Planning, compliance, and representation.

The practice supports tax planning and preparation, closely held business tax issues, and IRS notices or unresolved tax matters.

My Approach

Eric begins with the facts: what has changed, what deadlines matter, what the IRS or state agency is asking for, and where planning can still make a difference. That practical approach helps clients make tax decisions with clearer context.

  • Direct communication: Work with Eric on the issues that matter most.
  • Careful review: Complex returns, notices, entities, and planning questions are handled with attention to detail.
  • Proactive guidance: When possible, planning starts before decisions and deadlines are final.
  • Advisor coordination: Eric can coordinate with attorneys, investment advisors, and other professionals where tax input is appropriate.

Tax guidance is most useful when it is grounded in the client’s real facts, documents, and deadlines.
