About
Amber L Deiterich, EA, MST
Owner
Amber always knew she wanted to own her own business, and after spending more than a decade in public accounting, she made that dream a reality by starting The Modern Tax Firm.
She began her career in 2015 as a tax associate and worked her way up to tax manager, gaining valuable experience and a passion for helping individuals and business owners navigate their taxes with confidence.
For Amber, one of the best parts of her job is getting to know her clients and building relationships that go beyond tax season. She believes that working with a tax professional should feel approachable and personal, and she strives to be someone her clients can trust and feel comfortable turning to with questions.
When she's not working, you can usually find Amber trying a new restaurant, browsing a local farmers market, baking something sweet, or catching up on a good TV show. She also enjoys reading, painting, and spending time with family and friends. She lives in Lancaster, PA, with her husband, Brent, and their two cats.
