Patricia Rumschlag – President
Patricia grew up on her parent’s farm in Adams County just outside of Decatur, Indiana. Studying accounting at Bellmont High School she continued her higher education at the International Business College and went on to earn her Bachelors in Accounting at Fort Wayne’s University of Saint Francis.
Initially she worked for and was mentored by Fort Wayne CPA Rex Harris of Harris and Associates Inc. Fifteen years of multifaceted bookkeeping for both Public and Private clients gave her the exposure, experience, and self-confidence to make a life changing career move.
During 2001 Patricia launched In Balance Books. She immediately called upon and applied her prior training and perfectionist nature to her client’s specific financial needs. To date her efforts have been rewarded with a loyal client base throughout the Decatur, Indiana and the Greater Fort Wayne, Indiana area. As clients have relocated her scope of services now includes most of the continental United States and Hawaii.
Along the way she became a tax specialist and an Enrolled Agent, a person who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. While applying QuickBooks to her client’s situations Patricia became a QuickBooks Specialist in 2000 and has been a ProAdvisor since 2002. Additionally, her continuing education regiment includes annual QuickBooks Recertification, pre-tax season seminars conducted by various authorities, professional sessions, seminars, and meetings. She is constantly studying the ever changing State and Federal tax instructions, guidelines, regulations and laws.
In 2024 Tax Superstars picked up where inBalance Books left off. Providing the same great customer service and ethical, professional, and outstanding tax, bookkeeping and consulting services.
Patricia states one key to her success is, “When we are working for a client we are totally focused on that client’ needs and wellbeing, as if they were our only client.”
She belongs to and supports a number of Community and Professional groups and associations.
Still living in Decatur Patricia’s family includes her husband Rick, four children and seven grandchildren. Church, Community Service, Flowers and Family provide the “Pressure Relief” for her demanding lifestyle.
