Hello, I'm
Tax Professional | Accounting Student
I'm Nishit "NG" Patel, an Accounting major at the University of Tennessee, Haslam College of Business, and a Virtual Tax Professional at H&R Block. I specialize in individual tax preparation, return reviews, and IRS and state compliance, having prepared and reviewed many federal and state returns. I'm detail-driven, deadline-focused, and committed to helping every client file accurately and keep more of what they've earned.
I'm an Accounting major at the University of Tennessee, Haslam College of Business (B.S. in Business Administration, graduating May 2027), with a genuine passion for tax and the details that make returns accurate.
As a Virtual Tax Professional at H&R Block, I conduct second-level reviews of federal and state individual returns, catching errors, omissions, and missed tax-saving opportunities. Earlier, as a Tax Advisor at Block Advisors, I prepared and reviewed numerous returns, including Schedule C and E filings, and analyzed client financials to maximize legitimate deductions while reducing audit risk.
My background also includes remote accounting support at JNG Financial and Management Pvt. Ltd. and teaching as a Supplemental Instructor for accounting students at Pellissippi State. Whether I'm reviewing a return or explaining debits and credits, my goal is the same: clarity, accuracy, and confidence.
