The Accounting-Enrolled Agent (EA) Program provides students with the skills needed to work professionally with individuals and businesses for strategic tax planning, tax preparation, and accounting services.

It also prepares students for the Enrolled Agent exam administered by the IRS. EAs are federally licensed tax practitioners who may represent taxpayers before the IRS when it comes to collections, audits, and appeals.

The EA program gives students skills they can use to embark on a new career journey and feel confident enough to pursue those opportunities.
