Non-Profit Accountant & Tax Preparer

Joe Dubbelsy, EA

Minnesota native, Mr. Dubbels finds our work near and dear with a traveling nurse spouse.  With a bachelor’s degree in finance and an admission to practice before the Internal Revenue Service as an Enrolled Agent, he is comfortable with our start-up environment. "It’s the reason entrepreneurs disrupt established markets, it’s a critical feature of any high-return investment, and, above all, it makes the world a better place." He stands behind his word "No business owner should sacrifice their precious time slogging through the books and no hardworking taxpayer should be deprived of quality service when it comes to their income taxes. In both cases, a solution shouldn’t break the bank."
