Who We Are.
At Freedom Tax Solutions, my goal is simple: you don’t leave my office without understanding why you’re paying what you’re paying, and without your goals fulfilled. Since 1995, I’ve been helping clients face their tax challenges with confidence—whether it’s preparing income taxes, solving IRS problems, or applying expert strategies to keep more money in their pocket.
I’m an Enrolled Agent (EA), licensed by the U.S. Treasury nationwide, which means I can represent you before the IRS anywhere in the U.S. and its territories. Regardless of your location, we can successfully work together to resolve old tax problems, prepare simple to complex returns, and keep your accounting spick and span. Over the years, I’ve worked with everyone from farmers and fishers to contractors and caterers—each with their own unique situations. No matter who I’m serving, education is at the center of what I do. I take the time to explain every step in plain English, so you walk away knowing not just the what but the why.
As an Enrolled Agent, Leslie brings more than experience—she brings trust in the eyes of the IRS. EAs are federally licensed tax professionals who specialize exclusively in taxation, giving you an added layer of assurance that your returns are prepared accurately and strategically. Clients often find that working with an EA not only reduces stress but also lowers their audit risk, since the IRS recognizes and respects the authority of an EA.
What sets Freedom Tax Solutions apart is the focus on strategy. Taxes aren’t just about filling out forms—they’re about planning. I use proven tax strategies to help clients avoid unnecessary costs and build stronger financial futures. My flat-rate pricing means no surprises, and I see every case through from start to finish.

What is an Enrolled Agent?
The history of Enrolled Agents dates back to 1884 when Congress passed what’s known as the Horse Act of 1884. Signed into law by President Chester A. Arthur on July 7, 1884, the bill was created as a reaction to fraudulent war loss claims in the wake of the American Civil War. After the war, many citizens faced difficulties in settling claims with the government for property confiscated for use in the war effort, and many dubious claims were submitted by scam artists. As a result, Congress endowed enrolled agents with the power of advocacy to prepare claims against the government. A standard was created for enrolled agents that included suitability checks, criminal records check and a moral character evaluation.
