In this short video, the Bookkeeping for Painters tax team explains that every member of their tax staff is an Enrolled Agent (EA), a credential focused exclusively on tax matters. They contrast EAs with Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), noting that not all CPAs specialize in taxes and that some may not handle tax work at all. The speakers highlight the ethical standards and annual continuing‑education requirements that EAs must meet under IRS Circular 230, positioning them as highly qualified tax professionals. They advise viewers to ensure their tax preparer is qualified, offering practical tips for vetting a CPA or EA, and invite the audience to join a private Facebook group, “Grow Your Painting Business,” for further questions. Finally, they emphasize that both EAs and CPAs have unrestricted rights to represent clients before the IRS, and that the Bookkeeping for Painters team can provide such representation for tax problems.

Everyone at the Bookkeeping for Painters tax team is an enrolled agent. Not all CPAs specialize in taxes.
Some of them don't even touch taxes.
Whereas EAs, that's all EAs do is taxes. There are ethical standards they must abide by, just like CPAs. That's in Circular 230. And also continuing education requirements each year to make sure that they're on the top of their game. I do strongly recommend that whoever is doing your taxes is qualified.
Let us know your thoughts on finding a competent tax preparer. Use a CPA, use an EA. How do you vet who you're using? Or maybe you have questions. How do I vet? What questions should I ask? Or whatever your questions are, definitely let us know those questions. You can search Grow Your Painting Business. In Facebook and there's a private group you can join to ask any question you have on this topic. EAs and CPAs have unrestricted representation rights before the IRS.
