Who We Are
Robert "Bob" Ferraro, EA
Enrolled Agent
​
Bob was born and raised in the Pittsburgh metro area. He attended the University of Pittsburgh and received a BS. After graduation he accepted a job at a major California bank, working his way up the ladder to AVP of the corporate accounting department. In 1986 he received a MBA degree from Pepperdine University in Malibu. In 1993 he moved to Florida to be closer to family and soon afterwards formed this firm.
​
In order to better serve our clients, Bob became an Enrolled Agent (EA). EAs are called America's tax experts. They are the only federally-licensed tax practitioners who both specialize in taxation and have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service.
​
Since moving to Florida, Bob has been active with several local organizations. He served 2 years as Treasurer for the Dunedin American Little League; and 20 years as Treasurer for the Our Lady of Lourdes Annual Fall Festival.
