Who We Are
Built for High-Income Clients. Built for the Future.
Praesidium was created with a clear purpose: standard tax preparation simply does not work for clients paying $30,000 or more in taxes.
Praesidium Tax Advisory celebrated its one-year anniversary in April 2026 — but the mission behind it has been building for over a decade. Every engagement is custom-built around your income structure, your business, and your long-term financial vision.
- Legally sound. Ethically grounded. Masterfully implemented.
- Year-round strategic partnership — not just tax season.
- Custom-built around your income structure and vision.
Sister Company
VIP Financial Enterprise Inc., NFP
VIP Financial Enterprise Inc., NFP came first. Founded in January 2017 to serve underserved communities, VIP Financial Enterprise Inc., NFP is our nonprofit sister organization — the heart and foundation behind everything we do.
Our Leadership
The Architects Behind Your Strategy.
A mother and her daughters — united by a decade of service, a shared mission, and an uncompromising standard of excellence.
Shuntel L. Oladokun
President / CEO · Chief Tax Architect
Shuntel is the founder and driving force behind both VIP Financial Enterprise Inc., NFP — established in January 2017 to serve underserved communities — and Praesidium Tax Advisory, built for six and seven-figure earners who demand more than standard tax preparation. With over a decade of experience engineering proactive tax strategies, she has helped clients collectively save millions in unnecessary tax liability. Her approach is architectural: she doesn't file taxes, she designs financial futures. What makes Praesidium truly unique is that it is a family-built firm — Shuntel leads alongside her daughters, bringing the same values of trust, loyalty, and legacy to every client engagement.
Hillarie Sinclare Baoku
Vice President · Senior Tax Strategist
Hillarie joined the family mission while still in college in 2016 — long before Praesidium existed — working alongside her mother at VIP Financial Enterprise Inc., NFP and growing into one of the firm's most trusted strategists. She brings surgical precision and deep technical fluency to every client engagement, specializing in business tax optimization, entity structuring, and multi-state compliance. Her clients range from 6-figure W-2 earners to 7-figure business owners, and they all share one thing: they pay less than they did before working with her.
Latifat Maia Kaitlain Ijaoba
Junior Vice President · Client Relations Specialist
Latifat has been part of this mission since she was 11 years old — growing up inside VIP Financial Enterprise Inc., NFP and learning the business from the ground up alongside her mother and sister. Today she is the connective tissue between the leadership team and every client Praesidium serves. She ensures that from the moment you engage with us, your experience is seamless, personal, and elite. With deep roots in client success and financial services, Latifat manages onboarding, coordinates strategy sessions, and makes certain no detail — or deadline — is ever missed.
