Our Founder

Hi, I’m Kristin Kippen, an Enrolled Agent and Certified Tax Planner with over two decades of experience helping individuals and families create financial freedom.

My passion for tax strategy goes beyond the numbers. I love helping clients uncover opportunities to save, simplify their financial lives, and gain peace of mind. I know the tax world can feel overwhelming, but my goal is to make it approachable, actionable, and transformative for you.


I didn’t set out to be just another tax professional. I set out to build relationships, to truly partner with my clients, and to become someone they trust to guide their financial journey. Each plan I create is a reflection of the unique goals, values, and priorities of the people I work with.

Our Philosophy

At Strategic Tax Planning, we believe in:

  • Clarity: You should feel confident and informed every step of the way.

  • Savings: Every dollar matters. We specialize in uncovering meaningful savings to help you live the life you envision.

  • Simplicity: Taxes don’t have to be complicated. We handle the details so you can focus on what matters most.
