The Team
Ellen Mitchell
Ellen Mitchell’s journey with taxes began in 1995 when she first used TurboTax. What started as a straightforward task quickly turned into a passion as friends sought her help with their own returns. In 2005, she decided to take her interest to the next level by enrolling in H&R Block’s tax class. After her first season there, Ellen was captivated. She thrived on working with clients, helping them navigate tax challenges, uncovering ways to save for the upcoming year, and demystifying the tax system tailored to their unique situations.
Ellen’s commitment to her profession led her to become an Enrolled Agent, allowing her to represent clients before the IRS and provide expert tax advice. In 2020, she took a bold step and founded Columbia Tax Services, aiming to provide her clients with year-round support and proactive solutions. It was the best decision she ever made.
Ellen is dedicated to building lasting relationships with her clients and looks forward to helping you with your tax needs. Reach out to Columbia Tax Services today to start your journey toward financial clarity and peace of mind!
