Gabe Hogan is a tax strategist, licensed tax attorney, and former IRS federal agent who knows the tax system from every angle—and how to legally help clients keep more of what they earn.

With a rare blend of deep technical expertise and plain-English communication, Gabe simplifies complex tax strategies for everyone from first-time investors to high-net-worth individuals, turning tax challenges into opportunities.

Gabe holds a BS in Accounting, a Juris Doctor (JD), and a Master of Laws in Taxation (LLM). While he is not a CPA, he can do everything a CPA can from a tax perspective—and more. As a licensed tax attorney, he can also represent clients before the IRS in audits and disputes, providing legal protection when it matters most. Many clients pair a CPA for clean books with Gabe for advanced strategy and risk mitigation.

Before founding Palmettos & Prickly Pears, Gabe spent four years as an IRS federal agent auditing high-net-worth individuals and training new IRS auditors. He later led tax strategy for clients with assets ranging from seven to eleven figures at a major firm before launching his own practice to deliver more personalized, strategic tax planning.
