FAQ’s

What is an EA?
An EA is an Enrolled Agent. It’s the only federally licensed tax practitioner.
Like a CPA?
A CPA is licensed by a state, and can specialize in accounting, audits, and business financials. They don’t necessarily specialize in taxes — whereas an Enrolled Agent is a tax expert with unlimited representation rights before the IRS.
Why choose an EA?
EAs are federally licensed tax experts who specialize in:
  • Tax return preparation
  • IRS audits & correspondence
  • Back taxes & payment plans
  • Tax planning & compliance
  • Multi-state & small-business solutions
How much does tax preparation cost in Portland?
As an EA, we are more cost effective than a CPA and have the same unlimited tax practicing rights. We offer transparent pricing, so you are never surprised by your bill. You can find our per-form pricing on our Services and Pricing Page.
Do you Accept new clients?
Yes, we are currently accepting new clients.
Do you work with self employed and small businesses?
I am passionate about small businesses and self employed individuals, and I love to work with both.
