Ish Dalal, MS, EA
Parts 2 & 3

While Ish’s roots are in Computer Science/EE, his true calling emerged after he delved deep into complex international tax issues. At the end, he thought, why not make his love of taxation official?

But it was January 2018, and major changes to the EA exam were imminent. With his family’s support, Ish prepared for and passed all three EA exams (with all ‘3’s) in February 2018.

With newfound exuberance, Ish immediately hurtled into TaxMama’s Free Forum, answering questions guerilla-style — and annoying Eva (TaxMama)! That’s how they became acquainted. Eva quickly thought it best to co-opt Ish’s enthusiasm into something more productive–and they began collaborating to improve the EA course.

In a previous life, Ish detoured into academia, serving as an adjunct professor and hoping to join its ranks. Eva always wanted him to teach for the EA course since they first met…and now he is!

Ish lives in Northern California and maintains a small boutique tax practice.
