About Ericka Brooks
As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with a vast background in tax controversy and compliance, I am dedicated to helping taxpayers navigate complex tax issues and minimize liabilities. I’ve successfully assisted clients in resolving disputes with the IRS and state tax authorities, handling audits, appeals, collections, and penalty abatements with expertise and efficiency. My experience spans resolving excise, payroll, income, and property tax matters, drafting persuasive protests, and negotiating settlements directly with the IRS.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Global Business from Arizona State University and completed additional accounting coursework to meet CPA licensure requirements. This strong educational foundation combined with years of real-world experience, allows me to deliver strategic, personalized solutions tailored to your needs. Partnering with me means gaining peace of mind so you can focus on what matters most.
