What’s the difference between an EA and a CPA?
Our team consists of two Enrolled Agents (EAs) who specialize in tax preparation, tax planning, and tax representation. You may be wondering, “What’s the difference between an EA and a CPA?” Both EAs and CPAs can have unlimited representation rights before the IRS. However, EAs specialize specifically in taxation, while CPAs have a broader focus that can include accounting, auditing, and financial planning.
