Here is How We Gain Trust with Our Clients
Tax Planning for Businesses
Issue:
You met your CPA, and you deducted all business expenses on your tax return, but you are still left with a huge tax liability. With all these taxes, you are wondering if it’s even worth making money and building a profitable business?
You might be comfortable with your CPA. He/she files your tax returns on-time, your books are always up to date, but you don’t feel that he has the time needed to explore tax saving strategies that may help reduce your taxes. In fact, when is the last time your CPA called you (outside of tax season) and invited you to his/her office to discuss tax saving strategies?
Solution:
Pogosian Tax Planning offers solutions to your tax problems. By implementing advanced and vetted tax strategies that are normally available only to wealthy family office clients, we may help you reduce tax, increase cash flow, and alleviate tax stress. You don’t have to fire your CPA to work with us because we don’t offer any traditional tax and accounting services. We are ready to team up with your CPA with one goal in mind- legally reduce your tax burden.
CPA Referrals
Issue:
As a CPA in public accounting, you are busy with tax compliance work and don’t have time to research advanced tax planning strategies. Furthermore, you are not even sure if your client is willing to pay you for all the time-consuming work it takes to implement advanced tax planning strategies (e.g. vet tax attorneys, conduct case law research on their proposed tax strategies).
Solution:
Vardan Pogosian was in public accounting and understands the challenges CPAs face and he is here to help. As a former IRS Agent, Vardan has vetted tax reduction strategies from the government’s perspective. When he is presented with a tax reduction strategy, Vardan first asks “Would I allow this deduction when I was an IRS Agent?”. The answer requires research of the tax code, case law, and pasts IRS audit results. Only after such careful vetting and research, Vardan is comfortable adopting such strategy and offering it to his clients.
When you trust us with your client, we can handle the entire engagement with very minimal input from you-the CPA. Or, if you prefer, we can facilitate the entire tax planning engagement in the background, and you can be the “face” of the engagement. Either way, the goal is to help your client legally minimize tax and make you look like a hero. Rest assured, we will never solicit your client for any traditional tax and accounting services. We are not here to compete but rather collaborate.

IRS Audits Are Serious Business: Don’t Go it Alone
Nothing strikes more fear in the heart of a business owner than an IRS audit. Not only does it require excellent recordkeeping and the ability to justify all your expenses, but it is highly dependent on your demeanor and ability to respond appropriately under duress to the IRS auditor. Those who are ‘in the know’ realize that an IRS audit requires an expert who is, not only an expert in tax law, but also understands IRS protocol.

What Happens When You Don’t Respond to the IRS?
The Internal Revenue Service is a government agency, and as such, they won’t go away until they make a decision – for or against you. If you ignore or delay responding to a letter, it will get worse over time, accruing penalties and finance charges on top of what may be a very expensive tax ruling against your business. The IRS also has the power to put a lien on your property, freeze your bank accounts, and take possession of your personal property. Please don’t ignore the IRS.
