Firm Profile

In January of 2000, Sherry L. Neis, EA, established a local tax and bookkeeping service which became known as “The Balancing Act“. Sherry’s vision is to glorify God by faithfully serving her clients with competence, compassion and a clear conscience.

Our tax services include planning, preparation and representation before federal and state tax agencies. We prepare individual, small business, partnership, corporate, estate, small non-profit and trust tax returns. If you are new to the area, we prepare out of state returns, as well.

We currently have a 74,608-page-long federal tax code, making our tax laws more complex then ever before. Our continual investment of time and resources in professional continuing education and state-of-the-art computer technology ensures that our tax professionals serve you with competence.

As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, we offer complete bookkeeping and payroll services to help you run your business more efficiently. Operating a small business is very rewarding but comes with the obligations to maintain proper records as well as meet payroll and sales tax obligations. We have more than twenty years experience serving clients from a variety of industries. Let us take your burden from you so you can focus on making your business more profitable. Since your time is valuable, we offer free local pickup and delivery.
