About
Hi, I’m Kiandra.
I run Burr Necessities Tax, a small, fully virtual tax practice for individuals and small-business owners who want their taxes done right and explained like they’re a person.
Why Burr Necessities
Taxes are a necessity. Dreading them doesn’t have to be.
Here’s a confession: I actually like this stuff. The shoebox of receipts, the 1099 you forgot existed, the side hustle that quietly turned into a real business while you weren’t looking. Where most people see a headache, I see a puzzle I already know how to solve.
I started Burr Necessities Tax because good tax help shouldn’t feel like a pop quiz. Apps leave you guessing. Big chains can hand you a different person every year. Here, you get one preparer who knows your file, explains things in plain English, and still answers your texts in July.
I work with individuals, families, freelancers, and small-business owners, all virtually, so you never have to sit in a waiting room or hunt for parking. Bring your questions, your messy spreadsheets, and your “is this deductible?” texts. No judgment, I promise. I’ve seen worse.
And yes, the name is a pun. A double one, actually: “Burr” comes from my last name, Burruss, and the rest is a wink at “The Bare Necessities” from The Jungle Book. The philosophy fits. I’ll handle the forms, the deadlines, and the fine print. You handle the rest of your life, which, let’s be honest, is plenty.

How I work
