AS an office manager with a national tax company, Suzanne Weathers successfully led a large team of tax professionals while an active Enrolled Agent (EA). She found her passion and excelled in audit representation, an arena where approximately 96 percent of licensed EAs choose not to practice.
When Suzanne decided to open her own practice, she knew she needed to be different. “I was leaving a successful position after 10 years in this field and seeking a change which had to include both a work-life balance and contribution to my community,” she says. “I knew we needed to look beyond the numbers and see our community, to see individuals and individual ways to serve them.”
Weathers and Associates Consulting provides tax resolution and preparation services as a local outsource contractor to local tax and financial services firms (CPAs, Bookkeeping, etc.). They are also Certified Acceptance Agents who are authorized to act on behalf of alien individuals and other foreign persons with respect to those who need to obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) or an Employer Identification Number (EIN).
“I understand the tax codes and enjoy being able to bring clarity in serving clients,” says Suzanne. “I meet most people when they feel frustrated, afraid or lost. No doubt the IRS is a huge bureaucracy to navigate alone, even for other professionals, and I provide understanding through the process. We work with individuals and businesses as unique clients. There is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach.”
