An enrolled agent is a person who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants (CPAs), are generally unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can practice before. In contrast, practice before the IRS is much more limited for other individuals such as unenrolled tax return preparers, family members, full time employees, partners, and corporate officers. Our enrolled agents have demonstrated special competence in tax matters by passing a written examination administered by the IRS, and have passed a background check with the Internal Revenue Service. Additionally, enrolled agents are required to maintain their skills by continuing education each year.   Client Satisfaction Our reputation is built upon a foundation of satisfied clients. Our goal is your complete satisfaction, nothing less. Whether we're preparing financial statements or tax returns, dealing with the IRS or providing any other assistance, we have your best interests in mind.
