When I met Scott Sliker of The Sales Tax Professionals in 2013, we were in the process of wrapping up a 3 year New York State sales tax audit. Our company was about to write a big check to NYS. Thank God I met Scott at a seminar the week before I signed the final document. Through his negotiation, Scott saved us quite a bit of money. Since then,
Their team has performed an internal audit for our company every year. Through this relationship, The Sales Tax Professionals have taught me a great deal about NYS sales tax law.

Our company engaged The Sales Tax Professionals to review our payment files and tax returns.
On an ongoing, consistent basis, The Sales Tax Professionals implement procedures to ensure sales tax compliance from estimating, accounts payable, and billings. Scott and his group have continued to keep our company current with any changes to sales tax regulations. I have recommended The Sales Tax Professionals to our Owners, Subcontractors, and vendors all with positive results.

I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT! An accountant suggested that I call The Sales Tax Professionals. They reviewed the very same records as my accountant did. Not only did they help me to greatly reduce the audit assessment, but I was able to file for a refund of more than $136,000. I highly recommend The Sales Tax Professionals.
