My corporate tax experience includes representing the business in an IRS audits, California FTB Audits, Payroll Tax Audits, and employment disputes. With clients throughout the United States and in over 15 countries, I can resolve your business tax matter.
State Tax
My California tax practice includes resolving disputes arising from payroll, employees vs. subcontractors, sales tax and employment tax.
