Your Client's IRS or FTB Tax Debt Is Now Your Problem Too.
It Does Not Have to Be.
I handle the IRS or FTB resolution. You keep the client and the work in your lane.
Your client stays your client. Period. If tax compliance work is needed, we coordinate before anything moves. With the client's written permission, you get an update after the initial review.

Three kinds of professionals. One handoff.
The tax debt shows up in a different place depending on the work you do. Start where you sit.

Triage. Stabilize. Rescue.®
Triage
First we find out how urgent it is. Filing status, balances, notices, and whether enforcement has already started. Nothing gets promised before the facts are on the table.
Stabilize
Next we stop the bleeding. Representation on file, contact with the IRS or FTB handled by us, and the missing filings brought current so the case can be worked.
Rescue
Then we work the resolution the facts support and see it through to a written outcome. No outcome is promised in advance, and not every case qualifies for every program.
Four steps. You keep the client the whole way through.
Spot It
You recognize one of the signals in your lane. That catch is the whole job on your side.
Introduce Us
Hand your client the Hand-Off Packet and send the Referral Intake Form. Two minutes.
Stay Informed
We confirm we received the introduction within one business day. Anything beyond that, we share only with your client's permission.
Keep Your Lane
The return, the matter, the transaction, the financing stay with you. We only take the tax debt.
