The Process

Triage. Stabilize. Rescue.®

Phase 1

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.

Phase 2

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.

Phase 3

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.

The Protected Referral Protocol

Four steps. You keep the client the whole way through.

01

Spot It

You recognize one of the signals in your lane. That catch is the whole job on your side.

02

Introduce Us

Hand your client the Hand-Off Packet and send the Referral Intake Form. Two minutes.

03

Stay Informed

We confirm we received the introduction within one business day. Anything beyond that, we share only with your client's permission.

04

Keep Your Lane

The return, the matter, the transaction, the financing stay with you. We only take the tax debt.
