We help taxpayers prepare settlement offers and negotiate income tax, payroll tax, and sales tax debt. We've seen many taxpayers just like you, who for one reason or another, get behind with IRS or state taxes. Getting rid of that tax problem allows you to can get on with your life. Have you been receiving notices and shoving them in a drawer or maybe a shoe box?
Getting them out of site may seem like a great idea, but that only makes your problem worse. At the IRS the clock is ticking. The sooner you take care of the problem, the sooner the penalties and interest stop piling up.

Services
Randy J. Elder has a process for onboarding clients. We charge for the initial consultation. As part of the consultation we pull your IRS transcripts and analyze your account. We also read all of your notices and discuss your current financial situation. By doing this we can determine the best strategy for your situation.
It can happen by accident. You may not have withheld enough from your paycheck in the past year and wind up with a whopper of a tax bill in April. It could be you came into some money, spent it, and didn't realize that a big chunk of it was owed to the IRS in taxes. If your debt has been piling up for a while, it can be overwhelming and extremely stressful.
Have you received an audit letter or notice from a tax agency and don't know what to do next? The response you need to provide might be simple, or it might be very complex. We can help you interpret what the IRS is asking for so you can respond to the letter appropriately and put this behind you. If it's a discrepancy letter or balance due, the response can be fairly simple to craft and send. It's always a good idea to get a tax professional to review or develop any response you need to send to the IRS.
Sometimes life just gets in the way. You feel too busy or have experienced a divorce, illness, job loss, or death in your family that sidetracked you from filing your tax return on time. Or you could just be overwhelmed with the whole process of filing your taxes. Perhaps you don't have the money to pay your taxes and you have several years of unfiled tax returns to file (this is NOT a good idea). You may also have a special situation with your spouse if they promised to file and didn't or they don't file correctly or they don't pay.

Randy has been doing our personal taxes for over 10 years, and as my business has grown and become more complex, I realized I needed an accountant specializing in small to medium businesses to handle monthly accounting and tax planning. Randy's expertise helping us structure the business to save thousands in taxes has been invaluable. Best of all, more of my time has been freed up so I can focus on my clients and the continued growth of our business.

Randy Elder has been doing my taxes for eight years and he is fantastic, simply everything you'd want in a tax professional. He is on time, accurate, pleasant to communicate with, honest and has total discretion with the handling of personal information. And SMART! There are lots of businesses we all deal with every day where it doesn't really matter much the level of professionalism and integrity, but your taxes is not one of them! When you're handing over sensitive personal financial information you want the best, and you can't go wrong with Randy. And his rates are very reasonable!

Randy has been our business as well as personal accountant for years. I am a GIANT pain in the butt, forget a ton, and am high maintenance, and yet, Randy is able to not only handle all this, but do it with patience and grace. And he isn't "just" an accountant for your taxes: He has helped recommend different business structures to save time and money; has worked alongside my financial advisor and planner; and has even done my payroll!
Not only have I been thrilled with his services, I have recommended him multiple times to many business and personal connections, and everyone I recommend him to loves him as well and is also thrilled with his services.

My husband and I have been with Randy for over 10 years. He has delivered results and saved us money every year. He has a great depth of knowledge in accounting and tax. He has advised us through complex tax situations for our two companies, as well as our personal finances and taxes. In addition to his CPA service, he has a vast life experience and knowledge that we rely on for advice regularly. Most importantly, his services are very affordable. I highly recommend Randy.
