Advised on Tax Case | Dec 27, 2023
Tom is one of the most knowledgeable tax preparers I've ever had the privilege of working with. We have consulted on many cases, and his insight, attention to detail and the ability to see the multiple facets of each potential strategy continue to impress me.

Worked on Case Together | Dec 26, 2023
Having known Tom since 2005 and consulted him for advice in the past, I reached out to him in 2021 to partner with me on an IRS full-blown audit that wound up in appeals. I knew exactly what the problems were with the return that I inherited, what the corrections should be as well as the client's true tax exposure but had never been through the appeals process before.

I turned over all of my findings to Tom and he took it from there to communicate with the various IRS agents assigned to the case. He stayed on top of it and kept me as well as the client in the loop with excellent communication. He is patient, kind, direct, and sees things through to the end. As a result, the client had a 70% reduction in their taxes due and successful resolution without having to go through the time and expense of Tax Court.

Tom is my go-to for these sorts of resolution cases - he is reliable, dependable and knowledgeable.
