Dane Janas, EA
Enrolled Agent and Owner-Operator, Portside Tax & Accounting
Dane Janas is an Enrolled Agent (EA) — the highest credential the IRS awards to tax professionals. Earning the EA designation requires passing a rigorous three-part examination covering every aspect of the U.S. tax code, and it grants federal authority to represent taxpayers before the IRS in audits, collections, and appeals.
As the founder and owner-operator of Portside Tax & Accounting, Dane serves individuals, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations nationwide — combining hands-on tax preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll with the representation rights that come only with a Treasury-issued license.
