Owner Bio

Hui "Philip" Zou

Enrolled Agent (EA) | Master of Science in Computer Science

EA #:  00163523-EA (Verify on IRS Preparer Directory)

Philip brings a unique blend of analytical precision and real-world tax experience to his practice. Trained as a software engineer, he holds a master’s degree in Computer Science and spent years applying his problem-solving skills in the tech industry before turning his passion for U.S. tax law into a profession.

For over two decades, Philip has prepared tax returns and offered tax guidance to family and friends, successfully filing more than 100 returns. In 2025, he became a federally licensed Enrolled Agent (EA)—a designation earned through rigorous IRS testing that authorizes him to represent and advise taxpayers in all 50 states.

While CPAs focus broadly on accounting and auditing and are licensed by individual states, EAs specialize exclusively in taxation and are recognized at the federal level. When it comes to tax preparation and strategy, EAs provide the same high level of expertise and representation as CPAs.

Philip now dedicates his practice to helping individuals—especially those with freelance income, investments, and complex financial situations—navigate their taxes with clarity, strategy, and confidence.
