About Mary Kelly

Kelly is an Enrolled Agent, licensed by the U.S, Treasury Department with over 26 years of experience in large public accounting firms. She is also a Virginia Authorized Agent, as she helps many taxpayers with VA tax issues. Kelly has offices in Virginia and often provides services to clients both locally as well as around the globe. Her license allows her to provide services in any country hosting an IRS branch office. She sees navigating IRS resolution as a simple task of knowing all the options, eliminating those you do not qualify for, and choosing from the remaining options the one you feel most comfortable with. A professional comes into play by having the knowledge and experience to know the nuances of timing and reporting for each option that may make one better than another. This is called case strategy. Kelly starts each case with a free 30-minute consultation specifically discussing your options and strategy to determine if you would gain value by engaging a professional.

Mary Kelly, EA is incredibly knowledgable, professional, and tenacious. She has extensive expertise and years of experience, as well as a genuine personality that puts you at ease even when discussing the most difficult of tax situations. As a fellow EA, if I had to choose a preparer to do my own taxes, it would be Mary Kelly.

I had the distinct pleasure of working alongside Mary for multiple years for all tax matters, from IRS resolution and representation, compliance, and general consulting for individuals. She is beyond thorough and a strong advocate for her clients. I would highly recommend her and often refer clients to her directly.

Advised on Unpaid Taxes, Unfiled Returns - No Balance, Unfiled Tax Returns | Jan 26, 2022
Looking for a tax accountant was not fun for me. I was deciding which stranger would be worth putting my trust in and relying on for a big chunk of my future financial well-being.

I was at a crossroad with my taxes, not sure which choice would be best for me. Mary took the time to explain the pros and cons of every option. She even advised me on a course of action that was right for me but would bring less money to HER. This is exactly the person I was looking for - knowledgeable, trustworthy, professional and not judgmental. She has the patience to explain everything and none of our conversation was a sales pitch for her services.

I hope I don't have to go into battle against the IRS in the future, but if I did, she would be the person I would want by my side.
