Amanda Patten, EA

Partner

Amanda grew up in small town Colorado where she enjoyed reading, singing, theater, and her pets. She took those loves to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa where she graduated with a TRIPLE major in Vocal Performance, Theater & Dance, and K-12 Music Education. She later graduated from the University of Northern Colorado, Greely with an MBA where she enjoyed general business and HR classes.

She fell into accounting as a profession through her love of organization and paperwork. Starting out as a seasonal tax admin, she then went full time, and moved into Business Development becoming a manager, then director, and is now a partner! (Congrats!)

Amanda is married to a tax accountant (who works at another firm), and they have a super active, adorable son. She hasn’t given up her love of reading, singing and pets — she has two dogs that grow enough fur to make a third dog — and when she’s not at work she loves traveling and spending time with her family.

Can you do something that only a few people can do?: “I can eat candy nonstop with no remorse and recite almost every episode of Friends (yes, I’m that old).”

Our Amazing Team Members

Wanna Talk About Your Small Business?

Please use the form below to tell us a little about yourself, and what you have going on with your small business or 1099 contractor gig. WCG CPAs & Advisors are small business CPAs, tax professionals and consultants, and we look forward to talking to you!

We typically schedule a 20-minute complimentary quick chat with one of our Partners or Senior Tax Professionals to determine if we are a good fit for each other, and how an engagement with our team looks. Tax returns only? Business advisory? Tax prep, and more importantly tax strategy and planning?

Should we need to schedule an additional consultation, our fee is $250 for 40 minutes. Fun! If we decide to press forward with a Business Advisory or Tax Patrol Services engagement, we will credit the consultation fee towards those services.

Appointments are typically held through Microsoft Teams and are scheduled on weekdays during the work day. Yes, we can easily accommodate nights and weekends, but those are reluctantly agreed to after some eye-rolling and complaining. Additionally, our schedules are more compressed during tax season (who would have thought, right?).

Shockingly we will return all appointment requests via email with 24-36 hours weather-permitting, or perhaps a phone call (if the moment strikes us). No black holes here! In a hurry, please call us at 719-387-9800.
