Audit defense

Built to hold up. Supported if questioned.

The best audit defense starts long before an audit. We build every claim with examination in mind, and we’re there to help if the IRS asks questions.

How we support you

When the IRS asks, you’re ready.

Document request responses

We help you understand what an Information Document Request is asking for and assemble clear, organized responses from your claim file.

Technical narratives

Clear explanations of each business component, the uncertainty you faced and how you experimented, written so a non-engineer can follow.

Support through exams

We help prepare your team for meetings and interviews and support you through the examination process, alongside your CPA or tax counsel.

Audit-ready from day one

What makes a claim defensible?

Examiners look for a clear connection between the work, the four-part test, and the costs claimed. Our studies are organized around exactly that.

Project-level detail

Business components identified and described, matching Section G expectations.

Evidence, not estimates

Claims tied to real records: designs, tickets, test logs and time data.

Consistent methodology

The same clear approach every year, so your story holds together.

Please note: No firm can guarantee the outcome of an IRS examination. Audit support scope is set out in each engagement. This page is general information, not tax or legal advice.
