Meet Maryann Fiore Hopkins
The advisor clients call first — for every financial decision that matters.
For more than three decades, Maryann Fiore Hopkins has built a boutique practice around a simple idea: real financial guidance is a relationship, not a transaction. As an Enrolled Agent — the highest credential awarded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury — she is federally licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS in all fifty states.
She started Professional Business & Tax Services to be the kind of firm she couldn't find as a young accountant: warm, honest, deeply personal, and available year-round — not just from January through April. Today, clients stay for decades because Maryann understands their businesses, their families, and the long arc of their financial lives.
She serves South Florida business owners, professional practices, retirees, families, and community associations across Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach, and West Palm Beach — with the same care she'd want for her own family.
"Tax laws change every year. Trusted relationships shouldn't. My clients don't need another software login — they need someone who actually knows their story."
Relationships built to last
Tax laws change constantly. Trusted advisors shouldn't.
While high-volume tax offices see clients once a year, Maryann is invested in the long arc of your financial life. The difference shows up in the questions we ask, the planning we do together, and the years — often decades — clients stay with the firm.
This is what a real financial partnership looks like.
Personalized attention
Every engagement begins with your story — the business you're running, the family you're supporting, the future you're building toward.
Year-round accessibility
Real answers when you need them — not a form letter in April. Maryann is a phone call away, twelve months a year.
Honest advice
Straightforward guidance you can act on. No jargon, no upsells — just the counsel that's right for your situation.
Proactive planning
Quarterly check-ins, tax projections, and life-event reviews so nothing important ever comes as a surprise.
Long-term partnership
Clients stay for decades. We plan together across careers, businesses, children, retirement, and legacy.
Financial confidence
You'll finish every conversation knowing exactly where you stand and what to do next.

South Florida's business owners, families, and community associations each need something different from their accountant — and each of them deserves a real relationship with someone who genuinely understands them.

Why clients stay
Decades of relationships. Not once-a-year transactions.
The relationships Maryann has built across South Florida are the work she's proudest of. Here's what a few of them have shared.
Maryann has done our family's taxes for over twenty years. She's the first call for every big financial decision — and she treats every one of them like it's her own.
The Delgado Family

As a board president, I finally sleep at night. Our monthly financials are on time, the budget conversations make sense, and the residents can see exactly where their money goes.
