Tax preparation, planning, and IRS resolution — led by an Enrolled Agent with the credentials to represent you.

Not every tax preparer is the same. An IRS Enrolled Agent is federally authorized to represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service — on audits, collections, appeals, and everything in between. That is who is in your corner at Compass Tax Center.

Meet Alisa Kharis, EA

When the IRS sends a letter, you want someone with real authority in your corner — not a seasonal preparer or a piece of software.

Alisa Kharis is an IRS Enrolled Agent, a federal credential that authorizes unlimited representation before the Internal Revenue Service. It is the highest designation available to tax professionals who are not attorneys or CPAs — and it means that wherever your tax matter goes, Alisa can go with you.

She brings five focused years of tax experience to every engagement, backed by something most tax professionals lack: 20 years of legal experience and 30 years of operating real businesses. That combination means she does not just prepare your return — she understands the decisions behind the numbers, the legal weight of the documents you sign, and the strategies that protect you before a problem arises.

As a multi-business owner herself, Alisa has personal experience with the tax realities that her business clients face — payroll, entity structure, quarterly estimates, deductions, and the constant balancing act of growth and compliance. She has lived it, which means she advises from experience, not just training.

Compass Business and Tax Center serves individuals, families, small businesses, startups, and tax clients navigating IRS challenges of all kinds. All services are provided virtually, with clients served nationwide.
