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.

Small Business Scams to Watch Out for This Fall

September is a good time for a fresh start.
Summer is winding down, routines are getting back to normal, and businesses are settling into the final stretch of the year.
It is also a good time to remind yourself and your employees to be careful with financial information.

What To Do If You’re Behind on Your Taxes

Falling behind on your taxes can feel overwhelming, but addressing the issue promptly is the best way to minimize additional penalties and interest. Ignoring unpaid taxes rarely makes the problem go away, and the IRS offers several options to help taxpayers resolve their balances. At Senter CPA, we work with individuals and business owners to develop practical solutions and navigate the IRS resolution process with confidence.

If you’ve ever spent hours researching your fantasy football draft only to watch your first-round pick get injured, you’ve experienced something every business owner understands: Even the best plans sometimes get sacked.

Your Guide to IRS Tax Transcripts

I can think of worse ways to help local kids than spending a Thursday night eating, drinking, bidding on stuff you probably do not need, and hanging out with 350 to 450 of your favorite Clarkston friends.

Planning Ahead: Small Steps That Can Save Big Later

Even in the middle of tax season, it’s not too late to make moves that can save your business money and headaches down the line. Many business owners get caught up in the day-to-day and wait until the very end to think about taxes. The truth is, a few small steps now can make a big difference later.

Keep Your Receipts Nearby and Organized

Business owners understand that receipts are everywhere and also can seemingly end up nowhere to be found.

Are Unused Subscriptions Costing You Money?

As household expenses continue to rise, identifying unnecessary recurring charges is a practical way to improve cash flow without making significant lifestyle changes. Many consumers unknowingly pay for subscriptions they no longer use, forgot to cancel after a free trial, or no longer find valuable. While individual charges may seem insignificant, the combined annual cost can amount to hundreds of dollars.

Your Year-End Tax Bill Shouldn’t Be a Surprise

December has a way of making tax planning feel urgent—but by December, you’re already behind the strategy and some of the best planning opportunities could have already passed you.
