Bernice Hassan, CPA

Has been a CPA since 2007 · Maryland CPA License #0044210

We are one of the nation’s leading experts in resolving complex IRS tax problems for individuals and small businesses.

For over a decade, my firm has served as an emergency room for people in tax crisis.

Our average client has four to eleven years of unfiled tax returns—which is daunting, but fixable. As a tax relief expert who knows the Internal Revenue Service inside and out, I believe that there’s a solution to every problem.

We help real estate agents, 1099 earners, and taxpayers facing urgent IRS problems find practical resolution options.

The rest of the team

Mejid Beraouz, EA, LLM

Tax Resolution Strategist

Mejid is an Enrolled Agent with a Master of Laws (LLM) in Taxation. As Tax Resolution Strategist, he designs the resolution path for every new case — mapping IRS transcripts, qualifying clients for Offers in Compromise, and choosing between partial-pay installments, Currently Not Collectible status, and hardship waivers.

Nyla Shafique

Tax Resolution Manager

Nyla manages every active resolution case from engagement through closure. She's the point of contact clients speak with most often — coordinating financial disclosures, filing IRS Forms 433-A and 656, and keeping Power of Attorney paperwork current so collection actions stop the moment we're engaged.

Naini Jain, Tax Consultant, in front of the Bernice Hassan & Associates CPA office lettering.

Naini Jain

Tax Consultant

Naini focuses on back-tax preparation — the foundation of every resolution case. She rebuilds unfiled returns from bank statements, 1099s, and IRS wage-and-income transcripts, and handles Maryland state tax filings alongside the federal work so clients do not resolve one issue only to be surprised by another.

Mahima Jain

John Amato, Business Development Specialist at Bernice Hassan & Associates CPA.

John Amato

Business Development Specialist

John is usually the first person you speak with. He runs the free case review — listening to what actually happened, getting the size and shape of the debt out on the table, and telling you honestly whether this is the right firm for it before anyone mentions a fee.

Tyrone Mobley, Business Development Specialist at Bernice Hassan & Associates CPA.

Tyrone Mobley

Business Development Specialist

Tyrone walks new clients through what the engagement actually involves — which documents we need, what the flat fee does and does not cover, and what the first weeks look like. His job is making sure nothing about working with us turns into a surprise later.
