About Sandhya D. Jain, EA

Sandhya’s unique tax strategy brings structural logic and patent-backed problem solving directly to the tax code.

Before pivoting to tax law, she spent over 10 years as a Software Developer at Microsoft, holding multiple patents. Her analytical mindset was further sharpened during an 8-year tenure in India teaching Computer Engineering core structural courses:

Data Structures and Algorithms

Database Management Systems (DBMS)

Compiler Construction

She established her firm after noticing tech colleagues lacked awareness of global income reporting. Operating as a single-handed practice, she ensures complete data security without outsourcing and finalizes every return via a mandatory 1:1 virtual line-by-line review using Microsoft Teams.

Sandhya is also an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) authorized for ITIN certifications, serving as a strategic partner combining engineering and cross-border tax expertise.
