A scenic road lined with palm trees leading towards tax resolution, credit restoration, and bookkeeping.

I’m Andrew—

founder of Clear Path Tax and Credit LLC. My passion for helping others find financial freedom is deeply personal. I know what it’s like to feel stuck—overwhelmed by debt, uncertain about the future, and unsure of where to turn. I’ve been there myself, navigating the IRS system and successfully settling my own tax debt through an Offer in Compromise. I’ve rebuilt my credit—more than once—and I understand how hard that road can be.

With over 13 years of combined military service, I’ve learned the importance of discipline, structure, and showing up for people during life’s hardest seasons. I also have a hands-on understanding of what it takes to keep finances on track and organized.

Clear Path was born out of both my personal journey and my professional experience. Through tax resolution, credit restoration, and bookkeeping, I offer practical, honest solutions—rooted in real life, not theory.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure of where to start, I want you to know this: you’re not alone. I’ve been where you are, and I’m here to help you find a clear path forward.
