Built by a Professional,
for Professionals
Business at Ease was founded after its founder experienced the same problems you're dealing with — and decided to fix them.
Ashu Shelat, MD, MBA, EA
Ashu Shelat is a physician, entrepreneur, and IRS-licensed Enrolled Agent with a passion for helping professionals simplify the financial and administrative side of their work.
Like many high-income professionals, Ashu and his wife began their journey by forming S-Corporations to manage their income more efficiently. What should have been a straightforward process quickly became complicated — multiple providers for tax filing, payroll, bookkeeping, and compliance, each charging separate fees and often providing conflicting advice. Even with experienced CPAs involved, they were never completely confident that everything was structured correctly.
Frustrated by the complexity and lack of transparency, Ashu decided to learn the system himself. He pursued extensive education in tax strategy and business structuring and ultimately became an IRS-licensed Enrolled Agent — developing a deep understanding of the financial, tax, and regulatory challenges faced by professionals earning 1099 income.

What We Stand For
Transparency
Flat-rate pricing with no surprise invoices. You know exactly what you're paying and exactly what's included — always.
Expertise
Our founder holds an MD, MBA, and EA credential. We stay current with tax law changes and continually expand our knowledge to serve clients at the highest level.
Integration

Proactive Strategy
We don't wait for tax season. Year-round planning means fewer surprises and more opportunities to optimize your financial position.
Client Focus
Our goal is to remove burden, not add to it. Every system and process is designed to minimize the time and attention clients need to invest in the backend of their business.
Long-Term Partnership
We build relationships, not transactions. As your income and circumstances evolve, your financial strategy should too — and we'll be there for every step.
