Thank You for Visiting us.
Have you ever called an accounting firm and immediately felt lost? It happens to small businesses all the time. Individual taxpayers get lost, too, because you are "just" a once-a-year client. You'll probably end up talking to a different person each year. Not here.
Here at Acumen, we strive to give top attention to our clients' small business accounting and personal accounting and tax situations. We get to know you. And we always keep your best interests at heart. Each client deserves our undivided attention when we work for them. You can always be certain that we treat your data carefully and as if they are our own. And you will always get responses from us. That's our guarantee. We will always watch your back.
We are different from most other firms out there because we understand that when all is said and done, it's all about relationships, reliability, and consistency. We want every client encounter to end with the client happy that they contacted or heard from us and that someone cares about their situation and will actually help.
We're small. And that's good for you. It's quite simple, really...we love what we do, and we truly appreciate our clients.
We solve problems for taxpayers. We do great accounting and tax. And we do it with passion.
Our Main Specialty is Solving Tax Problems
We do a great job with the same things as every other accounting firm. From small business bookkeeping to monthly closes, tax planning and preparation, you can find hundreds of firms that do a great job, and we’re proud to be part of that group. We will do a great job with your individual tax returns, too.
But what happens if you get a letter from the IRS saying you owe thousands? Or you have old returns that need to be prepared, or old tax debts that need to be paid? Those national chains that advertise on TV only know one way to handle things, and it’s not very effective—just put their name into a search engine followed by the word “complaint” and you’ll see what we mean. They’re not local, either, so simply reaching them is a challenge.
Local accounting firms tend to only have rudimentary training in handling taxpayer problems. They’re great at the basics, but getting good resolutions are rare.
Don't let those notices sit in a pile unopened. You risk losing rights if you do.
This is serious stuff. You don’t want to do battle with the IRS by yourself or with someone representing you who doesn’t do much of this kind of work. The kinder, gentler IRS is long gone, and they will slap penalties, interest, or worse on you without batting an eye. It’s like going into court without an attorney on your side. It won’t go well.
Here at Acumen, we have the credentials, technology, and in-depth knowledge on how to handle complex IRS problems. We won’t promise settlements for pennies on the dollar. It happens only once in a great while. If you qualify, we’ll fight for that. Our approach is making sure that you won’t pay more than you have to, that the IRS hasn’t made mistakes or trampled your rights, and that the final outcome is fair to everyone. And if you don’t have the means to pay now, there are several methods we can take so that you can pay over time.
IRS happens.
