How We Started

A Partnership Born Out of Purpose

In the world of glitz, glamor, and athletic prowess, managing financial success becomes as crucial as earning it. Recognizing a glaring gap in the market, Louis Barajas and Marcus Moreno embarked on a mission to transform the financial destinies of Latino entertainers and athletes. Louis, Business Manager and Enrolled Agent renowned for his work with Latin entertainers, and Marcus, a seasoned Business Manager for professional athletes and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), noticed a troubling trend: a lack of representation and support for Latinos in the realm of tax and business planning.

They observed that too many talented individuals were navigating their financial journeys without the guidance they desperately needed. The consequence? Significant debts to the IRS, missed opportunities for wealth maximization, and the looming risk of financial ruin long after the spotlight fades. It was a cycle Louis and Marcus saw repeated far too often—Latino entertainers and athletes earning substantial incomes but lacking the strategic advice to safeguard and grow their wealth effectively.

Driven by a shared passion to rewrite this narrative, Louis and Marcus joined forces with a clear objective: to ensure that Latino entertainers and athletes are equipped with the knowledge and tools to make informed, smart business decisions. Their vision was to create a platform where financial excellence is not just a possibility but a given.

US-LATAM Tax Group was founded on this principle. Louis and Marcus’s partnership is more than a business endeavor; it’s a commitment to empowering their community, ensuring that their clients not only achieve financial success but sustain it. By providing expert tax advice, strategic business planning, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges their clients face, US-LATAM Tax Group stands as a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of purpose-driven partnership.
