Where Inheritance Ends and Ownership Begins
We envision a world where financial literacy is passed down like family recipes, and where luxury is not reserved for the few, but reclaimed by those who were never taught they could want it. Where the children of immigrants are no longer just surviving, but thriving—leading businesses with clarity, confidence, and care.

Dalia Tax & Business Advisors is a women-led, bilingual financial firm helping daughters of immigrants and legacy builders turn generational pressure into generational power.
Founded in 1983 by Dalia was born on her mother’s kitchen table and 25 years ago Marilyn took her mother’s vision to a now powerhouse of possibility, joy, and unapologetic clarity. We blend 40+ years of expertise with modern systems and deep cultural fluency to transform inherited businesses into thriving, values-aligned legacies.
We believe bookkeeping is not just paperwork—it’s a portal.
We use spreadsheets the way some use journals.
We use financial tools not to judge, but to liberate.
We use cash flow tracking to help you design a life that reflects your vision—not just your obligations.
This isn’t cleanup. It’s transformation.
You’re getting your business re-engineered for ease, elevation, and legacy—with structure that supports you, strategy that grows you, and a team that sees the whole you.
Dalia. Legacy, Rewritten.

Meet Marilyn, your trusted financial confidant and business bestie—the one who helps you break up with chaos and glow up your entire life.
Hey, you.
Yes, you — the one out there building, dreaming, and doing the most. You’ve got a million ideas, a business with a heartbeat, and maybe a few spreadsheets giving you side-eye. If you’re here, you’re probably not just looking for a tax pro. You’re looking for a partner. A business bestie. Someone who just gets it.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Marilyn, and while I didn’t start this firm, I definitely made it my own. I inherited a business full of potential (and a few messes, let’s be honest), and I rolled up my sleeves to turn it into something that reflects who I am — driven, down-to-earth, and deeply committed to helping other business owners feel powerful and protected in their finances.
My Story
Taking over my mother’s firm wasn’t just about continuing a legacy — it was about rewriting it. I brought my vision, my voice, and my systems to the table. I modernized the old-school ways, built trust with a new generation of clients, and created a space where people could show up as their whole selves — questions, chaos, and all.
I know how overwhelming it can feel to manage both your passion and the paperwork. I’ve lived it. And that’s why I’m here — to make sure you don’t have to do it alone.
How I Work
You won’t find copy-paste advice here. I take the time to get to know you — your goals, your stress points, and the wins you’re chasing. I mix financial strategy with big-picture business support. I’m the kind of person who brings structure to your swirl, turns your “I think I can” into “I know I can,” and makes sure every dollar has a job and every deadline is met with calm, not chaos.
Get ready for deep-hearted conversations, powerful after-session reflections, and a whole lot of healing—around money, family dynamics, and the legacy you’re here to create.
Why This Collaboration Is Important
Because you’re building something real and I believe you deserve to live in your truth while doing it. Something that deserves more than a seasonal tax appointment and a few generic emails.
It’s time you had someone in your corner that:
- Sees the whole business — not just the numbers
- Helps you make proactive moves, not reactive scrambles
- Translates tax code into plain language (with receipts, if needed)
- Cheers you on like a friend, protects you like a partner, and thinks ahead like a boss
If you’re tired of trying to figure it all out solo, or if you’ve outgrown your current support — I’ve got you.
Let’s Build Together
This isn’t just business. This is legacy work. And I’m here to help you do it with confidence, clarity, and maybe a few laughs along the way.
With Dalia, Possibility Has a Plan.
Lovingly, (with accountability and no judgment),
Marilyn
