About April Bryson Bahrs, CPA, EA

Tax Professional & Small Business Advisor

My journey in accounting began in the early 2000s while building websites to fund college. As I completed my first accounting course, a client asked for help with his books. With a passion for learning, I dove head first into QuickBooks. Before long, I was processing payroll, filing sales tax returns, and managing finances for small businesses.
Over the years I've gained an extensive amount of real-world experience in industry accounting and small business management. I've worked with businesses in a wide range of industries including engineering, medical, aviation, real estate, and light manufacturing.
Prior to registering my practice as a CPA firm, my services were provided through Bryson Bahrs, LLC, an Enrolled Agent practice dedicated to personalized tax services. My practice was renamed Bryson Bahrs CPA, PLLC upon registering as a Certified Public Accounting firm.
