Elizabeth was raised in El Dorado County, and a graduate of El Dorado High School. As the daughter of a CPA, Elizabeth learned she had a knack for working numbers, and in 1996 received her Enrolled Agent license, and became certified to prepare taxes and represent her clients with government agencies.
After trying the city life in Sacramento, Elizabeth moved back to El Dorado County in 1999 and formed a partnership with her father, Dixion & Dixon CPA’s. When her father retired in 2014, Elizabeth created Pony Express Tax Services and brought in another Enrolled Agent to assist with her growing roster of clients. As an El Dorado County native and recipient of a legacy business, Elizabeth has benefited from establishing long-term relationships with her clients and is known for her kindness, patience, and compassionate nature.
As an entrepreneur, and professional businesswoman, Elizabeth understands the needs of entrepreneurs, individuals, corporations, retirees, and anyone else having to navigate regulatory compliance. Elizabeth’s clients have benefited from Elizabeth’s dedication to her profession, her expertise in taxation, her continuing education, and her commitment to providing clients with peace of mind, knowing their personal and business requirements are in capable hands.
