Terri E. Eli, EA, established Eli Bookkeeping & Tax Services in 1984. The business name was shortened to Eli Tax Service in 2004. Eli Tax Service provides tax preparation, tax representation, and bookkeeping to individuals and businesses.

As an Enrolled Agent (EA), Terri Eli is licensed to represent taxpayers before IRS without their being present. EA’s are tax consultants that advise, represent, and prepare tax returns for individuals, partnerships, corporations, estates, trusts, and any entities with tax-reporting requirements.

Eli Tax Service is located in Burlingame, CA. The local area served is San Francisco,
So. San Francisco, San Bruno, Millbrae, Burlingame, San Mateo, Foster City, Redwood City, San Jose, Hayward, and Oakland. Basically we cover the entire San Francisco-Bay Area. We cover the entire Peninsula, the North Bay, South Bay and East Bay. Since the EA is a federal license we can represent taxpayers in whatever state they reside. In many cases, with the use of a fax machine, e-mail and regular mail, we have never met the taxpayer in person although we have talked extensively on the phone.

Eli Tax Service has been a member of the San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau of San Mateo County since 1988.
