Rachel Farmer, CPA
Business Tax Manager

Rachel has worked with Alan F. Burke, CPA, PA, since 2005.

As Business Tax Manager, Rachel works with business clients in the preparation of tax returns, as well as tax planning. Clients who seek advice with tax planning are able to make informed business decisions that are most advantageous to their bottom line and future growth. The Business Tax Manager also communicates with the IRS and/or state taxing authority, at the client’s request, to help resolve any issues that may arise. Receiving a notice from the IRS or Department of Revenue can be intimidating, stressful, and worrisome, and this service provides peace of mind for the client to know that the issue is being handled by professionals and allows the client to attend to what matters most – running their business.

“Alan F. Burke, CPA, PA offers its clients a wide array of services, as would a larger accounting firm, but is small enough to provide specialized services and a one-on-one relationship catered to a specific client’s needs. AFBCPAPA stands out from other CPA firms because it is capable of being as involved (or not) in a client’s business and financial decisions as the client prefers, whether in day-to-day affairs or on an annual basis. – Rachel Farmer, CPA
