An IRS letter. Payroll taxes that fell behind. A few years of returns that never got filed. Whatever is causing the stress, we sort out what's urgent, get to work right away, and help you find a way through it.
The hardest part is usually the first call. Letters get set aside, deadlines pass, and penalties and interest keep growing in the meantime. Good owners end up here all the time, usually because something changed: a bookkeeper left, the company grew faster than its systems, or cash got tight for a season.
What matters now is acting before the IRS takes the next step. Once we know what you're dealing with, you'll know what's urgent, what can wait, and what your options are.
Dealing with a Texas Comptroller or other state tax notice? We help with those too.

Not sure which letter you have? The notice number is usually in the top or bottom right corner. Read it to us over the phone, and we'll tell you how urgent it is.
When a tax problem shows up, most owners think they have two choices: hire an expensive tax attorney or call a company from a late-night ad. Sometimes, the middle ground makes the most sense.

We came out of a boutique tax law firm, so we know how these cases work. If something needs an attorney, we'll tell you.
The waiting and wondering stop on day one, because you’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why. Here’s how it works:
01Talk it through.A free, confidential consultation. Tell us what happened, and send us any letters you've received. We'll tell you what's urgent and whether we can help you save money.
02Get the full picture.With your permission, we review your IRS records to see exactly what the IRS sees: what's filed, what's owed, and what's coming next.
03Fix the problem.Missing returns are filed, notices are answered, and payment options are set up. You'll know what's happening at every step.
04Make sure it doesn't happen again.We fix the books and systems that caused the problem, then keep an expert's eyes on your numbers all year.
Most tax problems aren't really tax problems. They start with books that fell behind, payroll that was set up wrong, or software that stopped talking to the rest of your systems. If we only treat the symptom, it comes back.
So once the immediate problem is handled, we look at what caused it. We clean up the books, fix how your data moves, and plan ahead so next year's taxes are routine instead of a surprise.
We've helped Austin owners sort out tax problems since 2005. After a free consultation, Eric is glad to meet in person anywhere in the Greater Austin area and walk through your letters together, which many clients prefer when the stakes feel high. If you're outside the Austin area, the same help happens by phone and video, starting the same day.
In most cases, yes. The IRS would rather collect through a payment plan than chase you. What it doesn't tolerate is silence. Responding on time, with the right paperwork, is usually what opens the door.
The first conversation is free and confidential. Tell us what happened, and we'll tell you exactly where you stand and what to do first.
