Accomplishments
- I completed the IRS audits successfully and saved a huge amount of tax for the company I worked for in Atlanta, USA.
- By providing the requested documents momentarily, we kept the IRS auditors happy and made sure that the company followed all the accounting standards and proper bookkeeping.
- Originally, the IRS audits were scheduled for a 6-month time period; however, I was so proactive and responded back to the IDR's momentarily, which helped the audit to be finalized well before the deadline.
