Emily maldonado

Enrolled Agent

Patty has been preparing tax returns since 1990. Although she specializes in the returns of Law Enforcement, Teachers, Medical Professionals and Rental owners, she jokingly adds that she does taxes for "normal people", too. Patty was a 911 Dispatcher for over 30 years. Her husband, Ernie, is a police officer at Montebello Police Department. They have three grown daughters and 3 grandchildren. When it's not Tax Season, her hobbies include traveling with Ernie, going to Disneyland and lounging at the local Starbucks. 

Jesse became a CRTP in 2018 but has been preparing taxes for friends and family, as a hobby, since the early 1980’s. He has always been intrigued with ways to help people minimize their tax liabilities. So much so, that he tries to apply this in all he does. He is married to his high school sweetheart of Paramount High School for over 36 years; he has 4 kids and 4 granddaughters. He has also known the Sinohui family for as many years because his wife and Vincent’s wife are childhood friends. He always wanted to join The Tax Place family, and finally did so when he got licensed to prepare taxes. He is fluent in Spanish. Jesse looks forward to helping the community.
