ACCOUNTING
Tax Controversy

Receiving a notice from the IRS or the California Franchise Tax Board is unsettling. Most clients do not know what the notice means, what their rights are, or how to respond without making the situation more complicated. We do.
​
Our approach is strategic from the first notice. We review the authority's position, assess the exposure, organize the file, and design a response that protects your interests. Where legal representation is required, we coordinate with or refer to tax counsel with the appropriate admission.
