STRATEGY COMPLIANCE GROUP
By The Strategy Counsel
Is this the right fit?
Support shaped around your situation.
An organization or business with a specific IRS notice that needs a defined review—not a promise of tax-debt reduction or a guaranteed resolution.
What you can receive
- 01
Review of the specific notice accepted into scope
- 02
Summary of the issue and stated response deadline
- 03
A list of relevant records and open questions
- 04
Recommended next steps and whether specialist assistance is appropriate
A detail worth knowing.
Do not ignore an IRS notice. Check the instructions and response date. If time is short, contact your existing representative or the IRS using verified contact information rather than waiting for an appointment.
IRS: Understanding your notice or letter ↗Before we begin
The right information makes the review more useful.
- The complete notice, including all pages
- The tax periods and related records requested during intake
- Known deadlines and details of any existing representative
We agree on an appropriate document-transfer process after engagement. Do not upload sensitive records into the consultation scheduler.
The distinction matters
Review. Prepare. File. Represent.
Four different responsibilities. Your engagement should say exactly which ones are included.
Prepare
Develop specified documents or materials only when that work is included.
File
Confirm who approves and submits each filing, and who retains the receipt.
Represent
Accept a defined matter with the necessary qualifications, agreement, and authorization.

Clear expectations
Know what’s included. Know what comes next.
An informed engagement begins with the right questions.
Where should we start?
If you are unsure what needs attention, ask about a Compliance Checkup. If gaps are already identified, an Action Plan may be the more useful starting point. We confirm fit before recommending an engagement.
Do you serve businesses, nonprofits, and churches?
Yes. We tailor the review to your organizational type, activities, locations, and agreed scope. A church, a charitable nonprofit, and a for-profit business should not automatically receive the same checklist.
Does a review include preparation and filing?
Not automatically. Reviewing an obligation, preparing a document, submitting a filing, and representing a client are different services. Your written engagement identifies exactly which tasks are included and who is responsible.
Do you handle every IRS matter?
No. Selected notice reviews and tax-compliance matters are considered based on scope and capacity. Complex collections, audits, appeals, and other specialized matters may require a separate engagement or referral.
Does booking a call establish representation?
No. The 15-minute introductory call is for fit and next steps. Legal or tax representation begins only after appropriate acceptance, an engagement agreement, and any required authorization.
Can you work with our accountant or bookkeeper?
Yes, where authorized and included in scope. We clarify who supplies records, prepares returns, approves documents, and submits filings so responsibilities are not assumed or duplicated.
How are fees and timing determined?
Published prices are starting professional fees in USD. After reviewing the organization, records, jurisdictions, complexity, and deadlines, we confirm a fee, payment structure, timeline, and scope in writing. Meetings and revision allowances are specified in the proposal; no universal allowance is advertised.
Can you guarantee compliance or penalty relief?
No. A scoped review cannot guarantee complete compliance, approval, penalty relief, or a particular agency outcome. Your organization retains its responsibilities and must provide complete, accurate information.
