Andre Shammas, an experienced tax preparer based in El Cajon, California, was recently featured in an exclusive online interview titled From Deadlines to Deductions: Inside the Everyday Expertise of Andre Shammas at Shammas Tax. Known for his calm, clear approach, Andre is helping individuals and small business owners manage taxes, budgeting, and financial planning without the confusion that often surrounds these topics.
In the interview, Andre shares how his personal journey as an immigrant shaped his understanding of financial systems and his approach to helping others. “My family worked hard,” Andre said. “We were learning everything from scratch. I saw how important it was to understand money, even basic things like saving receipts or tracking spending.”
At Shammas Tax and Shammas Bureau, Andre focuses on breaking down complex tax matters into simple, actionable steps. He highlights the importance of staying organized throughout the year, especially for self-employed professionals like freelancers and gig workers. “The biggest mistake I see is people waiting until the end of the year,” he explains. “They’re digging through drawers for receipts. That’s not a fun way to do taxes.”
Andre also emphasizes that poor recordkeeping can have real financial consequences, from missed deductions to IRS penalties. But he believes small, consistent habits can make a major difference. “These are things that don’t take a lot of time,” Andre says. “But they can save you a lot of money and stress.”
The interview explores how Andre views taxes not just as a yearly task, but as an opportunity to build something better for the future. “Taxes aren’t just a once-a-year thing,” he says. “If you plan ahead, you’re not just filing—you’re building something.”
Through his work with Shammas Tax and Shammas Bureau, Andre continues to focus on helping clients stay prepared, avoid panic during tax season, and feel confident about their financial choices. His goal remains simple but powerful: help people start where they are and move forward, one step at a time.
