Our leadership team includes three former IRS Commissioners, Mark Everson, Steven T. Miller, and Kathy Petronchak, and the former Senior Counsel to the Senate Finance Committee that lead a team of experts including former IRS executives, congressional staffers, technical experts and seasoned litigators.
