Talk Story with an Advertiser: Action Business Services
Action Business Services is a tax preparation and bookkeeping service owned by Paula Wilson, E.A. She has been an Enrolled Agent since 1994 and has prepared taxes for most of that time. She has offered bookkeeping and payroll services for more than 30 years, both in California and Hawai‘i.
An Enrolled Agent is an individual who has demonstrated technical competence in the field of taxation by sitting for a series of tests administered by the IRS. The designation dates back to 1884, during the time of the Carpet Baggers, when questionable claims were being submitted to the government for Civil War losses. Congress acted to regulate those individuals who represented people to the Treasury Department by creating the professional designation of Enrolled Agent. The term “Enrolled” indicates the individual is licensed by the federal government. “Agent” indicates the individual is authorized to appear before the IRS in the place of the taxpayer at all administrative levels. This service can only be provided by Enrolled Agents, CPA’s, and attorneys.
Paula is also available and skilled in helping to set up and train clients with various accounting software packages such as QuickBooks and more.
Academically, Paula attended Golden Gate University in San Francisco, CA, majoring in accounting and finance and completes at least 24 units of continuing education annually.
The clientele serviced by Action Business Services are primarily individuals and small businesses. Paula has been in Kailua-Kona since 2002. She initially worked for a local CPA while preparing to launch her own practice. She has been located in her current office since 2004 and is available to clients during the entire year for consultations, planning, tax preparation, and filing.
Paula says, “Quite simply [my clients] are the nicest and best people I know in Kona, and it is my pleasure to provide services to them.”
