About Jesse Stockwell
Jesse Stockwell
CO-FOUNDER, MANAGING PARTNER
One of the great joys experienced by being a founder of Optima Tax Relief is being surrounded by such a dedicated, intelligent, and driven team of professionals that truly believe in our mission. I have spent the last 25 years of my career working in consumer finance and the most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that surrounding yourself with great people ultimately means delivering great results. The entire Optima team, from its most senior managers to its most entry-level staff, are people that I am extremely proud to be working with – the results we achieve for our clients are a direct reflection of that.
Shortly following my graduation, however, I became a jobless victim of the dot-com crash, which unfortunately reshaped the goals I set for myself. It was tough living on a very small budget, staying with friends, repaying my school loans and even affording a decent meal. However, during this time I really began to see how people from all walks of life had very little knowledge of the very basics in financial education, tax planning, savings, money management and even health insurance. In particular, it became very clear to me that a huge segment of the marketplace was not being offered solutions to their wants, needs and goals. With that in mind, I set out to work with consumers directly who could benefit most from what I had to offer.
It was just a few months before 9/11 back in 2001 where I was forced to set out on my own after the entire industry I was involved fell on some exceedingly difficult times. I recognized then that trying to make a difference helping individual consumers rather than large corporations would be a much more fulfilling career.

“I can confirm that our tax attorneys and CPAs are seeing both an increase in the number and complexity of tax resolution cases they are working on… With so much confusion surrounding the IRS tax codes, hiring a professional is not only recommended, but essential. Without trusted advice, you could potentially be paying thousands more than what you really owe – and that’s a lot more painful than the fees associated with professional services.” — Jesse Stockwell
