Business owners deserve better than once-a-year advice and a number they didn’t see coming.

Here’s who we are, why we built TSL, and what drives every decision we make on behalf of our clients.

Our Story

The long way around turned out to be exactly the right path.

Stephanie came to tax strategy through a career built entirely on relationships — not just technical expertise. Every role she held, in every industry she touched, produced the same result: clients who stayed, trusted her completely, and sent everyone they knew.

When she and Chris decided to stop building someone else’s dream and start their own, that track record became the foundation.  They found that leveraging their best talents was the key to unlocking the vision for what TSL could be.

The Tax Strategy Lab was built on the belief that the right advisor changes everything, and the right year-round team is the key.

“We believe every business owner deserves to stay in love with what they built. The Tax Strategy Lab exists to keep that dream alive — one strategy at a time.”

Unveil Our Story

Stephanie Corbaley, EA
Founder and Lead Tax Strategist

bw steph desert challant

Stephanie is an Enrolled Agent and federally authorized tax practitioner admitted to practice before the IRS. But what her clients notice first isn’t the credential. It’s that she actually listens.
She built The Tax Strategy Lab because she kept watching business owners overpay — not because the strategies didn’t exist, but because nobody was showing up early enough to help them act while there was still time. She decided to be that person.
Stephanie works with every client personally. She explains things in plain language, finds creative legally defensible strategies where other practitioners see dead ends, and shows up in a way most people have never experienced from someone in her field. Clients often say she’s the first person in their financial life who made them feel like they finally had someone genuinely in their corner.

Chris spent more than two decades building relationships and driving results in sales and business development before partnering with Stephanie to build The Tax Strategy Lab. He knows what it feels like to pour yourself into someone else’s vision. He also knows what it took to finally build their own.
As COO, Chris is the reason the firm runs the way it promises to. Clients are followed up with. Questions get answered. Nothing falls through the cracks. Behind every smooth client experience is someone making sure the operation behind it is worthy of the trust people place here.
He is also the person you are most likely to laugh with on a discovery call.

If this sounds like the kind of firm you’ve been looking for, let’s find out if we’re the right fit.

The discovery call is a real conversation. No pressure, no pitch. Just an honest look at where you are, what’s possible, and whether we’re the right people to help you get there.
