At T.C. Tax Law and CPA, I offer high quality services that both large law firms and large CPA firms provide. The difference is that some larger firms employ people whose focus is searching for their next billable hour. By contrast, I focus on you and the tax problem or tax opportunity at hand. I run a lean team and tap resources only when necessary. Nor do you pay for big, plush offices or overhead whose costs other firms build into their hourly billing rates. Where appropriate, I prefer to undertake jobs at fixed, pre-agreed fees rather than at hourly charges. That provides me an incentive to be as efficient as possible, and my clients appreciate knowing in advance what a matter is expected to cost. I go the extra mile to take care to provide clients high quality services personalized for their unique needs. I provide a variety of services including:
I vigilantly monitor and communicate changes in tax laws and regulations that affect clients' tax compliance. This may require, for example, increased data collection or documentation, more disclosure of information in tax returns, or simply changes in tax deductions, credits, or benefits. I study how these changes affect clients' taxes and other aspects of the clients' lives or business operations. Sometimes these tax changes affect how a company may do business, and I work with the client to arrive at cost-effective solutions. Sometimes I need to seek interpretation from taxing authorities or to work with them to obtain relief from a particular provision. T.C. Tax Law and CPA also is able to assist with tax return preparation for clients and do research on tax issues.
Tax audits are facts of life that nearly every business faces at some time. I have had extensive experience in defending audits and optimizing outcomes for businesses. I know how the game is played and what you need to do to protect your interests. A good part of our success together involves favorable settlements without litigation, much less courtroom trials. I and my team saved over $150 million of taxes in one negotiation alone. If settlement is not successful, however, a trial is sometimes needed to obtain satisfactory relief. I have helped spearhead wins of tax cases on both the trial and appellate court levels.
If you have any question about your ability to receive effective, efficient, and outstanding tax services, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Tax laws and regulations are constantly changing. Some changes present problems, others present opportunities. At T.C. Tax Law and CPA, I keep abreast of the various changes through a rigorous and disciplined plan of continuing education and an outside network of tax professionals. My approach to a problem or opportunity is to gather the facts, analyze the facts and law/regulations, provide a recommendation, help implement the recommendation if the client desires, and then monitor for any changes in the client's circumstances or in the law/reguations. Some tax planning opportunities arise as a result of tax "assymetries" -- taxing jurisdictions having different laws/regulations or different types of business entities being taxed differently. I have helped save millions of dollars from tax planning ideas and projects.
