VK Group LLC
VK Group, LLC ’s Enrolled Agent and NTPI Fellow, Rodney Vander Kooi possesses a wealth of experience necessary to competently and diligently deal with a wide variety of bookkeeping scenarios and complex tax situations. As a Midlothian EA, Rod is one of America’s Tax Experts (as recognized by the National Association of Enrolled Agents) and has undergone a background check by the IRS themselves, affirming his competency. He is enrolled to practice without limitations before the IRS. Rod continues to maintain his high-level of knowledge by fulfilling continuing professional education standards and certifications to provide comprehensive tax services and tax problem resolution.
It is our role as your trusted advisors to tackle the daunting prospect of business bookkeeping and tax preparation. We offer QuickBooks setup, we are QuickBooks Online Certified, and help clients customize the program to meet their needs. Our Midlothian bookkeeping and QuickBooks Online Certified services enable small businesses to better manage their financial goals, avoid tax pitfalls, and plan more effectively for future growth.
WHAT IS THE VK GROUP DIFFERENCE?
1. WE ARE A FULL SERVICE TAX RESOLUTION FIRM. Unlike the large national tax resolution “boiler room” operations, we don’t pump, harass, and dump people with IRS problems. We file the prior years’ returns. Resolve your IRS problems. We then keep you current and compliant to avoid future IRS problems. The national resolution firms look forward to repeat offenders.
2. WHAT IS THE NTPI FELLOW DIFFERENCE? Only Federally licensed Enrolled Agents, state licensed CPAs or Attorneys can complete the stringent, three-level program of study that covers all facets of representing clients before the IRS. The process of becoming an NTPI Fellow often takes several years. The NTPI Fellow not only continuously studies the IRS Tax Code and the Tax Payer Bill of Rights, he has been trained in the Internal Revenue Manual (IRM), i.e., the IRS playbook for their employees.
3. THE IMPORTANCE OF AN ENROLLED AGENT THAT IS A MEMBER OF NAEA. The NAEA goes beyond the IRS’ recommendations by requiring members to fulfill continuing education requirements that exceed the IRS’ required minimum. In addition, NAEA members must adhere to a stringent Code of Ethics and Rules of Professional Conduct. Members of NAEA represent their clients and work to make the tax code fair and reasonably enforced. Is your state credentialed tax practitioner even required to take contining tax education every year? You would be surprised. Besides the certainty of death and taxes is the fact that the tax rules change every year.
4. WE WORK TIRELESSLY TO RESOLVE YOUR IRS PROBLEMS EVEN IF IT TAKES TWO YEARS. We settle your case for the lowest amount allowed by law as expeditiously as possible. Once we get your IRS problems resolved, we protect your income and assets from the IRS.
Dear Friend,
I have a feeling I know why you’re reading this right now.
You’re dealing with a tax situation that’s keeping you up at night. Maybe you’ve fallen behind on filing returns from prior years and you’re worried about what the IRS might do next. Or perhaps you’re starting a new business and you’re overwhelmed trying to figure out the right structure, what forms you need, and how to handle everything correctly from the start. Or maybe your tax situation has simply become too complex to navigate on your own, with multiple income streams, investments, rental properties, or multi-state filings that require specialized expertise.
Whatever the reason, you need someone who knows what they’re doing and can help you get it sorted out. As soon as possible. In fact, yesterday would have been ideal.
Am I close?
We get it. We’ve worked with plenty of individuals and business owners who’ve let unfiled returns pile up because they were overwhelmed, or who started a business without proper business advising guidance and now face unexpected complications. And they know that avoiding the problem (or trying to piece together answers from the internet) isn’t going to give them the protection and peace of mind they need.
Perhaps this is your story too. Or perhaps you’ve reached a point where your tax situation has become complex enough that you want an expert who specializes in handling these exact scenarios.
Or are you just starting your business and want to begin on the right foot with proper LLC setup, tax planning, and strategic business advising?
Whatever the reason, we want you to know that our team has been diligently taking care of the tax preparation, resolution, and business advising needs of our clients across a wide variety of situations—expertly handling prior year filings, IRS issues, business formation guidance, and complex returns that require specialized attention.
Because here’s a certain truth as it relates to taxes and your business: The State and Federal Government would love to have more of your business’s hard-earned money in their accounts. And yes, even though it’s painful, none of us begrudge paying our legal and fair share of taxes. But the problem is that regular business owners, like you, are missing out on legal and safe deductions to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in unclaimed refunds every year.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to hand more dollars over to the government than they require just because you don’t know their rules as well as they do. You don’t have to live in a constant state of anxiety over unfiled returns or wonder whether you’re handling your business taxes correctly.
In fact, to help you find answers to your questions, I’ve compiled some resources in the last couple of years for business people like you in response to the specific questions I’ve received from my clients.
