Why we started IFS.
Before we became finance professionals, we were just like you—unsure of how to file taxes or read financial statements. We relied on tax preparers who merely inputted numbers into software, and we lacked knowledge about investments and retirement planning. We felt clueless and had no one to offer insightful guidance.
That changed when we became professionals and our friends began seeking our advice. Having been in your shoes, we understand the challenges you face. Now, we're here to help.
Why IFS?
We go beyond the basics because we care about your financial well-being. It’s not just about exchanging tax forms or financial statements—it’s about guiding you through insightful financial journeys. Our services extend beyond those of a typical tax preparer or bookkeeper; we provide curated guidance to help you achieve better financial results and independence.
We offer a fresh perspective, enabling you to adapt to the ever-changing financial landscape. We value quality, your time, and most importantly, you. Your success is our success, and we can't wait for you to experience what IFS has to offer.
The Founder of IFS
Jerricho C. Garcia, CPA, CGFM
“It all started with small favors until I realized there is a large group of individuals and businesses who do not have proper financial guidance.”
Hello, everyone. Jerricho here. I've walked a few different paths in life – from serving our country in the military to hustling in the food and service industry. Along the way, I've learned the value of discipline, integrity, and hard work.
Fast forward to today, and I'm a proud husband to my amazing wife and a doting dad to our two-year-old bundle of joy. Parenthood has brought a whole new level of responsibility and purpose into my life, igniting a passion to ensure a brighter financial future for my family and yours.
With a background as an auditor and now working in the government sector, I've seen firsthand the need for proper financial guidance. That's where I come in. I'm here to be your trusted ally, helping you make sense of your finances, uncover hidden opportunities, and chart a course towards your goals.
Whether you're a small business owner looking to streamline your accounting processes or an individual seeking clarity on your financial situation, I've got your back. Let's work together to turn your financial dreams into reality.
