Denise is a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, a Certified Small Business Coach, and an IRS Enrolled Agent. Enrolled Agents are the only tax professionals tested and regulated by the IRS. An Enrolled Agent is licensed to practice by the Federal Government (US Treasury) in all fifty states and authorized to appear in place of taxpayers at the IRS.

Denise was appointed a National Tax Practice Institute Fellow,® completing a demanding three-part curriculum to effectively represent clients before all administrative levels of the IRS. While earning an EA license denotes competence in taxation and the right to represent taxpayers, Fellows have made the commitment to a higher level of knowledge and excellence further setting them apart.
