Tax Problem Resolution

Let our team of experienced tax relief experts help you find the light at the end of the tunnel.

For Small Businesses

Establish greater profitability and business efficiency.

And even if you don’t live in the area (if you’ll pardon my bias), here’s why you should immediately email or call me…

When it comes to tax resolution and negotiating with government institutions, you can’t afford to mess around – nor can you afford to get in bed with “sales rooms” masquerading as a professional tax office. There’s simply too much at stake. And there are too many landmines along the path.

My name is Michael A. Essick. I am a licensed CPA, CTRF, and I can represent you in front of the IRS. I’ve been doing so on behalf of clients (both local and national) now for years.

But what you DON’T need is to be bombarded by ruthless sales pitches and overbearing junk mail simply because your situation was picked up by some database somewhere, and you were targeted as a “hot lead.” Yes, this is how these operations can afford to advertise on national television and radio. They have a sales system, and they work it. Very hard.

Here’s the dirty secret of the national tax relief industry: Almost all of your contact will be with a commissioned salesperson. A closer. And their mission is to close YOU.

Knowledge and direction in getting to the finish line

I wanted to give Michael Essick a big shout-out and thank you, for guiding me to the finish line in dealing with a 10+ year battle with the IRS. My challenges with the IRS started in 2007 when the economic meltdown began. My business took a 70% hit, and all of my assets dropped 40-50%. A couple of years later, I started working on an Offer in Compromise to get relief from a tax burden that was growing at a rate I would never be able to repay. From 2010 to 2018 I put together 4 offers, all denied. I then hired a national firm I'd seen advertised on a news channel to help get it done. After over a year of back and forth, the attorney. made an agreement with the IRS that did not settle anything, but only delayed liens. I called the attorney and told her that was unacceptable to me to delay, I wanted a settlement that I was clear on from the beginning. She let me know that she would need a large amount of money up front to go down the road. I said, "You're fired!" After I made another attempt on my own and getting bad advice from the IRS, I took a breather until they filed a lien on me again. I got dozens of emails, calls, and junk mail almost daily, most of which hit the round file or deleted. One letter caught my eye, it was from Michael and for some reason, I left it on my desk and picked it up maybe a month later, opened it, called him and set an appointment. I felt comfortable and hopeful for the first visit and took his guidance throughout the process to submission feeling confident this time it was going to work. After getting an initial response about a month or two after submitting OIC, it was crickets from the agency for months and months, until I got the call from Michael a couple of days after Christmas that my offer was accepted. Best Christmas present ever. I will forever be grateful to Michael for his knowledge and direction in getting to the finish line. If you're as frustrated as I was in fighting the IRS for a dozen years, I highly recommend that you hire Michael to get it behind you!

I called Mike and told him how desperate I was for a resolve to an issue I was having. He had me come in that same day. He was so very personable and professional! He gave me advice on solving the issue at hand and I was able to breathe again! I highly recommend Mike I will for sure go back to him when needing financial assistance!

Thank you times a million

September 28, 2018 We are a tiny travel agency that has been in business since 2004. While looking back to the different CPA firms that we have employed for our corporate and personal tax filings, we had never had a moment where our extended filing date was a problem until last year. Enter Michael Essick, who was recommended to us via his posting at a long-time client's church community board. To say it was a hornet's nest of IRS threatening form letters, and being dumped by the prior CPA firm, was just the start. Mike welcomed us in and gave us time to plead our case, then giving tentative and real solutions that worked for us. Even after a negative reply from the IRS, mike is still hopeful and still seeking a better outcome. Bravo for the "Go Get Them" attitude! As of today, we have followed Mike's advice and not only have we caught up on the monies that were requested by the IRS for 2018, he also completed the 2017 corporate and personal taxes filing for us, which produced a surprising refund. Yay for us, and yay for Mike, for turning around our small business with big tax problems and helping us get back into the black in less than six months. Our appreciation for his skill and efforts will continue beyond the life of our agency. These last six months have proven that mike is a trusted and honest business person who can untangle financial business issues, as he did for us and as he will for people that we will be sending his way. Thank you, a million times. Steven and Lanette Rice The Cruise Butler Boerne, TX

Mike went to bat for us and stopped the IRS collection efforts. He got us time when other national firms could not.
