    About Sapowith

    Sapowith Tax Advisory is a boutique San Francisco CPA practice for founders, CFOs, and high-net-worth individuals dealing with tax complexity that generalist firms aren't built for. We advise on M&A structuring, international expansion, multi-state SALT, equity compensation/QSBS planning, cannabis 280E, digital assets, and IRS/state controversy. It's senior-led, not a rotating bench. Expect fast turnarounds, audit-ready positions, and guidance you can execute.
