About Us
A Message From Our Founder
Open Play Advisory was founded with one mission in mind: to give college athletes the financial tools and support they need to thrive—on and off the field.
I’m a licensed CPA with years of experience in high-level finance and accounting, but I didn’t start this firm to be just another tax guy. I started Open Play because I saw a gap that was getting bigger by the day. As NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals exploded, student-athletes were suddenly earning real money—but without real financial guidance. From taxes and multi-state compliance to budgeting and saving, many athletes and their families were being thrown into the deep end with no playbook.
That’s where we come in.
Open Play is built on the belief that college athletes deserve more than generic advice or once-a-year tax help. They need a trusted partner—someone who understands the rules, speaks their language, and genuinely has their back. Whether it’s your first NIL deal or your fifth, we’ll work with you step by step to help you stay compliant, build smart habits, and make decisions that set you up for long-term success.
This isn’t just a job for me—it’s personal. I love working with athletes because I see the drive, discipline, and potential they bring to the table. I believe that if you’re putting in the work to succeed in your sport, you deserve a financial teammate who’s just as committed to your future.
At Open Play, we don’t just file your taxes and disappear. We get to know you. We explain things clearly. We work alongside your family, your agent, or your collective to make sure you’re protected and prepared. We’re not your average accounting firm—and that’s exactly the point.
Whether you're signing your first NIL deal, navigating a multi-state income situation, or just trying to figure out how to manage it all—we’re here for you.
