“My family and I have been working with Professional Tax Accountants for many years for both personal and business accounting. You will not find a more knowledgeable, professional, helpful accounting firm in the DC metro area. They have helped us through standard tax filings and regulations, and even managed complicated IRS matters on our behalf. I have and continue to recommend them to friends, family and business associates whenever the need arises.” – Kelly T.

Not Your Average Accounting Firm

Sue Ellen, who co-owns Professional Tax Accountants with her husband, generously gave us a few minutes of her time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets Professional Tax Accountants apart from the many other accounting firms in Virginia. Here’s Sue Ellen’s response:

“Here, our clients are real, live people. We have clients that we’ve had for generations, and we know them very well. They are not just numbers.”

Sue Ellen went on to add:

“Our approach to customer service and our community results in outstanding client retention.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Professional Tax Accountants and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Sue Ellen had to say:

“Our mission is to save our clients time and money, and give them peace of mind. People find the subject of taxes to be stressful, and we just want to help address their needs and help them as best as possible. We want them to feel cared for. If they can’t relax about the tax outcome, they can at least relax about how it’s handled.”

Building Success by Getting to Know Clients

When we asked Sue Ellen about Professional Tax Accountants‘ secret to such a strong online reputation, she said:

“It is very important to my husband and me to get to know our clients. We really get to know them as well as we can, so we can deliver the best tax savings, but also so we can talk to them honestly and directly about financial challenges they may face. We really care about each and every client. My clients say that we are not typical accountants.”

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Professional Tax Accountants has spread the word about who they are and what they do through local advertising and community involvement:

“ I am very active in churches and spiritual organizations. …I also teach yoga. To be honest, I like people, so I get to know them, and then they ask me to do their taxes.”

Clearly, Sue Ellen knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s her expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“You have to take care of your clients, and the best way to do that is by getting to know them.”


Congratulations to the team at Professional Tax Accountants for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Sue Ellen, for taking the time to speak with us!
