Enrolled agents are licensed by the IRS. They can perform the same tasksas a CPA with the huge exception of certifying financial statements/audits.
It is irrelevant what degrees they hold. Thus EA's can prepare tax
returns and represent taxpayers in front of the IRS or state tax entities. If
they are so inclined they can do bookkeeping too.

Update: Accountants and Lawyers: is someone with a BBA in accounting
allowed to call themselves an "accountant" when they are not a CPA (but are an
Enrolled Agent)? Is this an "accountant" that must be hired formally under11 USC 327 as an "accountant" or is this a bookkeeper (paraprofessional)? (I
was under the impression this person was a bookkeeper but just saw the
resume.) I am filing the employment app regardless. I just want to know what I
am dealing with and whether this is an accountant or a bookkeeper. She
calls herself an accountant.

Small mom and pop shop. Confirmation was denied because UST pointed out
some issues with books. Judge said debtor needs a "mentor" to clean up thequickbooks. When I suggested filing a motion to employ a CPA judge said just
get a mentor. Debtor's principals want to have their personal bookkeeper
clean up the books but she will charge. Do I need an employment app for this
bookkeeper?
