Host Zachary Green interviews Ed Villanueva, a Helotes-based tax accountant and consultant with over 40 years of experience, including five years at the IRS, where he received extensive training and gained insight into issues not covered in college.
Ed explains moving into private practice after partnering with a retired IRS manager, promoting services through San Antonio radio, and building a firm that provides year-round help with IRS debt, notices, audits, occasional criminal investigation matters, and business services like bookkeeping, payroll, and tax planning, alongside two annual tax seasons tied to filing and extensions. He also discusses serving 10 years on the Helotes city council and as mayor pro tem, Helotes’ limited commercial zoning and higher household incomes, and efforts to create a buffer around the city limits to protect future revenue opportunities and city services. He closes by describing E. Villanueva & Associates, Inc., which has been in Helotes since 1991, emphasizing small-firm personal service and free initial consultations.
