Sharol Lehnertz, E.A.

Enrolled Agent—authority to practice before any level of the Internal Revenue Service
granted by The Department of the United States Treasury

President of TLC Financial, Sharol is responsible for accounting, tax preparation and resolution services for the firm’s clients. Her Bachelor’s Degree in mathematics and post-graduate studies in accounting and tax law includes an enrolled agent designation obtained after a comprehensive 16-hour examination by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Her experience ranges from assistant controller of a large metro newspaper, management of a tax preparation office and as a tax compliance officer for a large property management firm. Her organizational and communication skills, coupled with expertise in business tax and accounting methods, make her the ideal resource for businesses that want to succeed and grow. She has developed a special service for the firm’s clients that provides a group of CPA trained consulting professionals as temporary CFO’s allowing new companies to afford the highest levels of accounting assistance and planning at very reasonable cost. Though armed with a long list of credentials that underscores her value to any client’s business, it’s her attention to the human aspects of business that makes those credentials effective. She embraces the client’s needs as her own and becomes the outside source of encouragement that is honest and genuine. She will be blunt with a client about their business when necessary and protective when outside bureaucracies get in the way of a client’s success. Excuse the pun, but with Sharol, you get personal attention that counts.
