Serving Tax Clients Throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area
We have an office in San Francisco, and we meet clients there by appointment — but our clients aren't limited to one zip code, or even to in-person meetings. Over 40 years, Frank Dorsey has worked with individuals, families, and business owners across the city and throughout the greater Bay Area, in person and by virtual consultation. Wherever you're based, if you work in or around San Francisco, there's a good chance we can help — in the office or from wherever you are.
In-Person or Virtual — Whichever Works for You
We know schedules are tight and offices aren't always convenient, so we meet clients however works best for them. Come by our San Francisco office for an in-person meeting, or handle everything by video call, phone, and secure document sharing from wherever you are. Either way, you get the same personal attention and year-round planning.
San Francisco
Our home base. We work with clients across the city, from downtown and SoMa to the neighborhoods further out — many of them working professionals at companies headquartered or based in the city, in healthcare, tech, and public-sector roles who want a tax preparer who actually knows the local cost of living, San Francisco's business and property tax rules, and how California's tax code interacts with a city-sized paycheck.
East Bay (Oakland, Berkeley & Alameda)
A significant part of our client base commutes from Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda into San Francisco each day — which often means navigating city business taxes, multi-jurisdiction considerations, and the kind of income complexity that comes with a dual-county household. We handle East Bay clients remotely just as thoroughly as we do in-office visits, with the same year-round planning approach.
The Peninsula (San Mateo, Redwood City, South San Francisco & Daly City)
For clients working at companies along the Peninsula tech corridor, equity compensation, RSUs, and multi-state considerations are often part of the picture. We help Peninsula-based professionals plan around bonus timing, stock vesting, and retirement contributions well before tax season starts.
Marin County (San Rafael, Mill Valley & Sausalito)
Marin clients often come to us for a mix of personal tax planning and small business or rental property considerations. We work with Marin-based professionals and business owners both remotely and by appointment.
South Bay & Silicon Valley
We also support clients working at South Bay and Silicon Valley employers who live and file in California
Remote Clients, Anywhere in California
Not near San Francisco? We work with clients throughout California by phone, video, and secure document sharing — so distance from our office is rarely a reason not to work together.
Why Location Still Matters for Your Taxes
Even in a remote-friendly world, where you live and work affects your taxes: San Francisco's local business tax rules, California's state income tax, multi-state filings for hybrid workers, and Bay Area property and rental tax considerations all require someone who actually knows this region — not a generic national tax prep chain. That local knowledge is exactly what four decades in San Francisco gives us.
