I’m Gurkan Guder, an Enrolled Agent (EA) and accountant based in California. I earned my Master’s degree in Accounting from California State University, Northridge, and I work with individuals and small business owners who want things done right, clean, and stress-free.

Before accounting, I spent nearly 20 years running and managing small businesses—retail stores, service businesses, partnerships, payroll, sales tax, employees, contractors… the real stuff. I didn’t learn business from a textbook. I learned it by doing it, fixing mistakes, dealing with cash flow, audits, deadlines, and tough decisions. That experience shapes how I work with my clients today.

As an Enrolled Agent licensed by the IRS, I’m federally authorized to prepare tax returns, provide tax planning, and represent clients before the IRS. I combine that technical tax knowledge with real-world business experience, so my advice is practical—not theoretical.

I work closely with:

• Small business owners

• Self-employed individuals

• Contractors & service professionals

• New startups and growing businesses

My approach is simple: understand your business, keep you compliant, minimize surprises, and help you make smarter financial decisions. I don’t just prepare forms—I explain things in plain English, because you should actually understand your numbers.

If you’re looking for an accountant who knows both the rules and real life, you’re in the right place.
