Specialties
We are a specialty tax firm that provides tax preparation, taxpayer representation, and comprehensive tax planning services.
We prepare tax returns for individuals and small businesses, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, s-corporations, and c corporations. We also prepare tax returns for trusts and estates.
We represent taxpayers involved with controversy with the IRS or state tax authorities. We stand between you and the IRS or state tax agencies to ensure you are receiving your due process. We will verify any assessment letters and respond on your behalf. We will challenge the assessment and seek a reduction in tax when appropriate and negotiate payment plans or settlement offers for less than the full amount owed. We use proven strategies to stop wage garnishment, tax lens, and levies.
We provide issue-specific and comprehensive tax planning to individuals and small-business owners to ensure they are eligible to benefit from tax deductions, credits, and loopholes. We provide written tax plans that reference the tax code, court cases, and pitfalls. Our clients generally see a 300% return on their tax planning investment in the first year.
We also offer annual maintenance plans to help maintain tax strategies and proper planning throughout the year.

We strive to provide competence, availability, and accountability to our clients.
