Nicki

Nicki is a Senior Tax Associate at K&R Strategic Partners with 10 years of combined experience across bookkeeping and tax, including the past three and a half years with the firm.

An Enrolled Agent, she focuses on tax preparation, IRS representation, and bookkeeping — helping clients stay compliant while bringing order and clarity to their financial picture. Her career began with a decade in bookkeeping, giving her a deep, hands-on understanding of the day-to-day financial operations behind every accurate return. Over the past five years she has built on that foundation in tax, where her ability to connect clean books to sound tax outcomes sets her apart.

Nicki holds a Bachelor's degree from Aurora University and a Master's in Fraud and Forensics from Carlow University, and she is QuickBooks Online Level 2 Certified. That forensic background gives her a sharp eye for detail and a disciplined, investigative approach — qualities that serve her well in IRS representation and in catching the discrepancies that matter before they become problems.

Clients value her thorough, practical approach and her commitment to clear communication. She works to make a complicated process feel manageable, meeting people where they are and guiding them through with patience and precision.
