Playing with children from Great Mercy Children’s Home in Kitale, Kenya.

I recently moved to Clarkston, MI. I love the location and the community, but the best part has to be living so close to family, especially my nieces.

Hello, my name is Robin Scrace. I’m thrilled to be the new Office Manager at Senter, CPA, and I would love to introduce myself, as well as share a little of my heart with you.

I grew up just 13 miles northwest of Clarkston, in Holly, MI, with my parents, my older brother and two sisters (one older and one younger). My deep value for family as well as serving others has woven itself into every chapter of my life.

While earning my Associate degree at Oakland Community College, my passion for serving others led to my involvement at a community outreach center in Waterford, MI from 2008-2011. The central focus of the center was tending to the needs of the children in the community – most of whom were either in the foster system and/or had very unhealthy, unstable home lives.

From there I went on a number of missions trips, most of which were 7-10 day trips to El Salvador and Germany. In 2010 I traveled to 11+ countries with a group of about 50 persons through an organization called Adventures in Missions. Over the course of those 7 months, our goal was the same with each country we entered – to partner with local organizations and offer our services to fill a need. We distributed food and clothing to the homeless, built schools and orphanages, painted buildings, did various construction projects and farming, visited children in hospitals and orphanages, taught English classes, and more.

After returning to the states in 2013, I spent the next six years working as the Operations Manager for an online golf business. During that time, I refined my office, management, and client-service skills. Knowing I was also looking for a deeper level of growth and development, my then-employer enrolled me in Dale Carnegie’s ‘Effective Communications & Human Relations’ course in 2016. Then, in 2017 I spent 9 months training to become a certified, professional Life Coach through IPEC. I am so grateful for the experience and the skills I’ve gained through both Dale Carnegie and IPEC, as I know they will continue to benefit myself, as well as those I encounter, in every area and walk of life.

I have found the words of U.S. Army veteran John Holmes to ring most true when he said, “There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.” Whether a child at an outreach center, a stranger on the streets of a third-world country, or a client at work, people have always been the heartbeat behind everything I do. I am passionate about putting my heart in my work and executing it with excellence. I feel so honored to be a part of the Senter, CPA team, where the value for excellence and passion for people are at the forefront of all that they do. 

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I am sincerely looking forward to serving you.

So You Filed Your Taxes… Now What?

You did it. You gathered the documents, answered the questions, signed where needed, and got your tax return filed. If we helped prepare it for you, we can confidently say you handled your part like a pro. Now comes the part nobody loves but everyone participates in anyway: waiting for your refund.

Missed Tax Deadline?

If April 15 came and went and you didn’t file your tax return, or submit an extension, you’re definitely not the only one. It happens every year for all kinds of reasons. The important thing now is what you do next.

The IRS Dirty Dozen for 2026 and Why Those “Tax Hacks” Might Cost You

Every year, the IRS releases its “Dirty Dozen” list of tax scams, and every year the schemes get a little more creative and a lot more convincing. The 2026 list is no exception.

Extensions Aren’t Scary

Not going to make the April 15the deadline?

That’s okay. Nothing bad will happen.

A tax extension gives you more time to file. It does not give you more time to pay.

National Reading Month at Senter, CPA 

March is National Reading Month, and it’s a reminder of something simple but incredibly powerful: books change lives.

Most of us can remember our favorite childhood story. You know the one we asked to hear again and again before bedtime, or the book that first made reading feel fun instead of like homework. Those early moments matter more than we often realize. They help children build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

That’s one of the reasons Senter, CPA has chosen to support the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Sharing Online Banking with Your Accountant
