Who We Are

Welcome!  Manada Tax Service was founded in 2013 by Amanda Taraborelli, CPA in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  Our mission is to provide high quality tax and accounting services at an affordable rate.  Our Federal, State, and Local tax return packages for individuals start as low as $300.

Not all tax preparers are created equal.  Certified Public Accountants are licensed at the state level and are held to a higher standard than the average tax preparer.  Amanda Taraborelli earned an accounting degree, passed a 12 hour certification exam and received two years of supervised experience in order to become a CPA.  She is required to complete 80 credit hours of continuing education every two years to maintain her license.

We guarantee our work!  We will pay all interest and penalties resulting from a preparer error.  It’s a very rare occurrence, but we’re still human!  You deserve a professional that stands by their work!

Our Team

Let our team of professionals give you peace of mind.

Amanda is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Elizabethtown College and Certified Public Accountant. After growing up on a horse farm in Dauphin County, Amanda moved to Lancaster to start her accounting career.  She has held various financial roles at the corporate headquarters of Armstrong World Industries, but she has devoted her efforts full-time to Manada Tax Service since 2015.  Amanda lives in Mountville PA with her husband, Peter, and daughter, Elena.  You may see her on the weekends at LCBC Manheim.

Cody was born, raised, and lives in Happy Valley, Oregon. He studied accounting at Oregon State University, then became an Enrolled Agent and Licensed Tax Consultant.  He has been a Tax Preparer since 2013, but grew up in-and-around the tax office that his mother bought from his grandfather, working together with his grandmother, sisters, and brother, over the years.  When he’s not at his desk, he is usually outdoors, with his family, or both.

Cody has been helping Manada Tax Service remotely from the West Coast since 2021.
