Frequently Asked Questions.

How much do your tax preparation and accounting services cost?

I offer a simple, flat-rate fee for most services—so there are no surprises. Each client’s situation is unique, and pricing depends on the complexity of your return or accounting needs. I also believe in being available when you need me, so I always answer my phone and never bill hourly for calls or questions from existing clients.

What’s the difference between an Enrolled Agent (EA) and a CPA for tax services?

An Enrolled Agent is a federally licensed tax professional authorized by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Unlike CPAs, EAs specialize exclusively in taxation—giving you expert support for income tax preparation, audits, and IRS problem resolution.

Do you work with clients outside of California?

Yes. While I’m based in Alturas and continue to serve Modoc County, I work with clients across the United States through secure online services. From tax preparation to forensic accounting, I provide the same trusted support no matter where you’re located.

What is forensic accounting and when would I need it?

Forensic accounting is the detailed examination of financial records to uncover discrepancies, fraud, or misuse of funds. I offer forensic accounting services in Alturas, CA, and remotely for clients nationwide—helping individuals, small businesses, and legal professionals gain clarity and evidence when financial questions arise.

Can you help if I owe back taxes or have IRS problems?

Absolutely. As an Enrolled Agent, I specialize in IRS problem resolution, helping clients who owe back taxes, have received IRS letters, or need help setting up payment plans. Whether you’re in Modoc County or across the U.S., I’ll work directly with the IRS on your behalf to find the best resolution possible.
