Four decades helping Fresno families and small businesses turn tax complexity into confident decisions.
Jan Arnold, EA and Associates Tax Services combine experienced tax preparation, thoughtful planning, and practical bookkeeping support for Central Valley clients who want fewer surprises and a professional they can call throughout the year.
Experience that has seen more than one tax season.
Jan Arnold is an Enrolled Agent and the owner of Associates Tax Services, a Fresno firm that has served Central Valley clients for roughly four decades. That length of practice means she has worked through repeated changes in tax law — and through the ordinary life changes that make a return complicated: a new business, a retirement, a sale, an inheritance, a year that simply did not look like the last one.
An Enrolled Agent is licensed at the federal level and holds specialized federal tax knowledge. Practically, it means two things for you: Jan works in tax full-time, and she can represent taxpayers directly before the IRS.
Two straightforward places to start.
Individuals & Families
- Individual tax preparation
- Retirement and life-transition tax considerations
- Estate and trust tax support
- IRS notices and tax questions
- Year-round planning
Small Business & Self-Employed
- Business tax preparation
- Bookkeeping and record organization
- Entity-related tax considerations
- Estimated-tax planning
- Ongoing financial guidance
Good tax work does not happen in one month.
Select a season to see what the work looks like at that point in the year.
Gather records, clean up bookkeeping, and identify what is missing before anything is filed. Most stressful returns start with incomplete paperwork, not complicated tax law.
- Document checklist review
- Bookkeeping catch-up
- Missing-information follow-up
