The Former-Auditor Advantage
Why Former State Auditors Win Your Case
Our entire team is made up of former Texas Comptroller auditors and supervisors. We were the people who once issued these assessments — so we know precisely how they are built, where the weaknesses are, and how to dismantle an overstated number.
We Know the Playbook
We understand sampling methods, estimation techniques, and exemption rules from the inside — and we use that against an inflated assessment.
We Reduce the Numbers
We have reduced millions in proposed assessments and recovered refunds clients did not even know they were owed.
We Handle Everything
From the first questionnaire to the hearing room, we manage the Comptroller relationship so you can keep running your business.

Audit Defense
"When the Comptroller opened an audit, I panicked. This team took over from the questionnaire forward and cut the proposed assessment by more than half. Calm, sharp, and clearly former auditors."
Refund Recovery
"Their understanding of oilfield exemptions recovered six figures in overpaid sales tax we had no idea we were owed. The refund research alone paid for itself many times over."
Permits & Filings
"From permit setup to monthly filings, they keep all our locations compliant so we never get a surprise notice from the Comptroller. It's peace of mind I didn't know was possible."
Hearings & Review
"We were ready to give up after a brutal audit. They took it to an independent review and a hearing, challenged the sampling, and the result was a fraction of the original number."
Consulting & Compliance
"Their compliance review found taxability errors in our billing before the state ever did. Fixing it proactively saved us from what could have been a painful assessment down the road."
Industry Strategy
"They built a sales tax strategy around our manufacturing exemptions that we now rely on every quarter. Having former auditors design it means we trust it will hold up under scrutiny."
