Simple Finances®

Tax Debt Resolution  ·  Business Valuation  ·  Financial Leadership

Tax debt, an uncertain business value, and a business without financial direction all get harder to solve the longer you wait.

Simple Finances® helps small business owners, self-employed taxpayers, and individuals solve serious tax and financial problems. We resolve tax debt with the Internal Revenue Service. We establish what a business is worth before a sale or transition.  And we provide part-time financial leadership for owners who need senior financial oversight without a full-time hire.

You Owe the IRS.  Here is What Happens if You Wait.

When the Internal Revenue Service contacts you about money you owe, waiting makes things worse.

Interest and penalties increase every month, and the government has strong legal tools to collect what it says you owe.

Tax notices escalate. What starts as a letter can become a federal tax lien — a legal claim recorded against your property and credit.

Notices can also lead to a levy, which lets the government seize your wages or freeze your bank account. Both move faster than people expect.

Simple Finances® represents individuals and business owners throughout every stage of the collection process.

We pull your official government records, review every option open to your case, and deliver a written plan with clear next steps.

We work with clients facing these problems:

• Balance-due notices or formal demand letters from the Internal Revenue Service they do not know how to answer
• Payment plans that collapsed because the monthly amount became unworkable
• Federal tax liens recorded against their property, credit, or business assets
• Wage garnishment or bank account freezes — started or formally threatened by the government
• Unfiled returns from prior years that are creating a growing problem with the government
• Business payroll tax debt or personal liability for unpaid employee withholding

After the review, you decide whether to engage us for full representation. The review fee credits toward the cost of that engagement.

Business Valuation — Know What Your Business Is Worth

Business owners who do not know what their company is worth tend to find out at the worst possible time — during a sale, a partner negotiation, or an ownership transfer.

Business valuation gives you a documented, defensible number that reflects what a ready buyer would pay today.

That number drives your exit plan, your financing conversations, and every deal you negotiate going forward.

Valuation also reveals what is dragging your price down and what you can correct before going to market.

Owners who address those gaps before a sale consistently walk away with stronger offers.

We prepare valuations for owners who need to:

• Plan to scale or sell and want to know where they stand today and how to improve
• Bring in a partner or outside investor and need an independent number both sides trust
• Transfer ownership to a family member, a business partner, or a key employee
• Establish a defensible value for a buy-sell agreement or a business dispute
• Benchmark where the business stands now so they can measure growth toward an eventual exit

Part-Time Financial Leadership for Growing Businesses

Hiring a full-time financial executive costs more than $150,000 a year in salary alone.

Small business owners need that level of financial thinking, but few can justify that expense before the business has enough revenue to support it.

Part-time financial leadership gives you a senior advisor who works inside your business on a regular basis, helping you make well-grounded financial decisions without the cost of a full-time hire.

You get independent financial perspective and a direct read on where your money is going.

This is not bookkeeping or tax filing. We help business owners read their numbers, plan for growth, and make decisions grounded in what the business actually earns.

Owners bring us in to help with:

• Understanding their true financial position, not just the balance in their bank account
• Building a budget and cash flow plan that works month after month
• Preparing the business financially before approaching a lender, a partner, or an outside investor
• Installing the financial controls and reporting the business needs before growth creates a problem
• Getting clear answers about whether the business is profitable and where the money is going
