Originally from Quito, Ecuador, Carlos’s journey is a testament to perseverance and dedication. Arriving in the United States in the 1990s marked the beginning of a remarkable evolution from bold aspirations to tangible achievements. Facing the challenges of his time with limited digital resources, Carlos embarked on his tax journey humbly and tenaciously. Armed with knowledge, a few forms, a calculator, a mini portable photocopier, and an unwavering will to succeed, he traversed the streets of Florida, offering his services and trying to help community members on managing and filing their taxes. This initial effort, filled with challenges and rejections, forged his character as a professional, teaching him to be resilient in his craft. Each opened door was of great value, as it presented an opportunity to connect personally, understand each taxpayer’s unique concerns, and establish a bond based on trust and mutual respect. This personal and direct approach not only allowed him to build a solid client base but also deepened his understanding of the needs and difficulties faced by individuals and families when navigating the tax system, ultimately beginning a journey of constant learning that led him to discover his passion and commitment to tax education.

His experience as an immigrant has given him a deep understanding of the challenges Latinos face in the tax realm. Which ties to his commitment to guiding them in their development as tax preparers, from the basics of tax preparation to achieving the most prestigious Enrolled Agent (EA) designation. This educational journey not only enhances his students’ technical skills but also empowers them to advance in their tax careers, providing them with the necessary tools to thrive in a highly competitive and constantly evolving environment.
Carlos affirms that the progress of his students is the barometer of his own effectiveness as an educator, as he describes in the phrase he often mentions, “Your success in the tax industry is my priority.” His mentoring impact is evident in the autonomy and confidence his students develop, enabling them not only to secure a safer financial future for themselves but also to contribute significantly by providing essential and well-informed services to the community. As these professionals progress, they become pillars of their own communities, often acting as a bridge between the complexities of the US tax system and Spanish speakers navigating it.
