Current status
I'm Gregory T. Sechler, a CPA and Enrolled Agent in Salt Lake City. I take your IRS or state tax matter from the first call to the last, and I do the work myself. No call center, no handoffs, no retainer billing away while your case sits.
The single thread that carries a story from beginning to end and keeps every part connected.
Your case is the story. I'm the throughline: one person carrying it from the first notice to the final resolution, so nothing gets dropped in a handoff.
Most people who call me have already hired someone else. This is what they describe.
You've told your story to five different people.
Every handoff starts the file over. The only thing that carries forward is the balance.
You paid thousands and nothing has moved.
The retainer cleared in a week. Your transcripts were never pulled.
You can't reach the same person twice.
The number goes to whoever answers, and they have never opened your file.
No one will tell you the actual plan.
You get reassurance instead of a strategy, and an invoice either way.
A tax-resolution company may sound reassuring on the first call. Before you sign, find out who will actually touch the file, what the fee buys, and whether the strategy will ever be put in writing.

What is included in the fee, and what could cost more?
Who owns the case until it is actually closed?
I open the file, I do the work, and I close it. The case stays on my desk.
You see the number in writing before you commit to anything.
Your plan comes from your IRS transcripts, and it explains what I intend to do and why.
You call me and I answer. If I miss you, I call you back.
Tax resolution is stressful enough without wondering what your own representative is doing.
Your portal shows the current stage, open requests, documents, and deadlines.
The strategy is written down in plain language, with the reason behind it.
The fee is quoted before the work begins, not discovered one invoice at a time.
Individuals and businesses, federal and state.
Liens and levies, offer in compromise, installment agreements, currently not collectible status, penalty abatement, unfiled returns, and audit representation.

See business servicesAs a CPA and Enrolled Agent I can represent you before the IRS on almost every collection and resolution matter. Three things need an attorney. If yours is one of them, I'll say so on the first call and introduce you to someone who handles them well.
A docketed case headed to court belongs with a tax attorney.
Anything with fraud or criminal risk goes to a defense attorney, protected by privilege.
When bankruptcy is the right tool for the debt, you'll want a bankruptcy attorney.
The case review takes 30 minutes and costs nothing. You'll know where you stand by the end of it.
