ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Krysta O'Shea Hernandez

Krysta has built her career specializing in sales and use tax. Working across public and private sectors, she has supported organizations ranging from growing businesses to one of the world's largest financial institutions. Her expertise includes multistate sales and use tax compliance, audit management, tax technology, compliance strategy, and process improvement. She has built a reputation for translating complex tax issues into practical, business-focused solutions that help clients reduce risk while supporting growth.

Krysta founded The MarshLine Group as a Financial Operations Advisory practice with Sales & Use Tax at its core — and bookkeeping as the discipline that keeps every tax decision grounded. She believes businesses deserve a trusted advisor who is proactive, responsive, and invested in their success — not just someone who files returns. Whether assisting with taxability questions, audit defense, process improvements, or multistate tax challenges, she is committed to providing thoughtful guidance tailored to each client's unique business.

When she's not working with clients, Krysta enjoys spending time with her family, exploring Northeast Florida, and staying involved in the ever-changing world of state and local tax.

The journey

01The Compliance Floor

Fortune 500 return preparation.

Krysta cut her teeth at a national compliance firm, preparing and filing sales and use tax returns for multiple Fortune 500 companies. Thousands of jurisdictions, tight monthly cycles, and no room for error — the foundation every indirect tax career should be built on.

02Corporate In-House

Nexus for a national staffing operator.

Moving in-house, she owned the sales and use tax nexus question across the United States and Canada — a service-based industry where the taxability answer changes at nearly every border. It taught her how the theoretical rules meet real operational data.

03Enterprise Ownership

Sole owner of US Indirect Tax at a Global Financial Services Leader.

Most recently, Krysta owned the entire US indirect tax function at a global financial services industry leader — from sales and use tax to foreign vendor withholding — as the single subject-matter expert for the region.
