A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) is licensed by the New Jersey Board of Public Accountancy and can perform audits, prepare tax returns, and offer broader financial advisory work. An Enrolled Agent (EA) is licensed by the IRS and specializes in tax — both can represent you before the IRS, but only CPAs can issue audit opinions.
Most tax preparation can be done fully remotely with secure document upload — you don't need a local CPA. However, a Pine Brook-based CPA may have stronger familiarity with New Jersey state-specific deductions, local business rules, and regional industry tax nuances.
Hire a CPA if you have self-employment income, rental properties, multi-state filings, equity compensation (RSUs/ISOs), inheritance, complex investments, or you're starting/selling a business. For a simple W-2 return with no dependents, software is usually enough.
