them a Cut!
If you’re earning $100K+ a year and still getting blindsided by tax bills — this isn’t just frustrating. It’s unnecessary.
"Tony is amazing! He does a GREAT job at communicating and goes above and beyond in everything he does. I really enjoy how he uses new technology platforms that make it almost enjoyable to take care of taxes (something you'd rarely hear)."

Every Dollar You Overpay Is a Bonus Check to the IRS
You hustled. You scaled. You earned it.
But you’re still writing big checks to the IRS every year — without knowing if it could’ve been avoided.
The worst part?
Your CPA never explains where the money’s going — or how to keep more of it.
"The CPA Dude team is very helpful, responsive, informative & thorough. They helped us with our tax woes and has given great advice to better prepare us for next year's tax returns. I am appreciative of their kind and sincere approach with answering our questions. My wife and I felt very much taken care of and definitely will continue to trust Tony and his team with our taxes."

The Hidden Cost of CPA Complacency
What your CPA didn’t catch is costing you:
Missed deductions, lost credits
No planning, no strategy
Wrong income classifications
Messy books, zero guidance
Messy books, zero guidance
Late filings, surprise tax bills
You’re not just missing deductions — you’re missing the proactive game plan that keeps high earners safe and ahead.
"I'm so glad to FINALLY have found the perfect CPA for us. Over the past few months I've talked to several CPAs but no one was as nice and patient as Tony. He's also very responsive to our messages and any questions we had! I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders since having Tony help us with our business tax return."

$600K Saved After Their CPA Missed the Obvious
Jennie Lok & Calvin Chin
Real Estate Investors | San Francisco, California
Jennie & Calvin were scaling fast in real estate, but their taxes were chaos. Their CPA filed returns reactively, missing huge opportunities in deductions and depreciation.
What we found:
Entity structure wasn’t optimized for real estate.
Missed write-offs, depreciation, and Section 179 benefits.
No real documentation or review process, just last-minute filings.
What we Did:
Restructured their entity setup and reporting system.
Reviewed prior returns, recovered missed deductions, and layered in real estate-specific write-offs.
Set up proactive mid-year reviews and a full audit-ready documentation process.
Result:
Over $600,000 in total tax savings and a strategy that now scales with their portfolio.
From Short-Term Rental Tax Chaos to a $35K Refund
Jay Maranan
Airbnb Host | San Francisco, California
Jay, a military vet and real estate investor, already had a CPA but they only did filings. No tax planning. No strategy. No insight into the Short-Term Rental loophole.
What we found:
His CPA didn’t know how to leverage STR tax benefits.
He was skeptical about paying more for a "strategy-based" CPA.
No proactive tax planning or system in place.
What we Did:
Implemented a real estate-focused tax strategy.
Activated the short-term rental loophole correctly.
Guided him through the process step-by-step and delivered white-glove service throughout.
Result:
$35,000 refunded and complete peace of mind.
From Guesswork to Full Control and $53K Back
Justin Bui and Marie Lok
Business Owners | Minneapolis, Minnesota
Justin and Marie, entrepreneurs and real estate investors, thought TurboTax was doing “okay” — until their income scaled and cracks began to show.
What we found:
No tax strategy guiding their business decisions.
$50K+ in missed mortgage interest deductions.
Mixed W-2 and 1099 income inflating taxable income.
What we Did:
Qualified them for Real Estate Professional Status.
Rebuilt their entire income structure across entities.
Uncovered $53,000 in missed deductions and built a strategy with tax-optimized cash flow.
Result:
Massive clarity, reduced tax burden, and confidence in their next growth phase.
If you’re in the same boat whether you’re using a CPA, doing it yourself, or somewhere in between — we’ve probably seen your situation before. And fixed it.
Ready to stop overpaying and start keeping more of what you earn?

“Found Tony on Yelp and I'm so glad that I did! Super easy to talk to and really helped walk me through the whole process. I had a mix of W-2 and 1099 work last year and he helped maximize my refund way more than I could've done myself through TurboTax. Safe to say I'm going to continue using The CPA Dude in the years to come!"

I am a small business owner in Minnesota, and I use The CPA Dude for my business and personal joint taxes with my husband. Tony and his team have done a fantastic job for the past two years with our taxes. They are always available to answer questions, are timely, and their online system is so efficient. Gone are the days of scanning old documents in a dingy office. We never even had to "make an appointment" - everything is done from their online system. Thank you Tony & team for making this process so seamless!

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
Q: Who is The CPA Dude?
The CPA Dude is a specialty tax firm built for people who are sick of getting fleeced by the IRS. Founded in 2019, we exist for one reason: to help hardworking business owners and individuals keep more of their money and stop overpaying on taxes.
Our approach? No cookie-cutter nonsense — just personalized, ROI-driven tax strategies that actually move the needle.
At the helm is Tony Hoong, a Certified Public Accountant with a degree from the University of Minnesota’s business school and a résumé stacked with Big Four experience.
He’s advised top-tier companies, survived the corporate grind, and now leads our team with the same relentless focus he brings to the gym.
If you want a firm that’s obsessed with your bottom line and actually gives a damn, you’re in the right place.
Q: How is this different from every other CPA firm?
Most tax pros react. We plan.
Most CPAs file. We build strategy.
Most firms ghost you until April. We check in all year — on a cadence that works around your schedule.
You don’t get a generic tax plan. You get a machine that works for you.
Q: What if I’m using TurboTax or doing it myself?
That’s usually where the biggest gaps are. Most DIY tax tools are built for basic W-2s, not business owners with complex income, deductions, or growth plans.
Q: Will you help fix mistakes from my old CPA?
Absolutely. We’ve saved clients tens of thousands just by reviewing past returns and correcting what was missed or misclassified.
Q: Is this only for California-based businesses?
No, we work with clients nationwide. But if you’re in California, the strategies are even more valuable.
Q: Do I have to handle anything on my own?
Nope. This is done-for-you. If we need anything, we’ll ask — otherwise, we take care of it all.
Q: What if I already have a CPA right now?
Most of our clients do. We’re the strategy layer they never had — and the one they actually needed.
Q: Will I see real savings right away?
In most cases, yes. We typically uncover $20K–$50K in missed opportunities within the first year.
Q: Is this just about filing taxes like everyone else?
No, filing is just the start. We build a real system that protects your income and accelerates your growth.
Q: How fast can you get me onboarded?
We move fast. Once qualified, most clients are onboarded in 7–10 days.
Q: Is this just a quick one-time fix?
No. This is about building a long-term strategy that grows with you — not just patching the past.
If you’re serious about keeping more of what you earn, you're in the right place. Click below to get started.
