my 
Story

I remember when I received that diligence audit letter in the mail—it totally freaked me out. Everyone I knew who had been audited ended up with fines, EFIN shut down, and one tax preparer I knew was even in court fighting for her life, so I had every right to feel what I felt.  After doing some digging, I found out that 90% of tax pros get hit with penalties or worse after an audit. I've been in this game for a long time, written books about taxes, tax business, tax software company, and even run a tax school teaching due diligence, so I had a lot on the line.

During that stressful time, I just had to trust my process. You really don’t know if your system is solid until the IRS shows up or you work with someone who gets the ins and outs of the process. That’s why I started the Due Diligence Tax Team. We’re here to help you build, review, or refresh your processes and support you if you ever face an audit.

Below you will find the four packages that we assist you with.  After reviewing each package and you are ready to invest in your tax business, schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit for you.
