A Strategic Mind with a Storyteller’s Heart

For nearly two decades, Dee Dee Stone built strategies that helped business owners reduce taxes, protect profits, and create the freedom to live life on their own terms. She’s a former IRS auditor turned bold entrepreneur, blending analytical precision with creative intuition. Today, she applies that same strategic mindset to everything from financial consulting to fiction—crafting stories and solutions that challenge convention, empower bold decisions, and inspire a life fully owned.

How She Got Here

Dee Dee didn’t follow a traditional path—she created one.

After earning her Master’s in Accounting in 2002, she spent several years at two public accounting firms before joining the IRS, where she worked as an auditor in the Small Business/Self-Employed division. It was there she saw the depth of confusion—and opportunity—hidden inside the tax code.

That experience lit a fire. In 2006, she launched her own firm with a clear mission: to help business owners unravel complexity, reduce taxes, and create freedom with their money.

Her approach was bold, strategic, and unapologetically thorough. And in one high-level case, it led to something bigger—she uncovered a Ponzi scheme run by another CPA and became the first whistleblower under the Dodd-Frank Act to expose such fraud.

In 2018, she added “CPA” to her credentials, though by that time, her results had already spoken for themselves.

Today, she works with business owners earning six to eight figures, helping them protect what they’ve built and create lasting wealth. And now, she also tells stories—fiction and nonfiction—that challenge convention and encourage people to write better endings, both in business and in life.

Because clarity isn’t luck. It’s strategy—applied with precision, purpose, and a little nerve.

What She’s Building Now

Dee Dee is the founder of Strategic Path Advisors, a boutique firm focused exclusively on high-level tax strategy for business owners earning over $1,000,000 annually. Her work helps entrepreneurs protect what they’ve built—and build even more.

She’s also the creator of EverBold Media, a publishing company designed to challenge, inspire, and entertain. Through nonfiction guides on wealth and taxes, plus fiction under the pen names Everlie Quinn (romance) and Beckett Blackwell (thrillers), she merges strategy with story to reach readers across every stage of life and reinvention.

In between tax codes and character arcs, Dee Dee curates The Unmapped Life—a creative brand born from her own choice to spend two to three months a year living abroad. It’s part storytelling, part travel, part reminder that your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Her work lives at the intersection of clarity, creativity, and bold decisions—and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
