About Us
Lillian Turner-Bowman
Tax Practitioner
In 1980, at the age of 22, Lillian Bowman started her part-time seasonal home-based business preparing income taxes for family and friends, while securing several positions in corporate America. In 1982, she worked as a GS-5 Secretary for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 1986 worked as a Cost Accountant for Ecofa, Inc. and in 1990 as Assistant Secretary to Heisman Athletic Director, Downtown Athletic Club.
Although these jobs helped pay the bills, and prepare Lillian with more knowledge and skills, Lillian knew that the growth of her own business would bring more security for the family. Encouraged by her mom, dad, husband, children and family members, thus she pursued her dream to make it a reality.
Lillian’s Professional Services is committed to excellence and providing the highest quality of professionalism, while striving to satisfy the needs of each individual.
Lillian’s Professional Services was started out of in a 2 bedroom apartment, while raising four young children and multi-tasking business, work, evening school and home chores. Lillian transformed and utilized her dinning room as an office space with a desk, one computer and a file cabinet. Professional Services’ client base started out primarily with family, friends and neighbors, but rapidly grew from word of mouth to many referrals. It was evident after a few years it was time to expand.
In 1992, Lillian was able to move Professional Services from the apartment to commercial space in the neighborhood right on Fulton Street, enabling her to serve more of the community at large. With the respect of the community, Professional Services’ was a welcomed addition to the area businesses. Her expertise and experience includes, but are not limited to, individual and small business income tax preparation, with special emphasis on home-based business deductions, meeting deadlines and working under pressure, IRS and New York State Representations notary public/notary signing agent, business & legal form-fill consultations, various clerical operations, marketing and business building.
Over the years, Lillian’s has developed a staff of other business minded individuals demanding integrity and moral ethics, she has recruited and trained youths from SYEP as well as adults right from her own community.
Summer youth programs
Lillian’s goal has always been to be a support mechanism in the community, not only in the lives of the adults she assist with their taxes, but also in the lives of the youth. In an effort to show that support, and always find ways to give back. Professional Services continues to participate in employing youths from many programs and young adults from career school and colleges.

Let Us Help:
Dear Friend,
I hope you’ll forgive me for being blunt.
I am Lillian Turner-Bowman, I’m a tax practitioner and realize that you may not be used to seeing a tax professional talk like this. It’s not my intention to offend (I’m actually being very careful with my words–I am a tax professional, after all).
But I think you’ll agree that the times we’re currently facing require a little straight talk.
Here’s a certain truth: the State and Federal Government would love to have more of your hard-earned money in their accounts. Sure, even though it’s painful, none of us begrudge paying our legal and fair share of taxes. But the problem is that regular taxpayers, like you, are missing out on legal and safe deductions, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in unclaimed refunds every year!
As a tax professional, it truly breaks my heart, knowing that just a few thousand, or even a few hundred bucks for us “regular guys” out of that vast pool of overcharging could make a world of difference–and they are just sitting there, unclaimed! And with the economy we’re facing now…it’s essential that the “right” professional handles your taxes and other financial matters.
You see, all tax professionals are not the same. From the “discount” chains (notice the quotes) to classic accounting firms, most fly through tax season in a disorganized mess–bleary-eyed and hopped-up on caffeine. It’s no wonder that they treat you like a number and lapse into excuses and tax-talk. (I told you that I would be blunt.)

PS — When you fill out the form, we’ll also add you to our weekly email series on “Real World” Strategy (for individuals). Our readers enthusiastically forward these to their friends and peers all the time, and they’re not your standard “tax tips”.
PPS–Already ready to come in?
I don’t blame you…many folks are fed up with the other options out there. Our schedule is very full…but if you call us at 718-953-6455 or Email Us, we’ll give you two options for coming in right away! We will NOT make dealing with a tax professional as painful as it’s been in the past!
