Jay, the Americanization of my unfamiliar South Asian name, reflects a constant strain in my life to find solutions that work. I adopted this name on the first day of my first job in America when an administrative assistant in my downtown Manhattan office had difficulty pronouncing my real first name; I said, “how about you call me Jay?” I have been Jay since then.
Arriving in this world in 1964 under humble circumstances, I spent extended periods of my childhood in homelessness. I endured the indignities of poverty, which people in those circumstances all over the world go through—being a sensitive soul, that has stayed with me.
From an early age, I developed a resolve to improve my and others’ financial lives and pursued that objective. In my late forties, I became financially independent, ie, now I don’t have to work for a living if I don’t want to.
I have always been open to sharing the methods, techniques, and processes I used to improve my financial lot. I have helped others—mostly the clients of my practice, Less Tax For Dentists—to copy, tweak, and implement my system for themselves. The results are impressive.
The practice, now based in Ft Lauderdale, was started in 2006 in Easton, Pennsylvania. Initially, the idea was to make a living while working with small business owners to pay less in taxes legally. I discovered early that the business people I could help the most were the doctors who owned their practices. I specialized in working with these doctors and then further specialized in dentists, who now form my business’s base.
I became increasingly educated about the dental profession and the latest techniques to lower their tax burden. Since then, I have served hundreds of doctors by holistically implementing advanced tax strategies.
