If you have a few more minutes and are interested in a bit of the backstory of how Flora became the best Katy Tax Advisor around, feel free to read onwards below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It All Starts with Oil and Gas in Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many other Texan women, it was her husband\u2019s work in the oil and gas industry that brought Flora and her family to Houston in 2009. She had worked on tax reporting, financial statements preparation and bookkeeping for over three decades overseas (in Australia, Nigeria, and Canada).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For three years, Flora took the time to get to know America (and Texas!) and the Katy-Fulshear community.  She volunteered as treasurer for the PTA at her children\u2019s Katy ISD schools, first at WoodCreek Junior High School, and then at Seven Lakes High School. As a natural learner, Flora also learned the US personal and small business tax codes as she understudied PWC while preparing her family taxes. As her children were getting older (two of whom are now graduates of Seven Lakes High School and one from Tompkins High School), Flora decided to go back to work again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Time to Reinvest in Work Again<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, Flora decided to apply and successfully completed a rigorous 3-part series examination administered by the US Department of the Treasury on Individual Taxes, Business Taxes, and Ethics (Representation, Practice, and Procedures) and became licensed as a US Enrolled Agent (EA), with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Thereafter, she decided to open up her own Texas LLC (Eftex Business Services, LLC) so she could begin professionally helping her fellow Katy-Fulshear neighbors with their taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then some of the ways Flora has helped her neighbors with their taxes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
