Griffin Tax
Income Tax Preparation, Planning, and Resolution
My name is Alana Griffin, and I am an Enrolled Agent (EA) with a Masters in Taxation. I am the owner and Managing Partner of Griffin Tax, a tax firm based in Santa Barbara. Im also a mom to 2 boys, an almost 6 year old and 4 year old. As a family we love to travel. My husband is from Louisiana and we spend about 1-2 months a year in Baton Rouge. I love what I do for work, I tell my clients I can't do what they do, but I know taxes and can help them in that way! Income taxes are never taught in school so I am passionate about teaching others how to plan for and pay their taxes. Because if we are manifesting and making that money, then we want to have a plan in place for the taxes that we have to pay.
