About LBS Tax

Sharon A. Lewis – President

Sharon owned her first business at 14, doing odd jobs in the community of her grandparents’ summer house. She has always been interested in business and began college to study business administration. Then, by chance, one of her professors pointed her toward accounting. Sharon spent ten years working in banking and mortgage loan operations. She has worked for a construction company, an employment agency, and retail sales and management. After the last bank she worked at was sold to another bank, Sharon decided to find something a little more stable and to call her own. She started LBS as a bookkeeping firm while continuing her knowledge base in taxation. While in school for her CPA, Sharon’s mom’s issues with the IRS caused her to focus her tax education on IRS representation. Sharon became an Enrolled Agent (IRS license), giving her the same authority as CPAs and attorneys before the IRS.

Sharon teaches classes to business owners who want to improve their cash flow, tax planning, and other tax and business topics. Sharon is also a CPA candidate.

When not working as a tax professional in Chandler, Sharon raises teenagers with her husband, rides bicycles, travels, and enjoys the outdoors.
