What are the differences in service among a tax consultant, an attorney, and a CPA, when it comes to tax problem resolution?
The primary difference is that each professional has strengths in different areas. Each can deal with the IRS, but their only area of focus and expertise is not usually the resolution of tax problems. An attorney, for example, focuses on legal issues. If you have criminal issues, Equity Search will refer you to an attorney who can help. Most tax problems are financial problems, not criminal problems. Most CPAs deal with accounting, auditing, financial statements and preparation of tax returns. Many now offer investment services: selling insurance, mutual funds and other investments. Equity Search concentrates strictly on solving tax problems and financial solutions. We do not prepare tax returns or sell investments. Because this is our only area of focus, our knowledge, experience and depth of expertise often surpasses that of an attorney or CPA. Equity Search has a well-established network of professionals with whom we can either consult on your behalf, or refer you when necessary. Eq
