Rebecca L. Martin, CPA (Alaska)

I am new to TaxAlmanac and heard about it from Lacerte.

I am an Alaska CPA and moved to Anchorage after my graduation with a BS/MS from the University of North Texas. I have over 9 years of experience, over 1 year with Deloitte & Touché and almost 5 years with a 32-person regional firm, leaving as a tax manager. In 2003, I began my own firm, specializing in estate, gift, and trust compliance, research and planning.

Although I would love to be completely specialized in estate, trust and gift, living in the Anchorage area lends itself to a more generalist practice. I continue to service small service businesses (of various entity types) and some individuals.

I began using Lacerte software with the 2004 tax season. I also occasionally use QuickBooks for clients, mostly for my own practice's accounting. Other software regularly used includes EVP (Estate Valuation Pricing), TValue, and the basic Microsoft office programs - Word, Excel, and Outlook.
