Joe Serrone
Managing Partner

Joe Serrone is the Managing Partner of Polaris Tax & Accounting and a federally licensed Enrolled Agent (EA) with full authority to represent individuals and businesses before the IRS in audits, collections, and appeals. With deep expertise in federal taxation and a no-nonsense approach to strategy, Joe works with clients who expect more than just basic tax prep—they want clarity, structure, and a plan that actually makes sense.

Polaris was built on that principle: proactive, year-round guidance that helps clients stay compliant while keeping more of what they earn. Joe has helped small businesses and individual clients restructure entities, reduce self-employment tax, maximize both personal and business tax profiles, and address IRS compliance issues and significant penalties.

Joe is known for being direct, detail-oriented, and relentless in protecting his clients’ financial interests. His background combines technical tax expertise with real-world experience in solving the kinds of problems most firms overlook—like multi-state tax filings, IRS account cleanup, and fixing incomplete or incorrect work left behind by prior preparers.

Based in North Carolina and Florida, Joe and his team help individuals, entrepreneurs, and small businesses across the United States get the answers—and outcomes—they deserve.

Vickie Serrone
Managing Partner
Banker, marketer, closer, and all-round ringleader of Polaris, Vickie is equally as passionate about waving the cloud accounting flag at small businesses who prefer to work smarter and do business better. In fact, determined to banish the idea of traditional, stuffy accounting firms full of boring bean counters, Vickie is often heard chanting her favorite tagline “Bringing Sexy Back to Accounting.” Vickie worked in the banking industry since the invention of the telegraph in various roles—from Teller Supervisor to miracle worker of banking issues—while consistently expanding her knowledge of banking fraud and fraud prevention processes. Now she loves working with small businesses on their tax and accounting challenges and is first in line during late November to demand access to the latest tax updates and potential tax deductions for individuals and small businesses. She’s also furthering her interest in marketing, branding, and social media for Polaris. A true Florida girl, Vickie completed her education in Winter Park, Florida. Vickie loves the outdoors, especially gardening and roaming the grounds of Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC greeting visitors as a long-last heir of the Vanderbilt family.
