Richard Schickel

Being in my early thirties, single, and seeking a challenge, I got the idea in my head to start my own business.  However, not being exceptionally savvy with accounting or the intricacies of entrepreneurship, I made several [honest] mistakes along the way, and found myself in the middle of a tax audit where the stakes were fairly high. I contacted Richard to represent me as an enrolled agent.  He took the time to understand my situation, asking all the right questions to quickly get down to the heart of the matter, and prepared a solid case to represent me before the IRS.  He worked with efficiency and dedication, coming up to speed on a year and a half of expenses in only a few days. He knew all the ins and outs of the process from years of experience both in the IRS and as an independent enrolled agent, and was able to get all the right forms prepared, reaching out to me only as he needed additional information or financial statements. What I especially appreciated was how understanding Richard was, completely non-judgmental when it came to the mistakes I made (and there were several). Richard has a sharp mind and knows how to sift through mounds of documents to find what’s most needed, and can interpolate effectively if not all of the necessary information is available. Richard also has an unwavering optimism that will help give you peace of mind during what would otherwise be a stressful process.   In my case, Richard came out on top, and I didn’t end up owing anything further to the IRS, despite my sister (who is a licensed accountant in another state) thinking I would likely end up owing money when I explained my situation to her.   While I hope to never be in another situation where I need representation in a tax audit, I would absolutely turn to Richard again if something ever comes up.  In fact, working with Richard was so pleasant, a part of me was a little sad after he won my case and I knew I wouldn’t be seeing him any more. I wholeheartedly recommend his services if you find yourself in a tax audit. If your situation is winnable, you can count on Richard to win, and if it's not, he'll still get you the best possible deal.
