STONE MOUNTAIN, GA, August 27, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Steven P. Perry has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Perry's career in tax representation, preparation and planning spans more than a decade as chief executive officer of Books, Taxes & More in Stone Mountain, Georgia, a practice he has operated since 2013. In this role, he manages all aspects of his business, from client tax representation and advisory services to marketing and administrative operations. As a one-man operation, he is responsible for maintaining the highest standards in every facet of the practice, insisting that any future staff must meet rigorous expectations to ensure clients receive only the best service. His expertise encompasses individual and corporate tax return preparation, enrolled agent federal tax practice, IRS dispute resolution and comprehensive tax planning. He is widely recognized for his ability to handle complex cases with diligence and empathy.

Among his most notable professional achievements is his successful resolution of a challenging case involving a single mother who owned a small restaurant in Georgia. After she received poor advice and failed to pay sales tax for two years, the state assessed more than a quarter-million dollars in liabilities. Mr. Perry spent five months negotiating with the Georgia Department of Revenue, ultimately securing an arrangement that reduced her monthly payments to a manageable amount and waived $70,000 in penalties and interest. This outcome saved her business.

Prior to establishing his tax practice, Mr. Perry served in the U.S. Army from May 1981 until he left active duty in October 1992. His military service took him through various duty stations, including Fort Bliss near El Paso, Texas as well as overseas to Greece. The discipline and perseverance honed during his 11.5-year military career laid the groundwork for his later success in civilian life. From 1981 to 2000 he was a computer programmer and from 2000 to 2013 he worked as a life insurance agent.

Mr. Perry's educational background includes a master's degree in accounting from Grand Canyon University, earned in 2014, which provided him with advanced technical knowledge directly applicable to his work in tax representation and planning. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in general engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point, graduating in 1981. His decision to pursue a career focused on tax matters was influenced by early exposure to the field through his mother, who conducted tax preparation classes at home when he was a child.

In addition to his academic credentials, Mr. Perry holds several professional certifications that underscore his expertise. He is an enrolled agent licensed by the Internal Revenue Service, a distinction he values for its historical significance and its focus on direct federal oversight of ethical conduct and continuing education. He is also a certified tax representation consultant through the Tax Rep Network, an advanced crypto tax expert certified by Crypto Tax Academy since 2019 and a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor credentialed by Intuit since 2016.

Throughout his career, Mr. Perry has contributed articles to multiple professional magazines and has been recognized for excellence within his field. His firm was named among the best accounting firms in Gwinnett County, Georgia, for 2025 — an honor reflecting both client satisfaction and peer recognition.

Civic involvement is another cornerstone of Mr. Perry's professional life. He currently serves as the president of the Atlanta chapter of the Georgia Association of Enrolled Agents, where he advocates for high standards within the profession and supports fellow practitioners through leadership and mentorship. Additionally, he is finance officer for American Legion Post 233 in Loganville, Georgia, as the post's chief financial officer and working to ensure its ongoing stability and growth. Over three decades of volunteer service with the Boy Scouts of America further demonstrate his commitment to community engagement and youth development.

Mr. Perry's achievements have been recognized with several awards throughout his career. He holds the Eagle Scout double legacy distinction — having both attained Eagle Scout status himself and guided two sons to do the same — as well as multiple service awards from his time in the U.S. Army.

Born on December 6, 1958, in Bethesda, Maryland, Mr. Perry spent his early years in Asheville, North Carolina, before moving with his family to Wyoming at age six following his father's desire to answer Horace Greeley's call "Go west young man, go west." His upbringing instilled in him qualities of resilience and determination. Overall, he attributes much of his success to being "as stubborn as a Missouri mule" and adhering to values learned from family, like once you start something, you finish it.

In his personal life, Mr. Perry is married to Janyce Perry — whose first name honors her mother's unique spelling — marking nearly three decades together since their marriage in November 1997. Mr. Perry has two sons from a previous marriage. He is also the proud grandfather of six grandchildren who reside with Mr. Perry's oldest son and his wife in New Jersey.

Outside of work, Mr. Perry enjoys woodworking — having transformed his garage into a dedicated wood shop — building furniture and shelving units as needed around the home. He also takes pride in maintaining the yard on his property through regular lawn care and home improvement projects. Looking ahead, he aims to grow Books, Taxes & More beyond its current revenue benchmarks while ensuring that American Legion Post 233 remains strong under his stewardship when he eventually steps down from office there. In both his personal and professional dealings, he aims to be honest and straightforward, having no tolerance for nonsense.
