About Us
Plain and simple, we negotiate settlements of Individual and Business back taxes with the IRS, more often than not, for a lot less than what is owed. Example: our most recent settlement for a client that owed $127,000 was $300 via an Offer In Compromise, which is a difficult process that often results in a rejection. To date, we have a 98% success rate, with multiple accepted offers with the IRS of $25, and $100. Our Offer clients have collectively owed $960k, and acceptances have wiped out $940k, and counting. Your offer could be the next one accepted, so call and see if you qualify! See our recent testimonials on our blog site: www.stopirsnow.streamlinetaxresolution.com We also work to release bank levies, wage garnishments, and tax liens.

How We Got Started
I truly enjoy helping people, and bettering their situations. So when I discovered I had a talent for getting people out of back tax trouble with the IRS, and wiping out their taxes owed in a material way, I felt I had found my calling. This is the best job, and only job I've ever had where I can directly, and positively impact people's lives in a very significant way. After years of successful negotiations while working for a large resolution firm, I started my own firm, and picked up right where I left off, and immediately obtained an IRS acceptance of a $25 offer on a $17,000 Individual tax liability. My client was in tears and sheer disbelief that her huge tax burden was wiped away almost overnight. I knew I made the right decision in setting out on my own, and I haven't looked back since.

I miss The Black Whale steak and seafood restaurant, in Marina del Rey, CA. They had the best and freshest quality seafood I ever had at the time. The clam chowder and sourdough bread were to die for, and that was before you were served their array of delicious lobster, fried shrimp, sautéed shrimp, clams, steak, crab legs, scallops, calamari, crab cakes, sea bass and a variety of other fish. And the drinks were awesome, even the iced tea. It was relatively small, at first, and there was typically an hour or so wait to get a table. The ambience was off the charts, with their on the ocean vibe. There were old black & white photos of fisherman and catch, film and sports celebrities on the wall, in addition to old school fishing boat fixtures, including the steering wheel (or whatever it's called, lol). It was eventually sold, and they expanded the restaurant size, and skimped on the quality and the food never tasted the same afterwards. Before long, it went out of business. Haven't seen any in the area that has even come close to the restaurant legend.

Sorry for the long response, but there are some good nuggets here, drawing from 10 years of Accounting & Finance Recruiting/Headhunting.
I think the questions you ask depend upon the position you're looking to fill. For lower level hires, the canned questions, like you've mentioned, can help gauge the candidates' communication skills, how astute they are, in general, and how prepared they are for the interview. So, don't do away with those questions, completely. If they answer those types of questions well, then move onto the more in depth questions designed to identify your potential "good" hires. If they don't answer those questions well, it could be a clue as to how they may fare (or not) in the role you're looking to fill.
For example, "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" If they respond by saying, "I want to be a Manager, President of the company, running my own business, moving out of state", etc., then you have someone who is overly ambitious, or isn't in tune with the company/job. A better response would be, "in 5 years, I hope to have obtained a lot of experience in this role, taken on more responsibility, and helping the company out wherever needed". That's a person who's focused, looking to work hard, is a team player, and looking to grow with the company. Although the question is canned, it still uncovers a lot about the person. And if their response it "canned", it tells you that they at least took the time to prepare, whether it was genuine or not.
For higher level positions, opened ended questions are effective, like, "tell me about yourself, or "why do you feel you're a good fit for this position?". If the candidate is stumped by these, or respond by saying, "what do you want to know?", then perhaps they may not be ready to take on high level work. For the more solid candidates, this is the best question to have asked of them, because it gives them the floor to showcase all of their talents. They're able to showcase their communication skills (it's an oral conversation, obviously), organization skills (because they have the opportunity to present themselves in an organized fashion), display their personality (which is very important to existing employees), confidence and enthusiasm for the job, and more importantly, indicate relevant skills they have for the position. If they do a good job at this, then not only are they prepared for the interview, but have given the position some thought, and connected the dots between the position with their skillsets. As a candidate, that's exactly what you want to accomplish in an interview. When you're asked a bunch of questions, you don't always get the opportunity to showcase all your relevant talents. What if they don't ask you the one question where you would shine? Open ended questions allow you to improvise, and cover what you feel is important for them to hear in the interview.
Afterwards, you can drill down on certain responses to find out more about the candidate, and their potential fit within the company.
Hope this helps!

I can honestly say, YES, I absolutely love what I do now, AND I've had to start over to do it.
I'm a CPA who went the usual route; public accounting, financial reporting in the private industry, etc. It was something I knew how to do, but didn't love it. The idea of helping people better their situations really piqued my interest, and lead me into recruiting for Accounting & Finance (head hunting). Back when jobs were posted in newspapers, I found countless numbers of individuals better jobs paying more money. The commissions were great, and everyone was happy. But when the trifecta happened for recruiting (dot.com bubble burst, 911 event, real estate bubble burst) and the advent of the internet, scores of unemployed people (my inventory) hit the streets. With people beating down the doors of my client companies, and with tools like the internet, HotJobs, Monster.com, and job postings on company websites, the recruiting industry shrunk.
Luckily, I found work with a tax resolution company, and quickly discovered that I could make an even more significant impact in people's lives by negotiating settlements with the IRS. One of my first clients owed $1.2 million, and I negotiated a settlement for $750,000, saving him $1/2 million dollars. After learning the ropes, I started Streamline Tax Resolution and picked up right where I left off, negotiating great settlements. Just a month and a half ago, I had a client that owed $127,000 to the IRS, and I got an Offer In Compromised accepted for $300. Over the past 15 months, I've gotten six $25 offers accepted for clients who owed $20,000 on average, and four $100 offers for clients that owed as much as $32,000. I don't say this in a bragging way, but rather in a genuinely excited way over the significant way I can impact a person's financial life. And at the end of the day, I feel like I've done something worthwhile for somebody, and it's a great feeling. Doesn't feel like work or a job at all; I absolutely love it.
