Bill Nemeth, Merry Brodie and Chet Burgess joined Ilyce to discuss this year’s tax filing season on the Ilyce Glink Show on February 23, 2014 on WSB Radio.
Ilyce’s show always contains various forms of personal finance advice but she invited three engaged and intelligent professionals to give tips and advice on tax filing this year.
These three experts have strong opinions regarding certain issues Americans are facing:
Bill Nemeth is the immediate past president of the Georgia Association of Enrolled Agents (GAEA) and a founding member of the GAEA Education Foundation. He is currently the GAEA Membership Chair as well as the Education Chair. He is active at the National Level as well (Affiliate Council Member of NAEA).
He holds a bachelor’s degree (Kettering Institute) and master’s degree (MIT) in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA in Marketing (Wayne State University).
Bill and his wife Merry Brodie, Enrolled Agent, recently sold their franchise tax business which prepares up to 12,000 returns per year. With his strong focus on education, he creates and presents tax seminars at local Enrolled Agent chapter meetings. He promotes Enrolled Agents through frequent appearances on a major Atlanta radio talk show and tax seminars to numerous CDC Campuses throughout the Atlanta area. He has been interviewed by WSB TV for several stories on the fiscal cliff and tax identity theft. Bloomberg has cited some of his tax articles.
