Our Story
We began as a mother-daughter tax firm specializing in equity compensation.
We’ve recently expanded to serve clients with international tax issues.
In 1988, Randy started her own tax firm in downtown Seattle, which grew to over 800 individual tax clients, as well as many trusts and corporations. In 2011, Randy sold the firm with the intention of doing more art and community activism and spending more time with her family.
In 2013, Randy’s daughter, Deva, had a different idea — a request that Randy pass the baton and teach her tax. Ever entrepreneurial, and apparently not at all ready to retire, Randy was thrilled and opened a new firm to teach Deva with real-world experience. Randy and Deva have since become business partners and renamed the firm Joseph & Hetrick, LLC.
In 2026, with Randy’s retirement on the horizon, we welcomed two new owners: Ariana Swan and Kenny Kim. Ariana and Kenny have a dual expertise in equity compensation and US Expat and Inpat Tax Services. Navigating international issues can be challenging, and our growing firm is excited to offer guidance and strategy in this new space!
Meet the Team
Deva Hetrick,
EA
Co-Owner and Tax Advisor
Pronouns: she/her
Deva is not the typical accountant. Before becoming an Enrolled Agent, she received a BA in Studio Art at Colorado College. She then became a professional poker player for several years, traveling for live tournaments and cash games as well as playing online. In 2013, she undertook the study of federal income tax law, mentored by Randy. Deva loves that the tax profession, like poker, blends math and strategy with a human component. Her favorite part is getting to know each client and helping them transform stress into calm.
Deva spends most of her free time with her husband and son working in the garden, adventuring outside, and creating art. She is also dedicated to supporting good causes like Mercy for Animals, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and the It Gets Better Project.

Kenny Kim, CPA
Co-Owner and Tax Advisor
Pronouns: he/him
Kenny always likes to balance preparation/stability with exploration/new experiences. He got a bachelor’s degree in business (accounting and marketing) at the University of Washington in 2009. At the time, you needed 5 years’ worth of credits to sit for the CPA exam, which he had from taking so many classes in other majors. After graduating, he passed the CPA exam while working as a field auditor for the IRS.
After a year, he moved to South Korea for three years. There, he worked in non-accounting roles, where he did anything from teaching English to writing conversational responses for consumer electronics and testing fitness wearables.
He later returned to the University of Washington to earn a Master’s in Taxation. He spent over a decade as a tax professional at Deloitte.

After graduating, she worked in film and television, gaining experience in fast-paced, detail-oriented environments. After a few years in the industry, she returned to Seattle and shifted her focus toward accounting, earning her Master’s in Accountancy from Gonzaga University.
Following graduate school, Ariana joined Deloitte, where she spent nearly a decade working with individuals on complex tax matters, with a particular focus on international mobility. Her work involved helping clients navigate the tax implications of cross-border moves, often involving major life changes.
Outside of work, Ariana enjoys spending time with her four-year-old son and relaxing with a knitting project.

Although Randy began in the arts with a degree in theatre performance, she quickly followed her father’s footsteps and started working at the IRS as a tax auditor. After 4 years, she went back to school at UCLA for her accounting and tax credits, and then went to work for a CPA firm in Los Angeles. There she absorbed the culture of excellence, solid thinking & research, as well as the importance of kindness and close attention to clients. She and her husband moved to Seattle, where she opened and ran her own tax firm for 23 years before starting Joseph & Hetrick, LLC with her daughter, Deva.
Community activism is a big part of Randy’s life, mostly centered around Kadima and her social justice work. She is passionate about reading, the arts, and the whole foods plant-based lifestyle. The rest of her free time is spent with her wonderful husband, two daughters, and four grandchildren.

Joshua Bilbrey, CPA
Tax Associate
Pronouns: they/them
After years of dedicated study and nerve wracking exams, Joshua is officially a CPA! They have been with Joseph & Hetrick for over 3 years and are incredibly grateful for their supportive and joyful colleagues.
Since moving from New Mexico in 2019—where they earned a BBA in Accounting—Joshua has fallen in love with Seattle. The sight of moss on trees, a misty sprinkle, or a lake just waiting for someone to paddleboard across still gives them butterflies! When they are not exploring the world in places like Cambridge, Beijing, and Sydney, you will find them enjoying life in the city: running, thrifting, dancing, and most often, exploring another of Seattle’s and King County’s combined 77 library branches.

Valerie Moseley, CPA
Tax Advisor
Pronouns: she/her
Like Randy and Deva, Valerie came to tax after a background in the arts, including music, theatre, and dance. A “day job” sparked her interest in accounting, leading her to earn her CPA license and work with Randy for several years, eventually heading up the business department of that firm. Valerie later ran her own tax, bookkeeping, and payroll practice for eight years. She now works with the J&H team on special projects, research, and tax preparation reviews, alongside running her own specialty practice that focuses on providing tax advice to businesses and their owners. She also shares her expertise through speaking engagements and continuing education for accounting professionals in the Seattle area.
After hours, you’re likely to find her on the yoga mat or in the kickball field.

Client Testimonials
Randy and Deva are excellent to work with! Over the years, they have helped us navigate complicated matters with humility in a way that is easy for us to understand. We have been working with them for many years and value their relationship greatly. They provide wonderful one on one personal service that is hard to come by these days. They are great people and you cannot go wrong working with them!
Deva prepared my taxes for the first time this year, and was extremely thorough -- including going back through a couple of past years' returns and avoiding several key mistakes I would have made. She provided thoughtful explanations and advice for future years, especially around equity compensation and capital gains.
Kenny made our complicated tax situation feel easy. He handled everything efficiently, including some unusual challenges, and delivered a quick turnaround. Knowledgeable and professional — we’re grateful to have found him!
After a recent job change introduced us to equity compensation, my partner and I decided to seek professional tax help. We are so glad we found Joseph & Hetrick! Deva was so helpful and friendly. Our taxes were done in record time with a better refund than we expected. She also answered all our questions and made sure we are planning appropriately for the coming year.
Deva and Randy have been an incredible resource and partner over the last few years... What I value most is that they are always thinking one step ahead and asking the questions I may not have considered in order to save me headaches (and money!) down the line. Their firm has great connections in the community to other business resources as well, including attorneys, etc.
My wife and I have been working with Deva and Randy for quite a few years now, and they are an absolute delight to work with: Incredibly warm and responsive, super organized and thorough, and you always know they are working tirelessly and creatively on your behalf. They work with my brother’s family now, too, and it’s a great feeling to have them with you through so many life (and tax) changes — new jobs, house, new baby. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Forget everything you expect from a tax advisor. I’ve worked with several, and Deva is none of those things! Her approach is personable, practical and non-judgmental (messy bookkeeping and all). Working with her took the stress out of what would have been a pretty complicated tax return and it was SO worth it.
As recently retired business owners, my wife and I needed the guidance of someone smart, detail oriented, and fully knowledgeable of the complicated aspects of tax preparation. We’ve found Ariana who has gone well beyond meeting our needs! I’m thoroughly pleased with her performance, superior service and expertise. Looking forward to continually using her services and advice!
I really couldn't be happier with my experience working with Deva (the Hetrick side of Joseph & Hetrick) last year. My mom died in 2019, and as the executor of my mother's estate I really didn't know how to handle her taxes... I would absolutely recommend Joseph & Hetrick to anyone (I have already been singing their praises outside of online reviews), and you should have supreme confidence working with them. If I could rate them higher than 5 stars I would.
Randy and Deva were referred to me by a wonderful friend and I'm forever grateful. Their expert knowledge, clear instructions, designed process and attention to detail is incredible!
Randy and Deva are knowledgeable, reliable, responsive and great communicators. We are so grateful to have them on our family's team.
Joseph & Hetrick have been my tax preparers for years and they are fantastic. They are very thorough and detail-oriented and very good at explaining the tax consequences of my decisions. Randy has also been invaluable in my life for accountability. She really cares about my financial future, and, although she's very patient and gentle, I feel like I don't want to disappoint her by not contributing to my IRA/TSP/HSA, so I have become a much better retirement saver because of her. I also love how modern and digital their system is; it makes it much easier for me to get them my documents and to get my return filed easily.
Kenny and Ariana really understand both U.S. and international tax issues and explained everything clearly. They made the process so much easier so go to them if you need help with your taxes but especially if you have cross-border taxes!
I have worked with Randy for years now and she has done a great job on my taxes. She is very responsive and helpful with providing personalized tax strategy recommendations. I am very happy to have Randy helping out with my taxes.
We've been using Joseph & Hetrick for a few years now, and I'm always delighted by just how responsive and professional they are throughout the entire tax season. What started out as me needing tax advice has turned into a pleasant tax preparation process that invariably includes great advice from Deva on how to reduce future tax surprises. I plan to be a recurring client for years to come.
Working with Deva and Randy was an absolutely wonderful experience. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Extremely thorough and efficient in submitting my tax return. I cannot thank them enough for their work and I look forward to working with them in the future
