Meet Dr. Troy Eckhardt
IRS Enrolled Agent & Small Business Tax Advisor 27+ Years of Tax Planning,
Bookkeeping & IRS Enrolled Agent Expertise
Dr. Troy Eckhardt is a federally licensed IRS Enrolled Agent, seasoned accountant, and founder of Eckhardt Accounting — a full-service small business accounting firm built on decades of experience, practical wisdom, and an unshakable commitment to integrity. Troy’s mission is simple: to empower small business owners to build wealth, reduce tax liability, and plan for the future with confidence and dignity.
Troy’s career began in the classroom as a German and physics teacher — but a calling closer to home redirected his path. Inspired by his father, an audit group supervisor for the Florida Department of Revenue, Troy pursued a bachelor’s degree in accounting and earned his IRS Enrolled Agent designation — a federal credential that authorizes him to represent clients before the IRS on audits, collections, and appeals.
In 2000, after steadily building a loyal base of small business accounting clients, Troy transitioned full-time into professional tax and accounting services. By 2012, he acquired his father’s firm — and the two continued working side by side in separate corporations until his father’s passing in 2021. That legacy of family partnership and professional excellence remains at the very core of Eckhardt Accounting’s values today.
From Strategic Tax Wins to Dedicated Small Business Accounting
One defining moment stands out early in Troy’s career: he and his father uncovered a little-known sales tax rule that saved a client $60,000 in a single engagement. That win lit the fire — it wasn’t just about crunching numbers. It was about creating real-world impact through strategic tax planning and deep IRS Enrolled Agent expertise.
Today, Troy’s focus is laser-sharp: helping small business owners grow their revenue, reduce their tax liability, and position themselves for long-term financial success. He understands that business owners work hard to build what they have — but often overlook their own financial future. His work bridges that gap with practical tax strategy, small business accounting services, and a fierce dedication to long-term client success.
Outside of business, Troy finds joy in studying the Bible, spending time with his family, and constantly learning about the universe. He doesn’t measure success by wealth or accolades — but by how selflessly he can serve others and provide for those he loves.
If there’s one thing people remember about Troy Eckhardt, let it be this: he is a man who values honesty, transparency, and integrity — both in business and in life.
