I never left high school seeking to be a tax professional. Tax and accounting found me. After having my last child in 2006 I was looking for work and I guess you could say that tax and accounting fell into my lap. From my beginnings in 2006 to the present I have gone from the new kid on the block to the owner of my own tax business. I have been a tax specialist for 17 years and owned and operated my firm for 10 years. I am a mom, wife, daughter, grandma, and pet owner. I am 41 years old and thoroughly enjoy what I do. I try my best to maintain a professional “girl next door” relationship with my clients. My roots run deep in the hills of Eastern KY as I grew up in Floyd County KY. I want my clients to feel comfortable in my office and know that I will treat them as I would like to be treated. So many people are nervous when it comes to filing taxes, so I strive to NOT make our visit feel like a trip to the principal’s office. As some of my past and current clients can tell you, I have a motto. In this office, “Never be afraid to tell me the truth. No judgment here. There are 3 people you should never lie to for the best results: 1. Your Doctor 2. Your attorney 3. Your tax professional/accountant.” I cannot help you if I don’t know the whole story. I also work with my husband and his construction and remodeling business. We have had this business for 12 years. I am no stranger to self-employment and business issues. My tax philosophy is accepting you at the level you are at and helping you file your taxes as easily and “Simple” as possible. Simplex Tax and Accounting
