She is passionate about educating her clients how the tax laws apply to their particular tax situation and training them to be fiscally responsible.  She loves to train her clients to use QuickBooks and provides ongoing training and consulting. She believes the more involved in the financial end of the business her clients are the better an understanding they have to measure their business financial success.

Having successfully completed coursework covering all variances of examinations, audits, collections and appeals, and having studied best practices and role-playing, Fellows know the entire representation process from both the client and IRS perspective. While earning the EA license denotes competence and the right to represent taxpayers, Fellows have made the commitment to a higher level of knowledge and excellence which further sets them apart. The course, open only to enrolled agents, CPAs and tax attorneys, was developed to prepare licensed representatives to protect their clients’ rights by disseminating the most recent information about IRS laws and procedures critical to representation.
