About Stephan H. Brewer
After 20 years in the Air Force as a highly decorated Command Controller, Stephan decided to leave military service behind. With accounting and finance degrees from a top-rated institution and meticulous attention to detail, learned from his experience running large operations in the Air Force, Stephan chose to work in a smaller town.
In 2000, he bought two accounting and tax offices, subsequently growing the firm to five locations across Phoenix Metro. Having a large practice that was regularly increasing at a rate of 30% per year meant that it saw significant amounts of tax-related issues as a result of new client errors in their returns.
In 2006, as a result of its success in tax resolution, tax preparation, and tax planning, we made it our main focus. Stephan is the consummate learner; he studied the methods of all of the major businesses in the sector and sought out any education geared toward the industry.
Stephan has since completed the rigorous courses necessary for obtaining the coveted accreditation as a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist from the American Society of Tax Problem Solvers, a Master Degree in Taxation from Thomas Jefferson School of Law, and the NTPI Fellow designation from the National Association of Enrolled Agents.
