Enrolled Agents are America's tax experts. They are the only federally-licensed tax practitioners who specialize in taxation and also have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the IRS. That means that if you get a letter from the IRS, or worse, are audited or are the target of a collection action, your Enrolled Agent can speak directly to the IRS on your behalf (same as a CPA). The key to success in business is having the ability to make informed timely business decisions.

Rest assured that when a need arises, our firm is ready and capable to handle everything for you so you can focus on what matters most to you.

We meet with you and discuss the issues at hand and advise you on the best strategy to take. Year-end Federal and State Income Tax returns for both individuals and all types of business entities.
We prepare many tax returns yearly. We know what tax laws changed and how they may affect you.

As an Enrolled Agent we can represent you avoiding the need for your presence, enabling you to continue your normal schedule.

This woman IS AMAZING! Recently, she helped my parents through a most difficult time with the IRS. My mom actually trusted her and she doesn't trust many people! She was a TRUE PROFESSIONAL and made them feel a relief that they haven't had in YEARS! I recommend her again and again! If you have ANY tax or accounting need, SHE IS THE WOMAN FOR YOU! thank you Diane!

Their service, accuracy, responsiveness, knowledge and attitude were excellent. My returns are fairly complex and I was tired of dealing with accountants who were difficult to reach, not very knowledgeable and seemingly only interested in running up fees. Accounting Connections changed all that. I couldn't be more pleased. I intend to use Accounting Connections for my corporate work going forward. Simply the best!

I've had the pleasure of working with Diane (owner/operator of Accounting Connections) for many years now. She has been the contracted accountant for the company I work at for several years and has helped to train me as I've assumed more responsibility in the accounting/finance department. To describe Diane as a tax and accounting expert would truly be an understatement. Everything from personal tax planning to long-term business tax strategy, Accounting Connections truly provides superb service for ALL of our accounting and tax needs!

When a commercial CD tax preparations program indicated I owed thousands$, Diane did my return over revealing the program's error and saving me much. Again to the rescue, at another time, i spent a whole day trying to figure out the implications of an IRS letter requesting additional tax funds, In about 5 minutes, Diane was able to clarify the matter much to my relief in about 5 minutes. An amazing and sharp accountant!

I have utmost respect and gratitude for Diane and her work. She was able to get myself and my company on the right track by fixing previous years' problems both in QB and with the IRS. She cares about her clients, and takes a personal interest in their success. I highly recommend her as an accountant for both business and personal, and I also highly recommend her as a QuickBooks adviser.

Diane Offutt has prepared our taxes and advised us on our personal and business accounting since 2009. We are very satisfied with her courteous and thorough work. She is always available for Quickbooks advice or special questions and answers involving changes in the tax laws and/or bookkeeping procedures. Her experience with large and medium size businesses does not stand in the way of being very helpful for smaller professional businesses like my law practice. We highly recommend this accounting firm and its owner/operator Diane Offutt.
