IRS & State Audit Representation

Don’t Fight the IRS Alone

Let's face it, getting audited by the IRS or state is a scary proposition. In the same way you wouldn't represent yourself in court, why would you try to represent yourself in an audit? Our Dark Horse CPAs know how and what to communicate to IRS and state auditors to ensure you're putting your best foot forward. There's a strategy and negotiations involved during an audit that you don't want to try on your own or else you're going to get steamrolled.

We'll put your mind at ease by stepping in and dealing directly with the auditor on your behalf. We have former IRS agents on staff that have deep knowledge of how the IRS works and how best to deal with them. While an audit is a scary event in anyone's life, we've represented many clients and, often times, the fear ends up being a lot worse than the reality we're able to help them achieve.

I was referred to Max by a friend who is also a small business owner. I was definitely in need of direction when it came to my finances. After speaking with Max I was able to understand how I can be efficient in the accounting side of my business and he and his team is there to guide me every step of the way. I'm now confident I have the right team watching my books I highly recommend Max and Dark Horse CPAs

I had the pleasure of working with Stella and she was absolutely incredible. I had received what I suspected was bad advice from a previous tax preparer, and I was looking for another professional opinion on a specific tax situation. I found Dark Horse and Stella and I couldn't be happier. Stella confirmed what I had suspected about the previous tax situation being handled incorrectly by my former preparer at a different firm, and helped me fix the problem. Stella was prompt, exceedingly professional, and actually took the time to explain everything. Prices for services are fair. I am thrilled to have found a knowledgeable, trustworthy tax advisor and I look forward to continue working with Stella in the future.

Megan, Kim and staff were very prompt filing our business and personal taxes. The secure email site to upload our documents was very user friendly. The staff was also extremely prompt answering our questions through email and on the phone. In addition, Megan met with us personally a couple of times several months in advance to map out a plan for our business and personal taxes. Thank you all!

We signed on with Adam's accounting group after bouncing around trying to find the right 'fit' with other companies. I knew immediately that we found what we needed when Adam took the time to sit down and talk to me about my business, my plans, my goals and where I wanted my company to be in the next 2, 5, 10 years. Adam and his team are responsive - and by that, I mean proactive - which is probably the single best reason to use Dark Horse. After 8 years and 3 different accounting firms we found what we need with Dark Horse.
