Bev Stitely, EA, CTC - Managing Partner
As the Managing Partner of Saunders Tax & Accounting, Inc., Bev Stitely is committed to meeting and exceeding the needs of every single client. That is why she has been setting the standard for professionalism and expertise since she started in the industry almost two decades ago. Her desire to develop well-trained and professional staff to better assist clients was evidenced by developing and teaching the Maryland approved Saunders Tax School in 2005. Today it continues as the Saunders Tax Course for training aspiring and returning tax return preparers. In addition, she teaches an intensive Advanced Tax Course to Saunders' advanced tax return preparers which addresses issues that are hot buttons to the IRS as well as covers new tax code. She single-handedly ensures that every Tax Return Preparer is educated about tax law changes and other procedures in an effort to provide every Saunders client with the biggest refund or smallest tax liability possible under IRS rules.
Bev ensures her own professional growth and development by staying active as a member of the National Association of Tax Professionals and as an Enrolled Agent (since 1997). To maintain the E.A. designation, she is required to take 72 hours of continuing education, which aids in keeping her abreast of the continually changing field of tax law. (An Enrolled Agent - E.A. - is an individual who is licensed by the IRS after passing a difficult multi-day examination and rigorous background check thereby demonstrating technical competence in the area of taxation.)
In 2010, Bev also attained the designation of Certified Tax Coach. She focuses on proactive tax planning for clients seeking to find significant savings before the tax deadline approaches.
While she has a passion for the tax business, her heart belongs to her family. Bev has been married to her husband, Doug, since 1986 and together they have two sons, Steven who is married to Mary, and Brian who is married to Tori.
John Saunders II, EA - Chief Financial Officer
With his name attached to the business, John Saunders is personally committed to continuing a reputation based on Honesty, Integrity and Experience. These attributes have been foundational to this company since inception in 1984. That is why he and Bev Stitely work closely together to seek new ways of adding even greater value to the services provided to each and every client.
John's professional expertise is in the investment side of the tax planning equation, however he began his career solely focused on tax preparation in 1990. However, client demand for investment advice created a natural segue into the financial arena. Since that time, John has been a Wealth Advisor for more than two decades, having been a partner and also owning his own financial planning firm. Today, he is focused on providing customized financial advice to his clients while incorporating his knowledge of tax planning. He is able to suggest ways of tax sheltering income streams that best suit each clients' needs while considering both the short term and long term tax ramifications. As a licensed wealth manager, he is registered with LPL Financial, the nation's largest independent Broker/Dealer.
John has been married to his wife, Stephanne, since 1995 and together they have two sons, Nathan and Logan.
