Drew T. July 6, 2024
Top Tier Legal Tax Support in Michigan As recent entrant to starting my own business and navigating the cumbersome process that this entails, I was in the dark as to what processes I needed to follow to successfully complete setup. I reached out to friends, and through a referral, was introduced to Chad. I have never looked back. Chad was integral to not only helping me navigate the detail needed to set up my business successfully, but to file all the appropriate paperwork, and, even introduced me to ancillary contacts that helped me set up payroll and additional basic business requirements. It's one thing to be able to file paperwork and forms, it's another to bring the bear the inimitable armamentarium that Chad embraces to make the process painless and even educational. For that I am thankful. If your just getting started, or even a seasoned vet, I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Accessible and knowledgeable when it came to my tax issues. I must have spoke with over 4 or 5 accountants and attorneys before I finally found Silver Tax Group and got some resolution. Nobody wanted to touch my case with a ten-foot pole and these guys knew exactly what needed to be done, and how to respond to the IRS. If you are dealing with any sort of international tax issues regarding foreign banking, definitely give them a call. The amount of money they saved me was well worth it.
