Sam Zarazua

Tax Compliance Senior

Sam has always loved solving problems—whether in a lab, in the world of tax, or gliding around a roller rink. Originally from Guatemala and now based in Virginia, she brings a unique mix of analytical thinking and real-world experience to tax advisory, making complicated tax topics feel a little less overwhelming.

Before stepping into the world of tax, Sam earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and worked as a molecular scientist. Her background helps her connect with medical professionals, explaining tax strategies in a way that actually makes sense. After studying accounting at VCU, she found her passion in tax planning—helping business owners, real estate investors, and individuals keep more of what they earn.

As both a tax professional and a real estate investor, Sam knows firsthand how important good tax strategies are. She takes a down-to-earth approach, breaking things down clearly and helping clients feel confident in their financial decisions.

When she’s not working, you’ll probably find Sam at the roller rink, gardening, or spending time with her family. Whether she’s perfecting a tax strategy or cruising around the rink, she brings the same energy and enthusiasm to everything she does.
