Searching for a CPA in West Omaha? Why Hiring an EA, CFP® professional, and CFA® charterholder Might Be a Better Fit.
Many people, when looking for a new tax professional, jump onto Google or an AI search assistant and look for “CPA near me” or “CPA in 68144”. That makes complete sense. CPAs complete rigorous education, exams, and experience requirements, and many do excellent tax work.
First, an important distinction: the head tax pro at Moyer Tax Services, Caleb Moyer, is not a CPA. He is an Enrolled Agent (EA).
While not as widely known by the general public, the Enrolled Agent license gives Caleb the exact same rights and privileges before the IRS for tax preparation and tax representation as a CPA. The Enrolled Agent is a federal license earned directly from the IRS by passing comprehensive exams focused strictly on individual taxes, business taxes, and IRS representation.
Do I Need a CPA? (The Difference Explained)

- CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional: This designation focuses holistically on financial planning topics like retirement mapping, insurance, estate planning, and multi-year tax minimization.
- Chartered Financial Analyst® charterholder: As one of the most rigorous designations in the global investment management world, this expertise allows Caleb to analyze the tax efficiency of your portfolio, helping make sure your investment choices, capital gains, and asset locations aren’t unnecessarily triggering higher tax bills.
If you are looking for tax preparation in West Omaha or the 68144 area and want strategic advice that considers more than just this April’s return, Moyer Tax Services may be the ideal match.

Current for Tax Year 2026
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally licensed tax professional who has earned their designation by passing a rigorous multi-part exam covering individual taxes, business taxes, and IRS representation. For tax preparation and representation before the IRS, an Enrolled Agent holds all the same rights and privileges as a CPA. The EA designation is specifically focused on taxation, whereas a CPA covers a broader range of accounting topics.
Most tax preparers focus exclusively on the current year’s return. Caleb Moyer brings a broader perspective by combining his Enrolled Agent license, while also being a CFP® professional and CFA® charterholder. This means your tax preparation can account for investment decisions, retirement planning, and long-term financial strategy, not just what you owe this April.
Quite possibly. While Caleb Moyer is not a CPA, his Enrolled Agent designation provides the same federal authority for tax prep and IRS representation. Clients who searched for a CPA in Omaha or the 68144 area and want more than compliance-focused tax work often find that Moyer Tax Services is a better match for their needs.
