How to Start
Not every tax situation requires formal representation.
The first step is a brief eligibility check so we can determine whether a full review is appropriate.
START THE ELIGIBILITY CHECK
New York Tax Problems Require a Structured Resolution Process
We help NYC restaurant, retail, and service business owners shut down New York sales-tax enforcement, remove tax warrants, and protect their personal assets—before the state shuts the business down.
Specialized Help for:
- Audits
- Collections
- Sales Tax
- Enforcement Matters
- Payroll Tax
- Liens
- Levies
A Different Kind of Tax Resolution Practice
Most people don’t come to us because they need a routine tax return.
They come because they are facing real IRS, New York State, or New York City pressure, such as:
Back taxes
Multi-year unfiled returns
NYS enforcement letters
Liens, levies, or garnishments
Sales tax or payroll tax issues
Tax debt they can’t afford to pay,
A stressful IRS or NYS audit
What they want most is:
A Plan
Clarity
Relief
A professional who understands how tax authorities actually operate
That’s what we deliver.

Our Triple S Resolution Framework
STUDY
We review notices, transcripts, audit scope, and enforcement risk to understand exactly where you stand.
SATISFY
When required, we address compliance issues, filings, withholding problems, and documentation so the case is properly positioned.
SOLVE
Only then do we pursue the appropriate resolution strategy — audit defense, negotiations, payment arrangements, or settlement options — based on facts, not assumptions. This process applies to audits, examinations, collections, sales tax issues, and payroll tax matters.
