Work With Us
Small Firm.
Experienced Team.
We are a full-service accounting firm specializing in tax preparation and small business accounting. We deliberately stay small. That is not a limitation; it is a choice. Small means every client gets our full attention, not a junior associate who just passed their exam last month.
The Enrolled Agent designation is not common. It requires passing a rigorous three-part IRS examination and maintaining ongoing education. It means we are federally licensed to represent any taxpayer before the IRS on any tax matter. CPAs and attorneys can do this too, but an Enrolled Agent's entire focus is federal taxation. It is what we do.
We serve Sarasota and Manatee counties, including the Lakewood Ranch area. If you are local and want a firm that will actually pick up the phone and explain your return line by line, we are a good fit.
The Enrolled
Agent Advantage
Licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before the IRS, unlimited practice rights.
Unlike general accountants, an EA's entire scope of practice centers on taxation at the federal level.
Required by law to complete ongoing IRS-approved education to maintain enrollment status. Our knowledge stays current.
We can represent you in audits, appeals, and collection matters. You do not have to face the IRS alone.
What You Can Expect
Straight Talk
We explain your return in plain English, not tax jargon. You will understand what was filed and why.
Accuracy First
We do not rush to meet volume quotas. Your return gets the time it needs to be done correctly.
Year-Round Access
We are not a seasonal pop-up. You can reach us throughout the year for questions and planning.
Proactive Planning
We look ahead, not just at last year. Strategy sessions help you reduce what you owe before it is too late.
Local Roots
We are based in Sarasota and have been here for 18+ years. We know this community and how local businesses operate.
