We help Pokémon trainers know exactly what they'll owe — so April is never a surprise.
The CPA the Pokémon
Community Trusts.
Lavender Town Accounting is the only firm built exclusively for Pokémon creators, competitors, and card investors. We know your world — and we make sure the IRS never catches you off guard.
Who we serve
Built for trainers who earn income from the game.
Most CPAs will file your return and have no idea what a Regional is, what a 1099-NEC from Twitch means, or why you have $40,000 moving through PayPal from card sales. We do. Lavender Town exists because the Pokémon community deserves an accountant who actually gets it.
For Creators
Content creators
YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, social media. Ad revenue, sponsorships, affiliate deals, merch. Most accountants treat you like a hobby. We don't.
We handle: Self-employment tax, quarterly estimated payments, deductions for equipment, software, home office, and event travel, and business entity advice.
For Competitors
GO · TCG · VGC
Grinding League Cups, Challenges, Regionals, and beyond. Prize money is taxable income — and so is sponsorship pay. A lot of your expenses are deductible too.
We handle: Prize income reporting, travel and entry fee deductions, sponsorship income, multi-state filing, and quarterly payments.
For Sellers
Card investors & sellers
Flipping singles, reselling sealed product, grading cards, running a shop. We make sure you know before the IRS does.
We handle: Sales tax compliance, cost basis tracking, hobby vs. business determination, inventory accounting, and entity setup.
What we offer
Straightforward services. Transparent pricing.
We keep our service menu focused so we can do each thing really well. No surprise invoices. No mystery pricing.
Tax preparation
Federal and state returns filed correctly — with your Pokémon income handled right from the start.
Personal $1,000 · Business $1,500
Tax planning
Most trainers don't think about taxes until April. We help you think about them in January, June, and October.

Bookkeeping
Monthly bookkeeping so your income and expenses stay organized year-round. No scrambling, no surprises.
Starting at $400/month
The free tool every Pokémon trainer earning income should be using.
We built a free accounting ledger specifically for Pokémon creators, competitors, and card sellers — with categories already set up for the way you actually earn and spend. Convention fees, selling fees, card purchases, event travel — it's all there.

Hey, I'm Kyle
CPA · Pokémon GO competitor · Trainer since 1998
I've been in this community my whole life. Sixth grade, 1998 — Pokémon Red on a grey brick Game Boy. Then Blue. Then Yellow. I collected cards through the Fossil set and competed in the TCG. Like a lot of people, life pulled me away for a while.
Then Pokémon GO dropped in 2016 and I was back — collecting again, getting my kids involved, and eventually competing. These days I'm a regular at League Cups and Challenges, and I've competed in three Regionals: Portland 2024 (#49 of 92), Portland 2025 (#65 of 106), and Seattle 2026 (#97 of 221). I'm not just watching from the sidelines. I'm in it.
I'm also a licensed CPA in Oregon, practicing since 2016. The longer I've been competing, the more I've noticed the same problem: trainers are earning real money and getting almost zero guidance on what to do about it. So I built the firm that should have existed already. When you work with me, you're not explaining the game to your accountant. Your accountant is already a trainer.
Are we a fit?
Lavender Town is for you if...
You earn income from the Pokémon space — prize money, content, card sales, or all three.
You're tired of explaining what a Regional is to your accountant.
You want to know what you owe before April — not when you open the envelope.
You want a CPA who's proactive, responsive, and actually part of this community.
Probably not the right fit if...
You have no Pokémon-related income and are looking for general personal tax prep.
You're outside the United States.
You want a once-a-year filer who disappears until next tax season.
