Work directly with someone who keeps your taxes organized and on track.
Pleasant Hill Tax Group is a small, local practice led by Lindsey Hare, EA. She helps individuals and families in the East Bay simplify their taxes, stay ahead of deadlines, and feel a lot less stressed when April comes around.
Tax season shouldn't feel like a scramble.
For a lot of people, taxes feel disorganized. Documents are scattered across email and shoeboxes. Big decisions get made without anyone to ask. And every March, the same uncertainty shows up — am I missing something? Will I owe?
It usually isn't a tax problem. It's an organization problem — and a relationship problem. Most people don't have one steady person they can call.
That's the part Lindsey fixes.
A simpler, calmer way to handle your taxes.
The work is built around three quiet outcomes. Everything else — the tax prep, the bookkeeping, the planning — supports them.
Stay organized throughout the year
A simple system for keeping your records clean from January to December — so nothing important gets lost.

The same person, year after year.
Most of Lindsey's clients have been with her for years. They stay because the support is consistent, the communication is clear, and there are no surprises.
We finally stopped dreading April. Lindsey keeps us organized all year — by the time taxes are due, there's almost nothing left to do.
I switched after one season at a national chain. Working with the same person who actually remembers our situation has made a huge difference.
Lindsey handles our personal returns and the business books. One point of contact, clear answers, no chasing anyone down.
Built for people who want consistency.
Lindsey works best with individuals and families who value a steady, long-term relationship over the lowest possible price.

Meet Lindsey Hare, EA
Pleasant Hill Tax Group is led by Lindsey Hare, an Enrolled Agent who has been helping individuals navigate their taxes with confidence for over 15 years.
Lindsey's approach is simple: keep things organized, stay ahead of deadlines, and make tax season feel a lot less stressful.
After starting her career in 2007 and becoming an Enrolled Agent in 2013, Lindsey built her experience working with a wide range of clients — from straightforward returns to more complex financial situations.
Since moving to the Bay Area, she's worked with local individuals and families to simplify their tax process and bring more structure to how they manage their finances year-round.
In 2023, Lindsey became the sole owner of Pleasant Hill Tax Group, continuing a long-standing local practice while building a more modern, client-focused experience.

A more personal approach
This isn't a high-volume, transactional firm. Lindsey works closely with each client to:

- and make sure nothing falls through the cracks
The goal is straightforward: fewer headaches, better organization, and a smoother experience every year.
Get organized for this year — and work directly with Lindsey.
