Friend,

“Closers” have run their numbers, and they know that certain IRS problems can net them big fees. Sure, they’ll quote you a smaller fee during the so-called “financial analysis” in the beginning stages of the process – but they also know that there are lots of different ways that they can tack on additional fees during the process so that, no matter what, they’ll get paid.

My team and I would like to invite you into a different kind of process.

Mind you – we are BULLDOGS when it comes to negotiating on behalf of our clients in front of the IRS. We have plenty of stories to prove it.

We want to fight for you – and you will never have to speak with the IRS yourself.

Click on the button below to take your first step. Feel free to poke around our site and discover why I’ve been called “The Most Trusted Tax Professional in Sarasota.”

PS — If you are discussing your tax situation over the telephone with other firms, be sure to ask them one important question:

“Are you a licensed tax professional that is legally eligible to offer me tax advice, or are you a salesman?”

This is by far the single most important question you should ask anybody trying to offer you tax advice. If they are a salesperson, I highly encourage you to run quickly in the opposite direction.

PPS – Already ready to come in?

I don’t blame you…many folks are fed up with the other options out there. Our schedule is very full…but if you call us at (941) 893-1791 or Email Us, we’ll give you two options for coming in right away! We will NOT make dealing with a tax professional as painful as it’s been in the past!

Maurie has taken care of my taxes for the last few years and he's so easy to work with. I feel confident that my taxes are getting done quickly and with a high degree of accuracy. I highly recommend this business!

Kate Noel

I have been petrified of dealing with IRS for way too long. I chose to work with Maurie at WesTax based on his Google reviews, and I was so impressed. Maurie is kind, understanding, and supportive. He is tackling my issues head-on and working diligently to straighten things out. I felt like a gigantic weight lifted off my shoulders since my first meeting with Maurie. He is extremely industrious and has a high level of expertise. I would recommend Wes Tax to anyone looking to have a competent and trustworthy CPA on your side.
