Empowering self-employed creatives and small business owners with stress-free tax and business guidance
About Haley O’Bryan, CPA, LMFT
A lifelong creative and seasoned entrepreneur, I know what goes into cultivating an intentional, custom-built life. After graduating with my first Masters degree and working in IT audit at KPMG for two years, I began the arduous journey of transitioning into the mental health field while still volunteering and working in the financial services realm on a part-time basis. In 2023, I started my own private therapy practice, which still runs to this day, and in 2025, I set the intention to bring my years of volunteer tax experience and business consulting to the wider public; thus, Aquamarine Financial Services was born.
My primary clients are folks who have taken the brave step to become their own boss, particularly those in the performing arts (e.g., burlesque, drag, club dancing), gig workers, and mental health professionals who don’t particularly love dealing with taxes and thus need some extra guidance. Every interaction we have will help you feel less stressed and more at ease, and I try to emphasize education for all clients who desire it. I am also happy to be your “go-to” for questions throughout the year so that you can focus on doing what you love and fret less about the numbers in the background. Trust me, I’ve got you! ✨
