I am passionate about educating employers, CPAs, attorneys and advisors on the technicalities of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). There is so much misinformation out there on the ACA that people are confused and struggling with what it all means. Helping them through these rules and regulations is the most fulfilling part of my job.

Tonya has 20+ years public accounting experience providing tax and consulting services to individuals and businesses. She currently leads the Firm’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) services, leads the Firm’s Employee Retention Credit (ERC) services and leads the Firm’s Employer-Provided Child Care Credit (45F) services. For the ACA, she assists large employers with the compliance requirements, Forms 1094-C and 1095-C, and advises on technical ACA rules. In addition, she works with expanding small businesses to ensure they are measuring their employees correctly and selecting the best insurance plan for their business. Tonya regularly works with clients on various ACA IRS notices and has been successful in getting most of these penalties abated. For the ERC, she helps businesses correctly determine if they qualify and works with clients to comply with the technical rules. She also provides assistance with the IRS to support ERC claims. For the 45F credit, she provides technical guidance to employers on the benefits to both their employees and their stakeholders.

When you work with Tonya, you'll be working with one of the most knowledgeable professionals of the ACA. She has traveled around the United States speaking at various seminars and meetings educating others. She has advised CPAs, attorneys, insurance providers and software companies throughout the years, and she is also part of the AICPA's Affordable Care Act Task Force.

Outside of work, Tonya enjoys spending time with family, gardening, golfing and running.
