About Joseph Smith RRT, EA, MSTax
Joseph grew up in Greenville, SC, but after graduating from college and marrying his wife, Daina, he hit the road as a traveling respiratory therapist. Those years were fun, with assignments in MN, OH, LA, CT, PA, and MD, but during that time, he began to gather tax clients, eventually using his accounting degree more than his respiratory therapy degree. It was then that Daina made him hang up the stethoscope, because she could see what was coming next.
Joe is driven; his Myers-Briggs personality profile is INTJ, aka “the mastermind,” and it fits him. Knowledge is to be constantly gained, categorized and utilized. That benefits his clients, in that they know that he constantly has his finger on the pulse of the latest tax issues. He also writes for magazines and blogs, posts on numerous tax forums, and answers dozens of emails every day.
Travel is still a big part of his life, but now it is for seminars and consulting contracts with healthcare staffing firms, reviewing their reimbursement policies and giving recruiters in-services so they understand the tax issues better. He and Daina have almost completed their goal of visiting all 50 states—they are missing just four!
