Bookkeeping - Tax preparation - IRS representation - please see services section Founded in 1990, The Schlichting Group is a boutique tax controversy, tax compliance firm founded to help small business and self employed individuals have access to highly skilled and experienced taxpayer advocates. Solving complex IRS tax issues and finding the most pain free solution based on the clients financial situation is the peace our practitioners work daily to provide our client. Delegate the issue to the pros and focus your time and energy running your business and making the phone ring. If the company is in a tailspin and its about to crash you have a skilled advocate to help you specifically direct payments to the trust fund to get it paid off and hopefully avoiding the personal assessment of the trust fund to the business owner or "responsible parties". That assessment and liens that come with it can be devastating individually as they exempted from discharge in a bankruptcy and can be statutorily a 10 year noose for all "responsible" parties encumbered. Jay Schlichting recognized his 2nd calling amid the oil & gas meltdown of the late 80's in Midland Texas, as he saw friends and business men wiped out battling IRS instead of doing what they do best, making their phone ring. Jay knew that the right person with the right knowledge could step in and guide clients through the IRS storm. He knew he was the right man and had confidence that there existed a need for profession experienced advocates to help clients with their IRS issues. Over the next several years Jay invested his time, resources and some blood sweat and tears learning on the fly and obtaining education he needed to get into the fray. In 1990 Jay hung out his shingle as a freshly minted enrolled agent. People ask us why SlickTax.com? Because it’s a heck of lot easier to spell and market than Schlichting.
