Overview

Tax risk, made manageable

Tax problems rarely improve on their own. Whether you're facing an audit, carrying unpaid liabilities, or planning a transaction that needs to be efficient, we cut through the code to the practical answer — what you owe, what you can challenge, and the cleanest way forward.

Planning work and defined filings are quoted as fixed fees. For audits and disputes we set a clear scope and budget up front, and deal directly with the IRS or the California FTB so you don't have to.

What we handle

Typical matters include:

IRS and California FTB audits and examinations
Tax debt resolution, offers in compromise and instalment plans
Penalty abatement and voluntary disclosures
Business, transaction and estate tax planning
Tax controversy, appeals and Tax Court representation

How We Help

Before, during and after

Planning that avoids problems — and a firm hand when the authorities call.

Planning & Structuring

Entity choice, transactions and estates structured to be tax-efficient from the outset, not patched afterwards.

Audits & Disputes

We manage IRS and FTB audits end to end, respond to notices, and negotiate the outcome — keeping you inside every deadline.

Debt & Relief

Offers in compromise, instalment agreements and penalty abatement to bring an overwhelming liability back under control.

FAQ

Good to know

I've received an IRS audit notice — what now?

Don't respond alone. We review the notice, deal with the IRS or FTB on your behalf, and keep you inside the deadlines so the audit stays contained.

Can you reduce tax penalties I already owe?

Often, yes. Depending on the facts we pursue penalty abatement, offers in compromise or instalment arrangements to bring the liability down to something workable.

Do you do proactive tax planning?

Yes. We structure transactions, entities and estates to be tax-efficient before the fact — far cheaper than fixing a problem after a return is filed.
