Owner: Michele Cooke-Ingegno Attention to detail, fast turnaround

Michele Cooke-Ingegno, owner of Personal Accounting Services, has been preparing income tax returns for more than 20 years, having trained at a CPA firm on Long Island, New York. She also has a certification from H&R Block and has served as an accounting manager at a number of companies over the years.

Cooke-Ingegno says some of the things that make her business unique are her personal attention to detail when preparing tax returns, and fast turnaround.

Of her business philosophy, she said, “I prepare your return with the same attention to detail that I would give my own tax return.” On a personal note: Cooke-Ingegno and her family relocated from Long Island, New York, to Summerfield about a year ago. She and her husband have been married for 19 years and have a 16-year-old son. Her mother also relocated and lives with the family.

Cooke-Ingegno currently serves as treasurer of the Water’s Edge at Summerfield HOA.

In her spare time, she enjoys being with family, traveling, trail walking and deer watching, and “especially visiting Joey the donkey” at a nearby farm. She said she also loves cooking and baking for her family and friends.
