Meet Our Awesome Team

Ellen M. Crowell, E.A.

Ellen M. Crowell, E.A.

Founder & CEO

Ellen graduated from Penn State Brandywine campus with her degree in Accounting. After passing a three-part comprehensive IRS test covering individual and business tax returns, she became an enrolled agent, allowing her to represent her clients in certain tax matters. Enrolled agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards. Individuals who obtain this elite status must adhere to ethical standards and complete continuing education credits every three years. This means Ellen stays current on the newest tax law developments and reform.

Since becoming an E.A. her career has focused on Public Accounting for a myriad of clientele in a wide variety of industries. In 2009, Ellen had the opportunity to open her own practice in Kennett Square, so she could work closer to home and serve her community, while she and her husband raised their three daughters. Premier Tax continues to flourish to this day, where they support the businesses and residents of Kennett Square, by relieving them of their tax stress.

Maria D. Torres Aguilera

Accountant

Maria came to Premier Tax as a fresh graduate from Kennett High School in 2020 to do a summer internship. She had been considering going into accounting after high school, and wanted to see if it was the right fit for her. After her internship was over, she decided to join our team full time, gaining as much hands on experience as she could, while completing her undergraduate studies.

Maria earned an Associate Degree in Business Administration from Delaware County Community College in 2022. She continued to further her education at West Chester University, graduating in May 2024 with her Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting. She is currently pursuing her CPA certification and is committed to providing professional and personalized support to every client.

 In February of 2026, she helped Premier Tax open a second location in downtown Kennett Square. Maria is passionate about helping individuals and small businesses achieve their financial goals through reliable tax, accounting, and bookkeeping services. She wants to actively serve the community she has been apart of for the last 22 years, utilizing not only her 5+ years of experience and education, but also her bilingual abilities.

She made the switch to being a full-time employee in 2015 when she left her job working with children on the Autism spectrum as a classroom aide.

Since making that switch, she has interned under Ellen learning the skills necessary to support their clients’ needs. Carolyn’s daily job duties focus on Quickbooks data entry for their clients, both businesses and individuals.
