EA vs CPA: Who Fits Your Needs?
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally licensed tax specialist who can represent you before the IRS nationwide. A CPA is state-licensed and required for attest services (audits/reviews). Many clients combine both. Learn the differences: EA vs CPA Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between tax prep and tax planning?
Tax preparation reports the required tax period using the taxpayer's records and applicable rules. Planning evaluates eligible choices, elections and payment needs for current or future periods. The return's tax year may differ from its preparation or publication year, and planning does not guarantee a particular outcome.
Do I need a CPA for audited financial statements?
A financial statement audit or review requires an appropriately licensed provider and a separate engagement. A compilation provides no assurance and has its own reporting requirements. Henriquez Accounting’s U.S. tax services are led by Pedro Henriquez as an Enrolled Agent; his CPA credential is from the Dominican Republic and is not a U.S. state CPA license. Do not assume U.S. CPA assurance services are included in a bookkeeping or tax engagement. See the AICPA overview of preparation, compilation and review standards.
Can you help with IRS letters and penalties?
With proper authorization, notice support may include responses and requests for penalty relief or an installment agreement. Eligibility and approval depend on the agency's rules and taxpayer facts; a request does not guarantee relief or an approved agreement.
Do you support QuickBooks and payroll integrations?
Confirm the software products, versions, subscriptions and transfer methods supported for your engagement. Agree on any setup, payroll coordination or integration work separately; compatibility is not assumed.
Do you work across Florida and remotely?
Yes. We serve clients statewide and fully remote via secure portals.
Note: Credit details, limits, and requirements change periodically. We verify current rules during onboarding.
