Who We Are
For over 30 years, Mike Franskoviak and his team have helped distressed and confused taxpayers navigate the tricky terrain of tax issues. With his help, numerous clients throughout the years have successfully protected themselves from IRS seizure of their accounts and property.
Most taxpayers, when facing a “not received” notice or other warning from the IRS do not know their own rights nor what avenues for settlement are open to them. This can result in delays in taking any action to fix their tax problems.
Unfortunately, the longer one waits, the more penalties and interest can build up. The Franskoviak team believes in taking the time to not only help their clients negotiate with the IRS or Michigan state government agencies, but also to help them gain a fuller knowledge of their own rights and protections.

Let Us Help:
Friend,
“Closers” have run their numbers, and they know that certain IRS problems can net them big fees. Sure, they’ll quote you a smaller fee during the so-called “financial analysis” in the beginning stages of the process – but they also know that there are lots of different ways that they can tack on additional fees during the process so that, no matter what, they’ll get paid.
My team and I would like to invite you into a different kind of process.
Mind you – we are BULLDOGS when it comes to negotiating on behalf of our clients in front of the IRS. We have plenty of stories to prove it.
We want to fight for you – and you will never have to speak with the IRS yourself.
Click on the button below to take your first step. Feel free to poke around our site and discover why I’ve been called “The Most Trusted Tax Professional in Detroit Metro area.”
PS — If you are discussing your tax situation over the telephone with other firms, be sure to ask them one important question:
“Are you a licensed tax professional that is legally eligible to offer me tax advice, or are you a salesman?”
This is by far the single most important question you should ask anybody trying to offer you tax advice. If they are a salesperson, I highly encourage you to run quickly in the opposite direction.
PPS – Already ready to come in?
I don’t blame you…many folks are fed up with the other options out there. Our schedule is very full…but if you call us at 855-829-3499 or Email Us, we’ll give you two options for coming in right away! We will NOT make dealing with a tax professional as painful as it’s been in the past!
Talk again soon,
Michael A. Franskoviak, CPA
