Tax Expert Today LLC is a boutique tax advisory firm based in Naples, Florida, serving business owners, high earners, and high-net-worth families across all 50 states. Founded by Dr. Pellumb Kabashi, who holds a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) and Master of Business Administration (MBA), both with concentration in taxation, plus credentials as a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified Estate and Trust Specialist (CES), and Enrolled Agent (EA), the firm combines doctoral-level tax expertise with plain-English communication. Dr. Kabashi leads a multidisciplinary team of tax advisors, enrolled agents, CPAs, and tax attorneys who handle tax planning, IRS resolution, fractional CFO advisory, estate strategy, and international tax compliance under one roof.
Founded on one principle: clarity through complexity
Most tax problems do not stay solved because they were never fully understood. A taxpayer signs a return, responds to a notice, or settles an audit without ever seeing the bigger picture — and the same issue resurfaces the following year, often larger.
Tax Expert Today was built to break that cycle. Every engagement starts with the same approach: take the problem apart, explain each piece in language the client can use, then assemble the strategy in a way that holds up under IRS scrutiny, family circumstances, and time.
“Once you tackle challenges piece by piece, the big picture becomes less intimidating, and more empowering.”
— Dr. Pellumb Kabashi, Founder
This philosophy now defines how the entire team works. Every advisor and consultant we bring on is hired for two qualities equally — technical depth, and the ability to translate that depth into plain English a non-specialist can act on.
Meet Dr. Pellumb Kabashi
Dr. Pellumb “PK” Kabashi founded Tax Expert Today LLC after 15 years working at the intersection of a family office environment, top tax and law firms, and his own ventures. That combination, corporate scale, firm-side rigor, and entrepreneurial empathy, shapes every engagement the firm takes on.
His positioning sits where most tax practitioners do not: doctoral and graduate-level academic depth in taxation, combined with hands-on advisory and forensic expertise.
Dr. Kabashi’s practice concentrates on strategic tax planning for business owners and high earners, fractional CFO advisory for growth-stage companies, estate and trust planning for multigenerational families, and international tax compliance, including FBAR filings, the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures, FEIE and FTC strategy for U.S. expatriates.
His commentary on tax strategy, IRS enforcement trends, residency planning, and business advisory has been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, GoBankingRates, AZ Big Media, Brainz Magazine, High Net Worth Magazine, Consultant Magazine, CFO Drive, Financial Tech Times, CHRO Daily, DevX, and other sources.
Outside the firm, Dr. Kabashi can usually be found on the tennis court or at the beach, a Naples, Florida lifestyle he chose intentionally, for the same reason many of his clients eventually do.
Our team and approach
Tax Expert Today is intentionally a boutique firm. We work with a limited number of clients each year, by design. That structure means our clients reach a senior advisor when they call, get a response inside one business day, and never get handed to a junior preparer on the most consequential parts of their planning. We believe in our clients and we want our clients to believe and put their trust in us.
Our team is multidisciplinary by composition:
- Strategic tax advisors specializing in proactive planning for business owners and high earners
- Enrolled Agents federally credentialed to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all 50 states
- Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) for state-licensed audit, attest, and accounting work
- Tax attorneys for matters requiring legal privilege, complex entity structures, or litigation support
- Forensic and financial-analysis specialists for cases involving hidden income, business valuation, or settlement modeling
This range matters because real client situations rarely sit cleanly inside one discipline. A divorce settlement is also an estate planning event. An IRS audit defense often becomes a tax planning reset. A cross-border move is simultaneously a state residency, FBAR, and FEIE question. We staff each engagement with the right combination of specialists — not whoever happens to be available.
Who we work with
We work with three kinds of clients most often:
Business owners and entrepreneurs — Service-firm founders, real estate operators, e-commerce sellers, agency owners, and professional service partners. We design tax strategy around how the business actually generates and reinvests cash, not generic year-end suggestions. Practice areas relevant here include Tax Planning, CFO Advisory & Bookkeeping, and Business Consulting.
High earners and high-net-worth families — W-2 executives with significant compensation and equity, retirees with complex investment portfolios, and families managing intergenerational wealth. Concentration in residency planning (Florida, Texas), capital gains timing, Estate & Trust Planning, and charitable strategy.
Cross-border and expatriate taxpayers — U.S. citizens working or investing abroad, non-resident investors in U.S. real estate, dual-status filers, and individuals with foreign accounts requiring FBAR or Form 8938 disclosure. Includes Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures, offshore voluntary disclosure, FEIE/FTC strategy, and GILTI planning. See International & Expat Tax.
We do not take clients seeking aggressive positions that would not survive an IRS examination. The firm’s name and reputation depend on every position being defensible.
Where we work
Tax Expert Today is headquartered at 11983 Tamiami Trail N, Naples, Florida 34110, and is federally credentialed to serve clients in all 50 U.S. states. Most engagements are handled remotely via secure client portal, video conference, and phone — clients across the country work with the firm without ever traveling to Naples.
Practice concentration is strongest in four states, each with its own dedicated planning page:
- Florida — No-state-income-tax planning, residency strategy, homestead exemption, snowbird domicile
- California — PTET strategy, CA-to-FL/TX exit planning, residency
- Texas — Franchise tax, no-state-income-tax compensation strategy, Houston/Dallas/Austin
- Georgia — State income tax, QBI deduction, retirement income exclusions, Atlanta metro
The firm also serves clients in every metropolitan area in between, with particular client density in Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, and Los Angeles.
What sets us apart
Three things, mainly:
1. Doctoral-level expertise in taxation, not just compliance. Most tax practitioners are credentialed to prepare returns and resolve notices. Dr. Kabashi’s Doctor of Business Administration with concentration in taxation — combined with an MBA in the same field — means the firm approaches every engagement with research-grade depth. Tax decisions are framed as business decisions first, with the tax outcome flowing from the strategy. That is a fundamentally different starting point than working backward from a 1040.
2. Year-round, not just at filing time. Most tax preparers see a client once a year, between January and April. By that point, the planning year is already over. Our engagements are year-round, with quarterly check-ins built in, because the strategic tax decisions happen before the return is filed, not after.
3. Multidisciplinary depth in one engagement. Real situations need IRS representation, accounting close work, entity-structure legal advice, and sometimes forensic financial analysis. Most firms can give you one of those. We assemble the right combination from inside one team.

Frequently asked questions about our firm
Who is the founder of Tax Expert Today?
Tax Expert Today LLC was founded by Dr. Pellumb Kabashi, a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) — both with a concentration in taxation — plus Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified Estate and Trust Specialist (CES), and Enrolled Agent (EA) credentials. His background spans 15 years across family office environments, top tax and law firms, and his own ventures.
Do I need to come to Naples to work with you?
No. Most engagements are handled remotely via secure client portal, video, and phone. The Naples office is available for in-person meetings when needed, but the majority of clients across the country work with the firm without ever traveling here.
What states do you serve?
All 50 U.S. states. Practice concentration is strongest in Florida, California, Texas, and Georgia.
Do you handle IRS audits?
Yes. The firm regularly represents clients in IRS examinations, collections, and appeals across all 50 states. See IRS Resolution & Audit Support.
Do you work with U.S. citizens living abroad?
Yes. Cross-border tax — FBAR filings, Form 8938 disclosures, FEIE, FTC, GILTI, Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures, and offshore voluntary disclosure — is a core practice area. See International & Expat Tax.
How are fees structured?
Engagements are typically scoped on a fixed-fee or quarterly retainer basis, depending on scope — not hourly billing. We provide a scope and fee letter before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
How quickly do you respond to inquiries?
Within one business day on contact form submissions; same business day for calls during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM ET).
What types of business owners do you work with?
Service-firm founders, real estate operators, e-commerce sellers, agency owners, professional service partners, and growth-stage business owners with annual revenue ranging from established small business through middle-market. The common denominator: clients who treat tax as a strategic function, not a once-a-year compliance task.
Ready to talk?
If you are a business owner, high earner, or family with cross-border or estate complexity — and you want the planning explained in language you can actually use — we would be glad to talk.
