Zain Nensey recently returned to his hometown of Zephyrhills to open a new accounting firm at 5633 Sixth Street, called Nensey & Associates, C
A 2011 graduate of University of South Florida, Nensey worked for Jackson Hewitt as a tax analyst in Sarasota before opening his business. While his position there was challenging, Nensey missed his family and hometown.
“I decided the time was right to use my knowledge and enthusiasm to help people and small businesses in my hometown with their tax planning and preparation,” said Nensey.
Nensey describes himself as someone who likes to delve in and work exceedingly hard to get his clients the maximum return possible.
“The biggest paycheck my clients receive all year is their tax refund,” he said.
And, because he keeps his overhead low, he provides his professional services at a low cost.
“I am an excellent counterpoint to more established firms,” said Nensey. “I like to think of myself as a value operator — someone who has the knowledge to give clients the most for their money.”
Having just earned his CPA license in 2013, Nensey’s professional knowledge is current and up to date, especially regarding the new tax laws that go into effect for 2018 tax filings.
“I am working with clients now to prepare for the changes,” said Nensey. “In most cases, the new tax laws will benefit pass-through companies that file as an S-Corp, sole proprietor, partnership and single-member LLC.”
Businesses that typically qualify as pass-through companies are beauty salons, retail stores, physicians, household services and nonprofit organizations, Nensey said. These businesses will be able to deduct 20% of their earnings before taxes are calculated if their income is below $157,000 for individuals, and $315,000 for married couples.
In addition to working with small businesses, Nensey also specializes in preparing tax returns for seniors and veterans.
“We actually offer a 25% discount off our fees for seniors and veterans,” said Nensey. “We charge between $75 and $100 for a typical return, which compares to $150 to $200, at national tax preparation chains.”
For individuals and businesses that have tax problems, Nensey is an Enrolled Agent with the IRS, which allows him to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels, including examination, collection, settlements and appeals.
If you dream about opening a business, the time to do so couldn’t be better than right now, Nensey said, who gives four reasons why:
- The new tax laws are very advantageous to pass-through business.
2. The economy is in great shape, and is expected to continue to grow for quite a while.
3. People are flush with cash and looking to invest their money.
4. The connect between Zephyrhills and Wesley Chapel is growing, which is bringing new customers from central Pasco to east Pasco.
“If you have a business idea you want to explore, or a charity that you are passionate about – this is the time to act,” said Nensey.
Nensey attended Woodland Elementary in Zephyrhills and Jesuit High School. His father is Dr. Yawer M. Nensey, a gastroenterologist who has practiced in Zephyrhills for over 25 years.
