CPA Services

Encourage Your Clients to Take a Better Route When Dealing with IRS Criminal Investigations

CPA’s are specialized in various areas of accounting, including write-up, income tax preparation, auditing, consulting, and business valuation. Generally, CPA firms prefer clients that comply with laws and regulations and prefer not to be involved in criminal income tax cases, fraud, money laundering or structuring cases. Therefore, most CPA firms prefer to refer a case with criminal law ramifications to a specialist.

When your client is involved with an IRS criminal matter, they look to you for help. However, you will have a conflict of interest; because you will be a government witness. You can help your client by referring them to Sage. We are specialists in criminal IRS matters, and we can help them prevail. Your clients will be grateful and appreciative to you and remain your loyal client. Sage does not perform write-up, income tax preparation, or auditing services. We do not want your tax business. We just want to help your clients who have an IRS criminal matter.

When it comes to criminal procedures of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for income tax matters, money laundering matters (18 USC 1956 and 1957), Form 8300 violations (26 USC 6050I) and Structuring (31 USC 5324), Sage Investigations is your client’s best ally. With over 50 years of combined IRS Special Agent experience, we know the ins and outs of the IRS and our team has the experience and expertise necessary to efficiently and effectively follow the money in complex financial investigations.
