ABOUT
After staying at home with my Triplets for five years, I decided it was time to begin anew. Well, actually, my husband, Mark, encouraged me to go back to work. So, being the type that does nothing half-heartedly, in December of 2003, we bought and renovated the building that is now home to my CPA practice and Tyler Street Executive Suites. My Triplets are now in college, which gives me more time to serve my clients and community.
EXPERIENCE
My goal has always been to provide East Texas with affordable tax and accounting services. I have more than 20 years of progressive accounting and tax experience, and I am proficient with the most widely used software packages. I have owned a CPA practice since 1997.
My practice has consistently grown over the last few years. As with any business, the right kind of support staff can make or break the business. So, Liz Myers, an accounting graduate from The University of Texas at Tyler, was brought on board. She enables me to keep providing the personal service I strive to maintain for my clients.
I can provide all of your bookkeeping, financial and tax needs for both personal and business ventures. With over 20 plus years of experience in Accounting and Tax Preparation, if I have not run across your situation, I know where to look for the answers. Finances and Tax preparation are very complex. Give me a call and let me handle your monthly finances so when it is tax time, you are one step ahead of the game.
EDUCATION
My education includes a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from The University of Texas at Tyler. I graduated with a GPA of 3.1 on a 4.0 scale. In 1982, I earned an Associate of Applied Science in Accounting, and 1993, I earned an Associate of Applied Science in Banking from North Harris Montgomery Community District. I have over 300 hours of CPE (continuing professional education) focusing on tax related issues.
