Built to see the full picture.

Too many small businesses get stuck choosing between doing it themselves badly and paying enterprise prices for help they don't fully need. Prism fills that gap: one firm, sized for the business you have, where strategy, taxes, payroll, and books are handled by the same team instead of scattered across providers who never talk to each other.

Joa García, EA · Founder

Fourteen years in small business finance. Enrolled Agent. The kind of practitioner who builds the systems, runs the numbers, and sits across the table from you when it's time to make a decision.

Credentials

Joa is an Enrolled Agent, the IRS's highest credential for tax practitioners. She's spent 14 years working with small business owners across professional services, retail, construction, restaurants, and e-commerce. Joa's the kind of person who reads tax code on the beach (yes, really) and gets a small kick out of finding the deduction someone else missed. She founded Prism Consulting in 2020 after realizing the integrated model she'd been building informally for years deserved to be the firm itself.

Our Story in Photos

In and Out of Office

Prism wasn't planned in a boardroom or funded by a loan. It started with one person, a handful of clients, and the conviction that small businesses deserve better than what they were getting. These photos tell that story better than we can.

Five years in. Still growing, still in the weeds, still showing up.
