About Community Accounting Asheville

Community Accounting Asheville (CAA) has been preparing taxes for over 12 years. Maggie Barry is an Enrolled Agent, which is a tax specialist credentialed by the IRS. CAA does its best to bring empathy to the table, as taxes can be anxiety producing for many. Whether you are all caught up- or need years of back taxes filed- Maggie is here to help!

When Maggie is not crunching numbers, she enjoys being in the woods with her dog, spending time with her grandson, or growing organic fruit.

  • I’m truly relieved to have found my new tax advisor, Maggie. She’s an IRS-credentialed Enrolled Agent (EA), and I actually found her through the IRS database. After interviewing a few EAs by phone, Maggie stood out immediately—seemed super easy to work with—and after reading other client reviews, I felt confident I was in the right hands. I was behind on filing my taxes, and Maggie didn’t hesitate to prioritize my situation. She’s fast, organized, and incredibly responsive—she even worked over a weekend to help me gain traction right away. That first impression meant a lot. Just as important, she’s professional, pleasant, and easy to talk to. After a lot of stress, Maggie has been a real steadying force for me. If you need someone who will move quickly, treat you with respect, and help you get back on track, I highly recommend her.

  • We just moved to Asheville and were delighted to find Maggie's local tax prep services. She handled all of our materials swiftly and thoughtfully, and navigated submitting our joint tax filing, which included multiple small businesses, W-2 jobs, and us having moved between states. We're so grateful to have connected with Maggie and would definitely recommend her for your tax preparation needs!

  • Maggie has been a Godsend in my life. Before Maggie came into my life I was worried that I would not be able to manage my business finances and this worry kept me small in my business. I am now dreaming and actualizing big expansion in my business and I feel confident to move forward with this because I have Maggie's knowledge, expertise and experience to guide me along my way. Maggie is thorough and organized and she shows up in a way for me that helps me to step more into my own gifts and abilities without making me feel inadequate for the areas in which I am not as capable. It feels good to have Maggie on my team!
