Trustber introduces a planning-first, compliance-driven advisory model for high-income individuals and small businesses.

Austin, Texas, United States, 5th Feb 2026 – Trustber, a modern CPA firm founded by former IRS Revenue Agent and Certified Public Accountant Olu Oyewale, today announced its official launch with a singular focus: helping high-income individuals and small businesses design audit-defensible tax strategies through proactive planning, clean financial systems, and compliance-first advisory.

Unlike traditional tax practices that emphasize seasonal tax preparation, Trustber separates tax strategy from tax filing, offering clients year-round planning services built around structure, documentation, and long-term optimization.

“Most taxpayers don’t overpay because they miss deductions,” said Olu Oyewale. “They overpay because no one helped them design a strategy before the transactions occurred. Trustber was built to change that.”

Trustber’s methodology is shaped by Olu Oyewale’s experience inside the Internal Revenue Service, where she evaluated tax returns, documentation, and taxpayer systems. That insider perspective informs the firm’s emphasis on defensibility – ensuring that tax positions are supported by proper classification and documentation.

“Trust is earned through clarity and defensibility,” Olu Oyewale added. “Our mission is to help clients feel confident about their numbers, not hopeful.”

Trustber provides proactive tax planning, audit-readiness assessments, clean and compliant bookkeeping, entity optimization, and cost segregation advisory. The firm primarily serves high-earning professionals, entrepreneurs, and real estate investors nationwide.

Celebrity Partnership with Howie Mandel and World-Class Advisory Board with 200+ Combined Years from Coca-Cola, Walmart, and UNFI to Drive National Expansion of Revolutionary Sugar Replacement

United States, 5th Feb 2026 – Jaca, the first mainstream allulose brand delivering 100% taste parity with conventional sugar and having 90% fewer calories, today announced the opening of its $5 million Series A funding round at a $20 million pre-money valuation. The company is seeking investment from accredited investors to accelerate national market penetration of allulose, a rare, naturally-occurring sugar that 85% of Americans have never heard of, directly addressing the urgent need for a metabolically safe sugar replacement in a market where obesity-related healthcare costs including indirect economic impact exceed $1.79 trillion annually.

The raise positions Jaca to capitalize on a rapidly closing first-mover window. While 77% of Americans actively seek to reduce sugar intake, conventional sugar maintains 95% market dominance due to taste superiority over existing alternatives. Allulose represents the first molecular equivalent to sucrose (meaning it tastes like traditional sugar) with zero glycemic impact (making it Diabetic & Keto friendly), FDA GRAS approval, and clinical validation for activating GLP-1 appetite control pathways and fat-burning mechanisms.

“Jaca represents the rare convergence of blue-ocean market opportunity with de-risked execution,” said Pete Ferrari, Founder and President of Healthy For Life Foods. “We’ve established compelling commercial traction, including a 13.79% repeat purchase rate versus the 3-5% industry average and Amazon bestseller status, while realizing zero major brand competition. Our proprietary AI-native customer acquisition infrastructure is something not seen across the entire eComm industry and this meets our product portfolio at the precise moment consumer health consciousness is reaching critical mass.”

AI-Native Technology Infrastructure 

Jaca has deployed the Joint Adaptive Capture Architecture (JACA). This is an AI-powered intent capture and customer acquisition system comprising more than 200 search-optimized pages across 14 schema types, 5 authority engines, and 4 optimization disciplines. The architecture positions Jaca for traditional search (SEO), generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), and large language model optimization (LLMO), future-proofing organic customer acquisition against the AI revolution.

The company was selected as 1 of only 50 organizations to participate in Oracle’s NetSuite Accelerator Program, implementing full API integration with Shopify, Amazon, financial institutions, and supply chain providers since Day 1. This enterprise infrastructure ensures data integrity, operational scalability, and financial transparency from inception. This is a critical differentiator for strategic partners.

Celebrity Partnership Drives Mass Market Credibility

Jaca’s partnership with Howie Mandel – entertainment icon and health advocate – provides unparalleled national awareness and retail credibility. The collaboration includes 2,500+ media placements spanning streaming channel platforms, billboards, and podcasts, alongside the branded anthem “Sweet Like Jaca” on Spotify. Mandel’s authentic health journey resonates with the 74% of Americans struggling with weight management, translating celebrity influence into measurable commercial traction.

World-Class Advisory Board Spans Coca-Cola, Walmart, Ocean Spray, and JP Morgan

Jaca has assembled a Senior Leadership Council representing over 200 combined years of executive presence across regulatory affairs, distribution, product development, private equity, and financial strategy, including: the former Chief Science Officer at Coca-Cola, with advisory roles at the FDA, USDA, and CDC, providing regulatory and scientific authority, a Senior Vice President at UNFI (the largest U.S. natural grocery products distributor) delivering distribution and retail expertise, the inventor and category creator of Craisins for Ocean Spray with 40+ years of food and beverage expertise, the Founder and CEO of a Private Equity firm versed in M&A strategy, and, a Wharton MBA who established JP Morgan’s Southeast Asian operations and served as economic advisor to the Kingdom of Thailand.

Capital Will Prioritize Advertising  

The $5 million Series A monies will be strategically deployed across five key areas: 67% toward advertising and customer acquisition; 13% for payroll and talent expansion; 9% for inventory and supply chain optimization; 8% for general and administrative operations; and 3% for R&D and product innovation. The capital structure is designed to support robust projected revenue growth over the next 3 years.

Purpose-Driven Ecosystem  

Beyond product innovation, Jaca has invested more than a year in developing the SuperSelf Lifestyle Enrichment Program, a comprehensive suite of free health and wellbeing resources including a podcast series and four educational modules covering lifestyle audits, nutrition, fitness, and metabolic analysis. The goal is to help everyone, everywhere, find a pathway to better Health & Wellbeing.  

The company’s established 501(c)(3), The Foundation for Nutritional Equality, combats child hunger in America and a portion of Jaca’s profit supports this truly meaningful endeavor.

About Jaca

Jaca is the first mainstream allulose brand delivering 100% taste parity with conventional sugar having 90% fewer calories and zero glycemic impact. The company’s diversified product portfolio spans granulated rare sugar, ready-to-drink beverages, energy products, and functional wellness SKUs. Headquartered in Florida, Jaca combines proprietary AI-native customer acquisition infrastructure with a celebrity partnership, world-class advisory board, and purpose-driven community ecosystem. The company is positioned to capture a large piece of the $22 billion sugar alternative market where 85% of Americans remain unaware of allulose. For more information, visit www.jacasugar.com.

The United Kingdom experienced a 2.26% increase in real house prices over the decade. The United States recorded 32.69% real growth, while Australia saw a 21.86% increase.
