How Our Firm Took Shape
Our story starts at a small H&R Block desk, where Trina prepared her first returns and discovered how confusing taxes felt for everyday people. Over the years she became an Enrolled Agent, franchise owner, and Certified Business Specialist. Moving to Florida opened the door to build a virtual firm that removes the rush and focuses on individual care, clear explanations, and year round availability for every client.
Why Experience Matters Here
Elite Business and Tax Services is led by Enrolled Agent Trina Sawyer, who brings forty years of tax preparation and more than two decades of IRS representation to every file. She has handled individual, business, non profit, and estate returns through changing laws and economic cycles. That history means we spot patterns quickly, explain options in plain language, and design practical plans that protect your finances and reduce tax stress over time.

Clients stay year after year because they feel heard, understood, and fully informed before any decision is made.

Meet Trina
Trina Sawyer leads Elite Business and Tax Services, LLC, a virtual accounting and tax practice serving clients nationwide. As an Enrolled Agent with 23 years of IRS representation and 40 years of tax preparation experience, she has walked clients through simple W‑2 filings and highly complex business and estate situations. Her career began at an H&R Block desk, grew into franchise ownership and Certified Business Specialist training, and now continues through her independent firm focused fully on client care.
Clients who work with Trina do not get shuffled between staff. They sit down, virtually or in person, with the person who understands their full picture and can speak directly with the IRS on their behalf. She is known for clear explanations, steady guidance, and an easygoing style that makes even serious tax problems feel manageable.
As the founder of Elite Business and Tax Services, LLC, Trina Sawyer brings a rare level of authority to her clients through her designation as an Enrolled Agent (EA). This federally licensed certification, awarded directly by the IRS, represents the highest credential the agency offers. Unlike other tax preparers, EAs must pass a comprehensive three-part exam covering individual and business taxation, representation, and ethics.
Trina’s EA status means she possesses unlimited representation rights before the IRS. For her clients, this ensures that she can manage complex tax resolution cases, handle audits, and negotiate directly on their behalf, providing the ultimate peace of mind. With 40 years of experience and this critical certification, Trina delivers unparalleled expertise.
