Your CPA should feel like a teammate
I built SAS CPA around a simple idea: personal, collaborative tax and financial guidance for business owners and individuals in Reno | Truckee | Tahoe.
Hi, I'm Shalyn
I'm Shalyn Stelck, CPA and founder of SAS CPA.
My career spans both public accounting and industry, and I've worked with businesses of different sizes and across a range of industries. That experience has given me a broad perspective on how the pieces of a business fit together, from taxes and financial reporting to operations and the decisions behind the numbers.
I bring that perspective to every client relationship. Whether I'm working with an individual navigating their taxes or a business owner making a major decision, my goal is to be a trusted teammate who asks the right questions, looks ahead, and brings clarity to the numbers and confidence to the decisions that follow.
"I started SAS CPA because I wanted to work more directly with small business owners and make a meaningful impact in my community. I believe accounting should be more than reports and tax returns—it should give people the information and confidence they need to make better decisions."

I work directly with business owners and individuals to provide proactive tax planning, tax preparation, and financial guidance. My approach is personal and collaborative. I want you to understand your finances, feel comfortable asking questions, and have someone in your corner as your needs and goals evolve.
SAS CPA is based in Reno, a city I'm proud to call home. I grew up in Truckee and have spent much of my life in the Reno-Tahoe area, so building my firm here feels especially meaningful.
