Fix the problem. Fix the cause. Get ahead.

That’s the client-for-life cycle. Every client on your books needs more than the case you sold. Move them from resolution to compliance to planning, and each step is another service sold and another reason they stay with your firm. Most firms stop at the first step. We cover all three, plus custom work for cases that don’t fit a package.

Resolve

Fix the problem.

Stop the pressure and settle the debt. 28 services.

Comply

Fix the cause.

Get current and stay current. 15 services.

Plus 3 custom services, reviewed and bid in writing, for unusual cases. 94 services in all.

The service nobody sold is often the one holding the case up. No books means no P&L. No P&L means no accurate Schedule C or 1120-S. No returns means no payment plan or settlement. We rebuild the books, the returns get filed, and the case moves again.

How it works for you

Three ways to work with us

Every engagement starts with a warm handoff from a firm the client already trusts. We don’t chase cold leads. We put our energy into the work, and we never compete with you for clients.

Next Step services

Keep doing what your firm does today and add the compliance, planning, and specialty work you’d otherwise turn away. Our sales team sells it on your behalf, or your team sells it with our training.

Hand us the full casework

Your firm sells and owns the client relationship. Our professionals do the casework across the full menu, core resolution included, from the first transcript pull to the final IRS agreement.

Refer a client

Introduce a client with a warm handoff. The client engages us directly for that work, under a referral agreement that fits how your firm works, and stays your client for everything else.

See how each partnership works

A sales team you can put your name on.

Whoever sells under your firm’s name carries your reputation. Matt and Scott both believe training and knowledge are the job, not a week of onboarding. Our sales team sells on your behalf. We can also train your reps to sell, and train your front-line staff to spot a need and set up a 21 Century review.

  • Ethical

    Every presentation follows IRS Circular 230. No guaranteed outcomes, and every fee is flat and scoped in writing. We sell the fix, not the fear. The IRS has the fear covered.

  • Experienced

    Led by a sales veteran of high-end tax resolution and backed by a founder who has personally resolved more than $40 million in IRS tax debt.

  • Trained

    Reps learn each service before they sell it: what it does, who it fits, the disclosure it requires, and honest answers to the hard questions.

  • Current

    Training is updated as IRS procedures and tax law change, so what your clients hear is accurate this year.
