We control the narrative, restrict the auditor's access to only what is legally required, and ruthlessly defend every deduction on your return.

Absolutely NOT. Anything you say can and will be used to expand the audit to prior years or secondary business entities. Retain our counsel immediately.
Extremely rarely, but if an auditor suspects deliberate evasion rather than just negligence, they can refer it to CID (Criminal Investigation). This is exactly why professional representation is critical.
Audit defense is priced as a fixed engagement fee based on audit scope and complexity, not hourly. Most correspondence and desk audits fall in a predictable range, and you know the full fee before we begin. No surprise invoices, ever.
Yes, and it is critical that you stop talking and call us immediately. We file Power of Attorney, take over all communication, and move the audit into written correspondence format within days. Every hour of unrepresented contact expands audit scope.
Correspondence audits typically resolve in 60 to 90 days. Field audits average 6 to 9 months. Appeals and Tax Court processes extend further. We compress every stage by responding precisely, never volunteering information, and forcing the auditor to stay inside their original scope.
