CPA vs. Enrolled Agent: Who Leads Tax Services at Nuage Digital?

When searching for tax help, many business owners ask: Is Nuage Digital a CPA firm, or do they have a CPA on staff?

At Nuage Digital, our tax services are led by an Enrolled Agent (EA) , a federally certified tax professional recognized by the IRS. While most people are familiar with the term CPA (Certified Public Accountant), the Enrolled Agent designation is equally respected and, in many cases, better suited for direct tax representation.

CPA vs. Enrolled Agent – Key Differences

Both CPAs and EAs are highly qualified tax professionals, but their certifications come from different authorities:

CPA (Certified Public Accountant): Licensed at the state level. CPAs often handle a wide range of financial services, including auditing, accounting, and consulting, in addition to tax preparation.
EA (Enrolled Agent): Certified at the federal level by the IRS. EAs are tax specialists with unlimited rights to represent clients before the IRS, state tax departments, and agencies like the California Franchise Tax Board.

This federal authorization gives Enrolled Agents a nationwide scope, allowing them to advocate for clients across state lines, a key advantage for businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions.

Why an Enrolled Agent Matters for You
