Lorenzo started at My Tax Fella the way most people start in a family business, handling DocuSign requests, administrative tasks, and whatever the day demanded. Working alongside his father, Anthony, gave him a perspective few get early in their career: what it actually means to work both in a business and on one. Doing the day-to-day work firsthand revealed to him his passion. Today, Lorenzo builds the technology that makes the firm easier to work with, and easier to work at. He designs the website, manages the CRM that powers client intake and communication, and develops the marketing that keeps clients informed year-round. Every system he builds serves the same two goals: clients who get faster answers, smoother onboarding, and a seamless experience from first contact to final delivery, and a team freed from busywork so they can spend their time where it matters most: taking care of clients.
