Hello! I'm a member of the American Board of Forensic Accounting, ABFA, and hold the CRFAC and RFI designations. I'm also an IRS Enrolled Agent, a Canadian CPA, a Chartered Accountant, and a certified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)! ACCA is the global professional accountant's body with international recognition in about 175 countries. In addition, I also hold a certification in US international Tax and Master in Professional Accountancy! Just for a little more clarification for those may need it, the Enrolled Agent (or EA) credential is held by a tax practitioner who is federally-authorized and empowered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to practice! Enrolled Agents represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax issues that include audits, collections and appeals. Enrolled Agent status is the highest credential awarded by the IRS and it's recognized across all 50 states in the USA. I have been an accountant, bookkeeper, and tax practitioner for many years. I have a vibrant background in Investigative and Forensic Accounting, Tax planning, Tax Preparation, IFRS adoption procedures, Corporate Governance, Business Process Re-engineering, Taxation (US, UK, Canada and Ghana), Software Selection & Deployment, and practices that impact the bottom line. I am a QuickBooks Advanced ProAdvisor certified in both the United States and Canada and have experience in many other proprietary accounting and ERP software programs, including but not limited to Drake Tax/Accounting, Excel, Airtables, QuickBooks, Tally Accounting, CINC Systems, Turbo Tax and ProConnect Tax Online, and Larcet! I have worked with companies of various sizes and structures. I have held leadership positions for many years over my 20 plus career life. I worked for Intuit QuickBooks for years and then with Legal Zoom Tax and Turbo Tax as a Tax Manager! I currently run my own accounting/tax business in North Carolina. You may visit our website at aryeeat dot com to learn more about me. Please note the rate above is our base rate and is subject to change due to case complexity. Prices for any other services/requests will be negotiated prior to service commencement. Thanks for the opportunity to serve. I look forward to speaking with you! Warm regards, Christopher T.
