Our Perspective
GWD's perspective is informed by experience across multiple sides of the tax system, including:
- IRS Large Business & International;
- complex federal tax examinations;
- national IRS technical specialization;
- Fortune 500 corporate tax and accounting;
- executive compensation and benefits taxation;
- taxpayer-side tax advisory and representation;
- accounting and taxation education.
Those perspectives inform how we evaluate tax matters today.
Educate. Guide. Advocate.
Educate
Taxpayers should understand the issue before making important decisions.
Guide
Positions should be evaluated based on the facts, applicable tax authority, documentation, procedural posture, and risk.
Advocate
When representation is required, taxpayers deserve disciplined and professional advocacy.
Reduce Decision Uncertainty
GWD evaluates tax positions based on whether the available facts, authority, documentation, and procedural alternatives reduce or increase decision uncertainty.
The goal is not complexity for its own sake.
The goal is better-informed tax decisions.
Work With Your Existing Advisors
GWD can work independently or alongside CPAs, EAs, attorneys, wealth advisors, and other professionals.
When another professional already owns the primary client relationship, GWD can provide specialized support within a defined scope.
