I use Carl Hanton at Premiere Tax and Accounting to handle all of my tax controversy work. As an…read moreoverworked small business owner, I don't have the time, nor the expertise, to keep up to date with tax strategies and negotiation tips with the IRS. In fact, what happens, is that life will get in the way and I'll lapse and get behind on a form or something. That's the lesson many of us learn when we decide not to hire a professional from the beginning and have to make the call after we've already made a mistake. So, with that lesson learned, and my carefully curated cadre of professional consultants identified, Carl's professionalism and experience are what I rely on when I need tax and financial guidance and counsel, particularly in confronting tax bills. It's great because Carl speaks to me in a language I can understand: IE - not like an accountant. No offense to accountants! He also stays in communication with you, keeping you accountable for what you have to get done on your own. Really just a great partner to have in your personal and business tax needs. I unhesitatingly recommend Carl and Premiere Tax and Accounting.
