No listings in Palo Alto hold that credential yet.
There are three states on this page, and they mean different things:
- Credential verified — matched to the IRS register and holding a recognised credential (CPA, EA, attorney, AFSP).
- Registered preparer — matched to an active PTIN record, but holding none of those credentials.
- Unverified — we could not match them at all. That is not a mark against them; many capable bookkeepers hold no licence and need none for the work they do.
