Founded in 2017 by Leona Zanders, the firm started as a boutique firm that later grew to become Charleston's leading tax advisor firm. Our tax advisor firm is not your typical tax advisor firm because we are not typical tax advisors; many of us chose the tax profession as a second, or in some cases third, career. At Master Tax Advisors, our experience is different so our perspective is different.
Leona Zanders is a enrolled agent and an enrolled agent is a person who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service by either passing a three-part comprehensive IRS test covering individual and business tax returns, or through experience as a former IRS employee. Enrolled agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards. Individuals who obtain this elite status must adhere to ethical standards and complete 72 hours of continuing education courses every three years.Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants (CPAs), have unlimited practice rights. This means they are unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can represent clients before.
