About Jayson Manahan
Jayson Manahan Aquino trained first as an accountant and later as a lawyer. He earned a B.S. in Accountancy from De La Salle University in 1998 and completed a Doctor of Law (J.D.) at William Howard Taft University in 2010. The combination of those credentials shapes the work he does now.
He became a Certified Public Accountant through the California Board of Accountancy in 2008. That credential preceded his law degree and continues to inform his approach to tax matters. After finishing law school he moved quickly to put both professions to use.
In 2010 Aquino founded the Tax Law Office of Jayson M. Aquino and took on the role of president and owner. The next year he began practicing law in California. His background in accountancy and his legal training give him an unusual vantage point in cases that turn on numbers as well as on legal interpretation.
Aquino’s practice centers on tax issues. He handles tax controversies, compliance work, and planning for individuals and business clients. Much of his work involves resolving disputes with tax authorities and advising on the tax implications of business decisions. He is comfortable in both the numbers and the law, a combination clients often need when audits or assessments arise.
Professional memberships reflect that dual identity. He has been listed as a lawyer since 2011 and as a Certified Public Accountant since 2008. Those affiliations underscore how his career bridges two regulated professions. They also shape the way his office evaluates problems: an eye for financial detail paired with attention to legal procedure.
The Tax Law Office of Jayson M. Aquino remains the base for his practice. He leads a small office focused on tax counseling and dispute resolution. Over time he has continued to handle tax litigation, settlement negotiations, and planning work for a range of taxpayers. He currently concentrates his practice on tax disputes, planning, and compliance for individuals and businesses.
