Generally speaking, in my opinion, the IRS is an institution that, more often than not, is fair to the taxpayers.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ……. the operating word is “Service”.  The IRS can be a nightmare, but it may also be very helpful in certain circumstances.  Sure there are times when an agent can get unreasonable, overly aggressive, or just outright mean, but overall they can be helpful.  With that stated, it is always a good idea to protect yourself with proper representation.  There may be matters that can be misconstrued, misrepresented or even misinterpreted, so you need to have people represent you.  We can do that for you.  You must be careful when discussing your taxes with the IRS on many levels.  Tax matters consist of the current year under examination, AND tax treatment of certain items in the past and future.

We have the team that has the experience to assist your company.  With over 50 years of accounting experience, including working as a controller and/or a Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
