State and Local Tax 360˚

Posted by brianstrahle on 67721 printer friendly

My name is Brian Strahle and I hope you find this blog informative and useful.  My personal mission is to fix and prevent state tax problems. I provide companies with leverage (knowledge, judgment and advocacy) so they can operate across state lines with peace of mind.

I am a multistate tax consultant and I serve clients across the U.S. from my office in Washington D.C. For more info, visit my website:  www.leveragestateandlocaltax.com

Because state and local taxes are deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.
