She worked full-time during the day and earned her bachelor\u2019s degree from Ottawa University at night. Later she found the tax professional status of Enrolled Agent and determined that was the next learning objective. Experience is very important as a tax professional, but it is is also imperative to keep current on the constantly changing tax laws.  Through continuing education, professional forums, and publications, she fills her need for constant learning. She also loves learning all the tips and tricks of the QuickBooks Accounting software and keeps her ProAdvisor status current each year.  She\u2019s a bit of a workaholic but loves it when she can find tax solutions or resolutions for her clients. When she\u2019s not working, her passion is her family. She has been married to her best friend since 1995 and together they have three beautiful and amazing children. She also enjoys and supports various community and charitable organizations. She enjoys most musical genres, reading historical fiction, children, musical theater, and puzzles for relaxation.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7286302 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7286302\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/about\/accounting-experience\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read More<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd4e2c8 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bd4e2c8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb150c1 e-con-full e-grid e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bb150c1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4fbe9e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d4fbe9e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1906f8d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1906f8d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86ff868 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"86ff868\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1138\" alt=\"Jennifer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-1535x2048.jpeg 1535w, https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-960x1280.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-456x608.jpeg 456w, https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-375x500.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/demolink.site\/trudystaxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image0-scaled.jpeg 1919w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbca479 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"dbca479\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8250f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a8250f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Full Charge Bookkeeper since 2017\n<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ef7f1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1ef7f1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Jennifer Freda\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54906aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54906aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJennifer is a ProAdvisor and is QuickBooks certified.
