We also believe that listening is the foundation of a long-term relationship with our clients, which leads to trust and respect. This is why we truly care about our clients and make every effort to help our clients understand their financial and tax situations.

We make sure we continue to deserve our clients' trust and respect by staying abreast of accounting and tax law changes and by taking a proactive interest in the smooth financial management of their businesses.

We focus on small business accounting. However, we welcome the opportunity to work with individuals as well. Our services include bookkeeping, compilations, payroll, tax preparation, QuickBooks training, and general consultations. All work is done within our office.

The People:

Eugenia Foster

Eugenia is a distinguished member of the accounting and tax industry with over twenty-eight (28) years of experience working in tax preparation and accounting. She began her career in 1985 when she decided she needed to understand and know what was on her own tax return. Her first class was the basic H & R Block tax course. This course opened doors and resulted in a job opportunity. During the first tax season that Eugenia worked, she became obsessed with the business and started taking other tax classes. She worked for H & R Block from 1986 until 1995 in various capacities, including tax preparer, instructor, and office manager. Then, in 1995, Eugenia made the decision to focus on her education and get her CPA certificate. While in college, she worked for various small businesses, assisting them with their accounting, payroll, and tax compliance. She also worked for two CPA firms: one in Roswell and one in Kennesaw.

Eugenia's certifications and accomplishments are many. In 1994, she became an Enrolled Agents with the Internal Revenue Service. In 1999, she graduated Cum Laude from Kennesaw State University (KSU) with a Bachelor's of Business Administration. While a student at KSU, she was chosen for membership into Beta Alpha Psi, a National Accounting Honors Fraternity. In 2002, Eugenia became a Certified Public Accountant. Currently she is a member of several professional organizations:

• The Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants
