I started my professional tax career in 1999, at a large retail tax chain. I took advantage of every tax class that I was offered, worked my way up to Senior Tax Advisor and Assistant Manager at my office. I was doing close to 400 personal returns each year and had the highest rate of returning clients. Eventually I became an instructor there. I also took college courses and earned my associate degree in accounting. In 2017 I left there and started my own tax business, in addition to working full time outside my home. I doubled my clients each year, solely from word of mouth. I understand every aspect of the tax return, the beginning, the middle, and the end, which includes the filing of the tax return, federal, state and city. In December of 2022, I was fortunate to be hired here to do taxes full time, which had always been my dream, and now it’s my reality. I continue to learn every day; my colleagues are tremendously knowledgeable. I am in the Canfield, Ohio office, where I handle the local clients and businesses, as well as our clients all over the county. I address all IRS/State notices, meet with clients and electronically file/paper mail all returns that are complete. I do plan to take the Enrolled Agent Exam this fall, after tax season slows down. I love helping people, it is very rewarding for me. I love learning, and I love my work, I am grateful to be here and to know that I am an asset to this company.
