A tax return begins with a real life: work, family, ambition, and questions that deserve respect. Rasheeda wants people in her community to experience capable service without feeling talked down to or overlooked.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Rasheeda
S. Williams.
Founder, CEO & Tax Professional
Your Questions Deserve Clear Answers.
Your Next Step Deserves A Plan.
Rasheeda believes in Black excellence and competent representation—especially in the world of personal finance, where people deserve to feel understood, respected, and equipped to ask good questions.
Her purpose is to champion her community through careful tax work, clearer conversations, and opportunities for tax professionals to grow. Through Cima Tax Solutions, Cima Tax Pro, and Cima Tax Academy, she brings that purpose to the client experience, the professional community, and the learning journey.
For Rasheeda, excellence is more than a polished presentation. It is preparation, attention to detail, and the care she brings to an engagement on behalf of her clients.
COMMUNITY. PURPOSE. A PLAN.
Excellence That Meets People Where They Are.
Do The Detailed Work.
Her perfectionist streak shows up in the questions she asks, the details she checks, and the thought she gives to the next step. The aim is an experience that feels organized, attentive, and personal.
Build Beyond One Conversation.
Her plan connects individual service with a wider purpose: help clients understand the process, give aspiring tax professionals a clearer starting point, and keep practical learning within reach.
BEHIND THE POLISH
Exceptional Care.
A Real Person.
If the attention to detail makes you wonder whether there is a real person behind it all, meet Rasheeda. She takes that as a compliment to the care she puts into her work—and an invitation to make the experience personal.
She wants to understand your situation before discussing your next step. Bring the question you have been hesitating to ask. Tell her what feels confusing. The relationship starts with a conversation, not an expectation that you already know the answers.

Still Learning.
Always Doing The Work.
Rasheeda is tracking her own 10,000 hours: a personal commitment to deliberate practice, continued learning, and reflection. It is a way to stay accountable to the craft and to the people who place their trust in her.
That mindset shapes Cima’s plan: prepare carefully, explain clearly, stay curious, and put learning back into practice. Black excellence, for her, is a commitment to doing the work with competence, care, and community in mind.

Big Words.
Plain Answers.
You don’t have to know the vocabulary to belong here. Tap a term for a quick explanation, then ask us how it applies to you.
Service bureau
A business relationship that may combine access to tax software with onboarding, training, and support for other tax offices. The exact services, fees, and responsibilities depend on the written agreement. It is not, by itself, an IRS professional credential.
Reseller
A business that offers another company’s software under an authorized sales arrangement. Ask who supplies the software, who provides support, and which fees or restrictions apply.
Onboarding
The steps that get you ready to begin: reviewing your agreement, completing required account information, receiving approved access, and learning the workflow. An inquiry alone does not enroll you.
ERO
Electronic Return Originator: an authorized IRS e-file provider that starts the electronic submission of a tax return. This describes an e-file role, not a promise of tax expertise. Read the IRS definition ↗
PTIN & EFIN
A PTIN identifies an individual paid tax return preparer. An EFIN identifies an approved IRS e-file provider. They serve different purposes; having a PTIN does not itself authorize an office to e-file. Compare them at the IRS ↗
Professional tax software
Tools used to prepare and manage tax returns. Available features, supported returns, licensing, training, and support vary by product and package. Ask for a demonstration and written terms for the specific offer.
