Say hello to our Tax Senior, Braylee Cassavaugh, who’s been at CSD for over 6.5 years!

With a Bachelor’s degree in Public Accounting from Colorado Mesa University, Braylee brings both brains and heart to her role as Tax Senior.

Braylee’s favorite part of her job? It’s her passion for making taxes work for her clients. She thrives on getting to know the people behind the numbers — their businesses, their stories, their challenges — and collaborating with them to create personalized solutions.

Life outside of work is just as lively for Braylee. She’s a proud mama to two adorable little girls, one large dog, and a salamander (who's currently enjoying a hibernation, which Braylee doesn’t mind one bit 😄).
When she’s not balancing books, you can find Braylee spending time with family and friends, enjoying time outdoors, baking up something sweet, reading a good book, or working on a crafty project.

We’re beyond lucky to have someone as dedicated, genuine, and joyful as Braylee on the team.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act that was signed into law last month covered a wide range of topics including changes to exiting law and placed new laws into effect.
📣Here are a few changes to current law that will affect individual taxpayers:📣

👶The Child Tax Credit was increased from $2,000 per child to $2,200 for 2025. The refundable portion of that credit is $1,700 per child.

🚙Clean Vehicle Credits are terminated as of 09/30/2025. Please consider these changes when purchasing electric vehicles moving forward in 2025 and if you are looking to snag an EV credit, you will need to purchase a qualifying electric vehicle before 09/30/2025.

🧂The State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction was previously limited to $10,000, available as an itemized deduction on Schedule A of your 1040. For tax years 2025-2029, the SALT deduction limit has been increased to $40,000. Remember, to claim this deduction you must be using the itemized deduction calculated on schedule A as opposed to the standard deduction.

On Friday evening, our employees gathered at Las Colonias for our annual Family Fun Night—and it was a blast!
A big thank-you to The Little Pink Truck for serving up another delicious dinner and to Kodiaxe for keeping the fun going with their mobile axe-throwing trailer. Between the sunshine, sweet tea, sizzling steaks, and some friendly competition, the evening was full of smiles.
To all our amazing employees—thank you for everything you do. You’re what makes CSD such a great place to work!⭐️
