Eric Broughton

Eric is anything BUT your "typical" tax professional!

A true extrovert, Eric enjoys connecting with his clients to genuinely understand them and their unique tax and financial situation. His goal for his clients is to pay their fair share in taxes and nothing more. 

 

He uses this insight to find ways to best apply the tax code and design a customized tax strategy to save as much as is legally allowable under the current tax code. 

 

Born in Northern California, Eric is an avid gamer at heart and a natural problem solver. He enjoys spending time with his family and working alongside his wife and business partner, Melissa. He is also a proud papa of their oldest son, a US Marine.

Melissa Broughton

As founder of Busy Bee Advisors, Melissa brings a smile to every part of her work.  Never one to miss the chance to laugh, she knows that a little humor can go a long way in educating and encouraging clients through complex, even frustrating, bookkeeping situations.

 

Her background in corporate accounting and auditing complements her desire to serve as a financial translator, of sorts, to sole proprietors and small business owners so that they feel confident in their financial decisions.  

 

Melissa is a member of Business Network International, Rotary, FU Nights, Women in Consulting, and previously served as finance chair on the Sacramento Children’s Receiving Home Board of Directors.

 

She and her husband Eric enjoy working together and live in Sacramento with their youngest son and dog. She is also a proud mom of a US Marine.
