Who you'll talk to.

Small on purpose. You'll know who's on your file, and if the IRS gets involved, Jorge joins.

Ivo Ferrer

Ivo Ferrer

Advisor: taxes, books & tech

  • IRS-registered tax preparer (PTIN)

Speaks English and Spanish.

I help with

Ivo Ferrer has prepared taxes for about five years. He's an IRS-registered tax preparer (PTIN). He works with families, the self-employed and small businesses, and leans toward small business.

He keeps the books too. When the books are kept up every month, your return is built from real records, and March stays calm.

Ivo is half Cuban, half Costa Rican, and was born in Dallas. He's been into software and technology for as long as he can remember, and he builds the systems that keep Zolt fast. For small-business clients he also builds websites and handles SEO and marketing.

If the IRS gets involved, he brings in Jorge Liste, our Enrolled Agent.

Jorge Liste

Enrolled Agent (EA)

  • IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA)
  • Member, National Association of Enrolled Agents

Speaks English and Spanish.

I help with

Jorge Liste has been an Enrolled Agent (EA) since 2024. As an EA he's enrolled to practice before the IRS, which lets him represent you in audits, collections and appeals.

He focuses on S corporations, corporations, small businesses and higher-income individuals. He's also an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA), so for ITIN applications he can verify most of your documents himself.

Look him up in the IRS public directory of preparers with credentials (opens in a new tab). Type “Liste” in the last name box and press Search.

What the letters mean.

Credentials come with a lot of letters. Here's what each one lets us do for you.

PTIN
Preparer Tax Identification Number. Anyone paid to prepare a federal tax return must have one. It's what lets Ivo prepare yours.
EA
Enrolled Agent. Enrolled Agents are enrolled to practice before the IRS, so they can represent you in audits, collections and appeals. Jorge is ours.
CAA
Certifying Acceptance Agent. A CAA can verify your identity documents for an ITIN application, so in most cases your passport doesn't have to be mailed to the IRS.
