Federally Licensed. Personally Accountable.
Bagrawat Financials is a 100% virtual tax and bookkeeping practice built on one principle: every client deserves the same standard of care a large firm charges a premium for — delivered by a credentialed professional who knows your name.
What It Means to Be an Enrolled Agent
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally licensed tax practitioner authorised by the US Department of the Treasury. The EA designation is the highest credential the IRS awards — and the only one that grants unlimited representation rights before the IRS at every level.
Federally Licensed
Enrolled Agents are licensed directly by the US federal government — not by a state board or a private certification body. The licence is issued by the Department of the Treasury and is recognised in all 50 states.
Unlimited IRS Representation Rights
Unlike CPAs or attorneys whose representation rights may be limited, an EA has unlimited authority to represent any taxpayer before any office of the IRS — including audits, collections, appeals, and tax court matters.
Rigorous Examination
The EA designation requires passing the IRS Special Enrollment Examination — a comprehensive three-part test covering individual tax, business tax, and representation, practice, and procedures.
Continuing Education Requirement
EAs must complete 72 hours of continuing education every three years, including mandatory ethics training, to maintain their federal licence. Your EA is always current on the latest tax law.
EA vs. CPA vs. Tax Preparer
Not all tax professionals are equal. Here is how an Enrolled Agent compares.
| Feature | Enrolled Agent (EA) | CPA | Tax Preparer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licensed by | US Department of the Treasury (federal) | State board of accountancy | No federal licence required |
| IRS Representation Rights | Unlimited — all offices, all levels | Limited to state of licensure | None (unless AFSP) |
| Tax Law Specialisation | Primary focus — federal tax law | Broad accounting; tax is one area | Varies widely |
| Continuing Education | 72 hrs / 3 years (federally mandated) | State-mandated (varies) | Not required |
| Audit Representation | Yes — full authority | Yes — within state | No |
Built for the Modern Business Owner
Bagrawat Financials operates as a fully virtual practice — no physical office, no geographic restriction. Clients across all 50 states receive the same attentive, accurate service through a secure client portal and direct communication with their EA.
The practice was founded on a straightforward observation: small business owners are consistently underserved by the tax and bookkeeping industry. They are handed off to junior staff, given generic advice, and left to navigate IRS correspondence alone. Bagrawat Financials exists to change that.
Every engagement — whether a one-time QuickBooks clean-up or ongoing monthly bookkeeping — is handled directly by the EA. There is no delegation to unlicensed staff, no offshore processing, and no automated software filing your return without professional review.
Direct EA Access
You communicate directly with your Enrolled Agent — not a support team, not a junior associate.
Secure & Virtual
All document exchange happens through an encrypted client portal. No email attachments, no physical paperwork.
Year-Round Availability
Tax questions don't wait for April. Your EA is available year-round for guidance, IRS notices, and planning.
Unlimited IRS Representation Rights
If the IRS contacts you — an audit notice, a balance-due letter, a collections action — your Enrolled Agent can represent you directly before any IRS office at any level. You don't have to face the IRS alone.
