Tyrone Harps, EA
I’m Tyrone Harps, EA, a second‑generation tax professional with 30+ years of experience in tax preparation, compliance, and resolution. I founded Express One Financial Services to help individuals and small business owners move from tax stress to tax confidence—with a clear plan, honest advice, and ongoing support.
I’m an Enrolled Agent, licensed by the U.S. Treasury to represent taxpayers in all 50 states. Since 2003, I’ve helped thousands of clients with everything from straightforward returns to complex IRS issues, multi‑state filings, and long‑overdue tax cleanups.
What Is an Enrolled Agent?
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally licensed tax professional who has earned the highest credential the IRS awards. EAs must pass rigorous exams or meet strict IRS experience requirements, clear background checks, and complete ongoing continuing education.
Like CPAs and tax attorneys, EAs are authorized to represent taxpayers in audits, collections, and appeals—in any state.
In plain terms:
If the IRS is involved—or if you want to stay off their radar—an Enrolled Agent like me is trained to guide you, represent you, and protect your interests.
My Story & Background
I learned the tax business from my father, who served clients for over 50 years with honesty, patience, and care. Growing up, I watched him help people who were scared of the IRS walk out with relief and a plan. That legacy shaped how I work today.
Education: B.S. in Accounting from Virginia State University
Credential: Enrolled Agent since 2003
Experience: Managed and led multiple high‑volume tax offices
Clients Served: Thousands of individuals and small businesses nationwide
Today, through Express One Financial Services, I bring that high‑volume experience into a more personal, relationship‑driven practice—where every client gets clarity, not confusion.
My Core Values (Inspired by Dave Ramsey Principles)
I built this firm on values that matter in real life—not just on paper:
- Integrity & Responsibility
I give honest answers, even when they’re not the easiest ones. Returns are prepared ethically, and positions are defensible. You can trust the numbers and the guidance.
- Clarity & Simplicity
No jargon walls. I explain your situation in plain English, provide written action plans and checklists, and make sure you know what’s happening and why.
- Hope With a Plan
Whether you’re behind on filings or just overwhelmed, I help you turn anxiety into step‑by‑step solutions—from where you are now to where you need to be.
- Disciplined Stewardship
Money is a tool. I help you use it wisely with proactive estimates, basis tracking, and reasonable compensation reviews so you’re not overpaying—or under‑planning.
- Education & Empowerment
I complete 10–15 advanced tax courses every year, staying ahead of changes so you don’t have to. My goal: you leave every interaction more informed and more in control.
