Melody Van Dusen
Melody Van Dusen leads Darby Tax Advisory with a belief that tax guidance should feel clear, personal, and grounded in the life behind the numbers.
Her approach brings seasoned perspective to the questions individuals and families face throughout the year, creating a thoughtful path forward when the details feel complex. She is based in Columbus, OH and mother to her vibrant 9 year-old daughter who shares the same middle name: Darby.
From complexity to clarity
Experience built in high-pressure moments.

Today, that same discipline serves individuals and families. Whether you are preparing an annual return, planning estimated payments, or navigating a new income stream or life event, Darby Tax Advisory helps you understand what matters and move forward with confidence.
