Riley has been a licensed CPA since 2014 and has worked with clients throughout Northern Virginia providing tax and advisory services to help them achieve their goals.

He works with companies of all sizes in nearly all industries, including government contractors, construction, real estate, professional service companies and medical practices. He works closely with clients in all stages of the business life cycle.

Riley also works with individual clients including business owners, high net worth individuals, rental property owners. He believes it is important for one YHB team member to oversee the business tax returns and the personal returns to make sure the clients are taking advantage of all possible strategies.

He enjoys laying out all options when it comes to making decisions and providing the impacts of those options. He feels that tax law changes present opportunities for planning and that the more you know, the more options you have. He also enjoys introducing new ideas to clients and making sure his clients are aware of all possible tax strategies to minimize tax in current and future years.

Riley focuses on his client’s specific needs to ensure they are aware of all tax opportunities, addressing internal challenges, increasing profitability, retaining top talent, incentivizing employees, making the best plan possible for the future. Riley is a team player and becomes part of the client’s team as a third-party advisor.
