MyTaxPro is here to help you and your business. From any accounting needs you might have to tax plan My nightmare began. The IRS wanted to examine my tax returns.
Back in the 1980’s I was a small time building contractor, working hand to mouth, trying to make ends meet, pay my crew, and have a little left over. Being self employed was my dream-come true, but after a few years it became my worst nightmare. You see while I was out chasing sales; biding contracts; supervising the crew; buying the materials; swinging a hammer; collecting the draws; paying the b
ills; and just about anything else you can think of about running a small business, I received a notice from the United States Treasury (IRS). That meant books and records. You get the picture…..Long story, and a lot of money later; I learned that I needed to take care of my business as well as I took care of my clients. So I began taking business classes at a local university. Two years went by and I picked up an accounting degree. But what really interested me were the tax classes. While taking classes I was fortunate to have had an instructor who took an interest in me. George Copus and his wife Nancy brought me into their practice and thus my education really began. I continued going to school and 16 months later received a Masters of Science in Taxation. While I was in school and working I also passed the Internal Revenue Service Special Examination and received my professional license as an Enrolled Agent. In the spring of 1995 my wife Sammi and I moved to Austin, Texas. I opened a small evening practice and began working my days with a number of companies including Temple-Inland, KPMG, and a couple of local firms. While growing my practice I noticed that most of my new clients were doing many of the same things that I had done in the 80’s. They were all great at sales and running their businesses, but needed a lot of help when it came to bookkeeping, taxes, and tax planning. So I began developing methods and systems to help them. By May of 2001 I was ready to walk away from the corporate work place. I found that most taxpayers were in need of someone who had walked in their shoes, understood their problems, and was willing to provide the help and direction they needed. All I can say is it has been the best ride ever. Thank you for taking the time to review this site. I look forward to working with each and every one of you.
