About Us
Robert D. (Bob) Pavicic
Although Bob was born in Long Beach, California, he was raised in various places in California and Ohio. After high school in Riverside, California, he went to university, but the Vietnam conflict interfered. He served in the United States Army in Germany. He returned to California and was employed as an Air Traffic Controller with the Federal Aviation Administration.
During his time in the FAA, he was also employed part time starting in 1982 as a tax preparer. In 1988 he passed the arduous exams to become an Enrolled Agent which permits him to not only prepare tax returns, but also to represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service. About this same time, he left his part time tax employment and started his own firm, Pavicic Tax Service. He kept this firm small, never having more than one hundred clients since he was still with the FAA as an Air Traffic Control Specialist (providing, among other services, current and forecast weather information to pilots) but he does have clients in several states across the United States.
Always keeping busy, he graduated from California State University at San Bernardino with a BS in Administration with an emphasis in Accounting. Then he graduated from Western State University College of Law with a JD. But, he decided against becoming a lawyer.
In 2007, Bob moved to Prescott Valley due to the take over by Lockheed Martin of the FAA’s Flight Service option and its move of the facility to Arizona.
In 2018, the facility in Prescott Valley closed and Bob did not want to retire so he contacted Hal Fischer about joining Easy Tax Service. Hal hired Bob in January 2019, and, because he knew a good company when he saw it, Bob purchased half of Easy Tax Service in January 2020.
In September 2021, he received the designation of Certified Tax Representation Consultant (CTRC) from the Tax Representation Network. In December 2021, he received the designation of National Tax Practitioner Institute Fellow (NTPIF).

DEBI SLAY
Born and raised in the picturesque town of Prescott, Arizona, I have been fortunate to call this charming community my home throughout my life. With over two decades of experience as a Chiropractic Assistant, my journey in the healthcare field has allowed me to contribute to the well-being of others.
Transitioning into the education sector, I took on the role of Cafeteria Manager at Abia Judd Elementary School. It was during this time that I was honored with the “Going the Extra Mile” award, a recognition bestowed upon me by the students, teachers, and staff for my dedication and commitment.
Currently, I serve as the Office Manager at Easy Tax Service, finding immense joy and fulfillment in my responsibilities. The shift to the financial domain has been a rewarding experience, and I am thoroughly enjoying my role.
Beyond the professional realm, my heart finds solace in the great outdoors, where I take pleasure in working in my yard, appreciating the beauty of God’s creation. As a proud aunt to four nieces and five nephews, my family holds a special place in my heart, and I cherish the bonds we share.
Life’s journey has led me through various roles, each contributing to the person I am today. From my roots in Prescott to my current position in the financial world, every experience has shaped my path. Embracing the warmth of community, the joy of work, and the beauty of nature, I find fulfillment in the simple pleasures of life.
