Shelley H. Morales

Founder & Owner

Accountant & Professional Service Assistant

Since 2003, I have been assisting clients

with the filing of individual and small business

tax returns. From small businesses to corporations, I have experience in

handling a wide range of tax matters. 

I hold a Master of Science in Accountancy (MSA) and I am proud to be a member of the Professional Association of Small

Business Accountants (PASBA) & the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP). I also hold an AFSP Record of Completion every year with the IRS as a trained tax preparer.

I am committed to staying up-to-date with the latest industry news and regulations by regularly renewing my knowledge through print,

online training, and seminars.

Personal Life & Experience

I am married with two daughters and two grandchildren. I live and work in Alachua, Florida and enjoy canning, gardening, and attending skills conferences that teach

all the things I wish I’d learned from my grannies. 

I enjoy spending time with my family and

traveling in my RV with my husband & our small dog.

I have had the privilege of working with both

NASCAR and NHRA in the past.

These experiences taught me the importance

of qualities like patience, kindness, and honesty

regardless of someone's wealth or fame. 

I bring my outgoing personality and diverse industry knowledge to provide you with a business experience

that I am sure you will love. Additionally, as my business is completely remote, there are no stuffy offices to visit,

(unless you want to ... We opened an office in 2025)!

I am enthusiastic about the possibility of working with you and I invite you to give me a call today.

I look forward to meeting you

and discussing how I can assist your business.

I founded Morales Services, Inc. DBA Hometown Accountant in 2018 to give people a more personal business accounting experience. We are not a big box tax corporation, nor are our accounting clients numbers in a graph. We personalize your accounting experience to what you actually need and care about. This includes industry standards but also personal goals, and is what sets us apart from brick and mortar firms. We work remotely to bring you the best service efficiently and accurately.  Let me introduce you to the VIP team you will be working with at Hometown Accountant.
