In addition to clerical and support staff, our office currently employs two Enrolled Agents (“EA”). An enrolled agent is a person who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service, like attorneys and CPAs. Enrolled Agent is the highest credential the IRS awards. Individuals who obtain this elite status must adhere to ethical standards and complete 72 hours of continuing education courses every three years.
