Margarita Cabanillas

I don't understand chess but I do understand tax. First and foremost, I love to strategize on taxes for my business clients, lower their tax liability and implement proven IRS loopholes backed by regulations.

I also love to help clients that are struggling with stressful tax notices. Is it easy to deal with the government on your own? Very rarely. Is it easy to get through to them by phone? Very rarely. Is the notice and tax debt lingering over your head while they take their time responding to your inquiries? Definitely.

My degree is in accounting. I graduated in 2000 loving accounting and my career has transformed since. The hardest class I had was tax BUT I passed with an A-. Not bad when it was the most challenging class I'd ever had. School was always a breeze for me. For a while, I prepared taxes for my friends and family but eventually, I began preparing them professionally in 2009 at my last place of employment.

I became an Enrolled Agent in 2015 after deciding that accounting and tax preparation were too easy for me. I have loved every bit of growth, training, and continuing education.

In 2021 became a Certified Tax Coach so that I can strategize with large businesses and help implement ideas that will reduce tax liability.

My hobbies and interests include working out, running, reading, nutrition, listening to music, and walk and talks with my friends and family.
