Interview Q&A
What is your primary product or service?
Legal Services:
Our office offers consultation on legal and tax issues surrounding business structures and transactions, real estate transfers, and estate planning.
Tax Services:
We ensure all opportunities for tax savings are maximized through effective and practical planning strategies and audit defense.
Planning:
There certainly is truth behind the cliché, “The best defense is a good offense.” The most effective way to minimize you or your company’s tax burden is planning. Whether your company foresees a major transaction, a business expansion, or simply intends to continue its operations, a minimal consultation expense today to ensure your company is tax compliant and efficient can save millions in the future. Make no mistake, business is a tax minefield and blind faith in your accountant or bookkeeper often leads to devastating consequences. You need a trained professional to guide you and your business regarding income taxes, franchise taxes, employment taxes, property taxes, estate taxes, sales & use taxes, and unclaimed property. Our tax planning clients range from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. Tax planning techniques employed by our firm ensure your company is tax efficient in both its operation and structure.
Audit Defense:
The government knows accountants cannot bring your tax matter to court to enforce your rights. Conversely, the government knows a tax attorney’s threat of litigation is not hollow and, hence, knows its audit is not the final word. To guard your interests you need an attorney, and the sooner you bring the attorney into your tax conflict the better. Our tax conflict clients range from individuals to Fortune 500 companies. Our results speak for themselves with many taxpayers being required to pay no additional taxes and sometimes even receiving refunds.
Areas of Expertise:
Our firm resources allow us to effectively represent you regarding nearly every tax area, including: Income Taxes, Franchise Taxes, Employment Taxes, Sales and Use Taxes, Admissions and Amusement Taxes, and Excise Taxes. Further, our expertise extends to more specialized areas, such as: conservation easements, tax fraud and tax evasion, innocent spouse relief, trust fund penalties, fraud and failure to file penalties, employee/independent contractor classifications, collections, offer-in-compromise, and installment agreements.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Proactive Legal and Tax Strategies:
We believe you should know your potential legal and tax exposure, know how to address those issues, and know how to react. This forward-looking stance allows us to review your financial, legal, and business situation and advise you accordingly. For business tax issues, this allows us to advise you regarding the expected tax ramifications and benefits of exploring new products, services, or markets. Through our studies of tax jurisdictions and our knowledge of your business, we can direct you toward the tax incentive programs and less burdensome tax markets. Further, if you already have operations in multiple states, we can determine where you do or do not have sales tax, use tax, franchise tax, employment tax, or income tax obligations through a personalized nexus study. If we determine you have a filing obligation in a state, we minimize your tax obligations by negotiating settlements or through utilizing any available voluntary compliance or voluntary disclosure program.
In Summary:
Utilizing our firm’s tax expertise, we legally minimize your tax burdens, provide your business with competitive cost advantages, and ensure you and your business’s employees, officers, directors, and owners have minimum exposure to tax liabilities and penalties.
