About Ian

Construction Accounting, Federal Tax, and IRS Representation

Every engagement runs through Ian personally — the books, the monthly walkthrough, and the tax return.

Ian Atkinson-Baker, Lead Accountant and IRS Enrolled Agent at Strategic Accounting

Ian grew up in and around a family business, where he saw firsthand how much good financial records and steady cash flow decide whether a small company thrives or fails. He holds a bachelor's degree in accounting and is pursuing his CPA license.

As an IRS Enrolled Agent, Ian is federally authorized to represent clients before the IRS — the same tier of practice rights CPAs and attorneys hold in tax matters.

Your books are supported by a skilled bookkeeping team, but every engagement is personally reviewed and guided by Ian. That means the monthly reports, planning conversations, and tax return are all connected from the start.

Why People Hire Ian

What you actually get when Ian runs your engagement personally — instead of a support chain at a generic firm.

  1. Direct Access

    No support chain. The same person who quotes the engagement keeps your books and files your return — from day one.

    As an Enrolled Agent, Ian can represent you before the IRS — the same tier of practice rights CPAs and attorneys hold in tax matters.

  3. Construction & Trades Only

    Every client is a Florida construction or trades operator. Most questions have been answered at least once before.

  4. Monthly Walkthrough

    Not a PDF in your inbox. A 30-minute call each month where you actually understand what the numbers mean for your jobs.

  5. Flat-Rate Pricing

    One flat monthly rate. Pick up the phone whenever you have a question — no hourly meter, no billing surprises.

  6. Books & Tax Continuity

    The same person keeping your books files your return. Nothing falls between the ledger and the tax return.
