Elaine has over 20 years of experience in Public Accounting and Business and Individual tax preparation. She became an Enrolled Agent* in 2002 and furthered her professional development by becoming an NAEA Fellow with the National Tax Practitioners Institute, also attending 3 years of specialized training in IRS Audits and taxpayer representation. She has represented hundreds of clients in IRS audits, letters and hardship cases, helping her clients find a resolution to their IRS problems. As well as her extensive knowledge of all thing’s taxes, her areas of expertise include: QuickBooks Training, Payroll, New Business Entity Set Up and Small/Medium Business Planning. Her ability to connect with her clients and create long-term relationships is uncanny and wonderful, and you will never laugh more with anyone than with Elaine in your tax preparation meeting.

Elaine is an accomplished seamstress and enjoys sewing and quilting for friends and family. She has made some of the most amazing and beautiful quilts for her family, and we will try and post some pictures of them when she will let us brag about her. When she is not at work, her time and focus are spent with her family, husband Brad, 6 children and 12 grand kids. She enjoys baking, including wedding cakes and could be considered a triple threat at your next wedding – make your cake, sew your dress and file your new tax return with your new spouse!

Devon was an accomplished real estate Loan Processor/ Loan Officer and is very helpful with our clients who have tax related real estate questions, bankruptcies and credit issues. She now manages all of our bookkeeping and payroll clients and has become an accomplished bookkeeper.

She is a wonderful and engaged aunt to her nieces and nephews and spends a lot of quality time with them. She is that second mom every kid needs!  She is devoted to her family and creating time and memories and has extended family in other states and visits… not as often as she’d like. Her other interests include reading and . . . . uh reading!! Her ideal day is spent in a chair at Barnes & Noble’s with her cell phone OFF.

Shelby was hired as our receptionist but has become an integral part of our office and is now our office and client experience manger. She continues to be a jack of all trades by being the assistant to the owner and helping her accomplish various tasks as well while also helping the office wherever needed. With prior tax preparation experience when hired, she had a basic knowledge of taxes. However, that knowledge has continued to expand so she can further help the office and our clients. Because she's involved in the various aspects of our office, we have an inside joke that she's the "real boss". But don't worry, she knows who the REAL boss is!

She recently started school again, but in her free time she enjoys getting out and being in nature. Staying in and having a movie night is always a good option too! Shelby has a big movie collection (we're not joking), though her recent dad joke collection may out-do the movies. She loves music and is always singing. 

Vickie has joined us every tax season since 2020. She now works remotely but is still very involved and cares for her clients.

She owned a business in Farmington, NM for 15 years. She has been preparing her own and friends’ tax returns since 1985. She was hired as a professional tax preparer in 2009, then in 2011 “graduated” to become as a bookkeeper until she moved to Utah in 2015. She has continued bookkeeping and tax preparation here in Utah. Her motto is to “Work smarter, not harder”. She also takes pride in doing the very best to save her clients money that are deductible in one way or another, while of course still being legal.

Vickie loves the number SEVEN! She is a mother of 7 and grandmother to 7. Vickie enjoys singing and spending time with family. She is a member of the Orem Chorale and loves to perform for the community. She is also known to spend evenings playing card games with her son who will always be a kid at heart.

Becky has a Bachelor of Applied Science in Accounting and is currently working on her Masters of Accountancy. Her goal is to become a licensed CPA. She has 20+ years of professional accounting experience which includes 8+ years working for CPA firms providing full-service accounting services, payroll processing, sales tax filings, and QuickBooks Desktop and Online training. Her career choice was influenced by helping her father who owned his own business and hated collections and paperwork. She has added tax preparation to increase her ability to provide effective efficient planning and tax filing to reduce the stress of tax filings. She loves helping businesses to grow and learning about new resources that can assist her clients.
Becky enjoys spending time with her daughters and dogs. Her interests include horseback riding, camping, tatting, crocheting, knitting, embroidery, hand-quilting, and sewing. She looks forward to being able to read for leisure. Her vacations usually involve spending time with family.

We would like to welcome Molly to our family here at The Tax Trio. She comes to us with a vast amount of knowledge and experience. She has been preparing taxes for 20 years and became an Enrolled Agent in 2010. She also has a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Accounting from Brigham Young University. Additionally, she is notary public and has the stamp to prove it.

Although we would like her full time, right now her day job is in the vital records department at Utah County Health Department. So, if you have any questions about getting a birth or death certificate, she would be glad to share her knowledge in that area.

We do let her have “some” personal time and when that happens, she enjoys singing in the Payson Civic Chorale, reading a good murder mystery book and keeps her brain sharp by doing jigsaw puzzles, even 2000 pieces don’t sway her resolve. She is married to a die-hard mechanic and never gives up, as the plethora of cars in their yard would attest to. Together they have 3 kids and 2 grandchildren, who Molly can’t get enough of. So, remember when she is doing your taxes, be nice and patient, because she could be with those grandkids instead.
