Friend,

“Closers” have run their numbers, and they know that certain IRS problems can net them big fees. Sure, they’ll quote you a smaller fee during the so-called “financial analysis” in the beginning stages of the process – but they also know that there are lots of different ways that they can tack on additional fees during the process so that, no matter what, they’ll get paid.

My team and I would like to invite you into a different kind of process.

Mind you – we are BULLDOGS when it comes to negotiating on behalf of our clients in front of the IRS. We have plenty of stories to prove it.

We want to fight for you – and you will never have to speak with the IRS yourself.

Click on the button below to take your first step. Feel free to poke around our site and discover why I’ve been called “The Most Trusted Tax Professional in New York State.”

PS — If you are discussing your tax situation over the telephone with other firms, be sure to ask them one important question:

“Are you a licensed tax professional that is legally eligible to offer me tax advice, or are you a salesman?”

This is by far the single most important question you should ask anybody trying to offer you tax advice. If they are a salesperson, I highly encourage you to run quickly in the opposite direction.

In 2019, I had a major tax liability that was affecting my business’ stability and health. I was referred to LEK Management and worked with Lynn Karam, CEO LEK Management to detail a tax resolution plan. Lynn is very astute with finances and for months, negotiated very hard with the IRS to submit an Offer in Compromise on my behalf which was accepted. Since then, she has diligently followed up throughout the tax year to ensure our P&L and balance sheets are current for end of year filing. It is so reassuring to know that we have immediate access to her financial expertise. I highly recommend her!

I was extremely pleased with the work that LEK Management performed for our company. Lynn was on top of everything from day one. She advised me all through the Workers Compensation Audit and in the end we were able to pay much less than anticipated. I will continue to use the services offered. I highly recommend this company due to its competency, professionalism, and overall knowledge of the New York State audit process.

I first got introduced to Lynn in 2018 by a close colleague of mine. Despite working with another tax agent I kept finding out that year after year I owed more and more taxes. It caused me great anxiety. I was working with a tax agent at that time who was supposedly filing my taxes. I worked with the individual for at least 3-4 years but realized that my taxes over a 10 year period were improperly filed or not filed at all. I owed payroll taxes, New York City taxes, and New York state taxes. It was a very stressful time in my life. Lynn sat down with me and took inventory of my entire situation. She gave me great confidence that there was light at the end of the tunnel and that I would survive this financial turmoil. I have had the pleasure of working with Lynn over the past several years and I cannot emphasize enough the tremendous value she has brought to my financial life. Her expertise, dedication, and unwavering commitment to my business have been truly remarkable. One of the most impressive aspects of her work is her exceptional ability to keep me on track with my taxes. She has been invaluable in ensuring that I meet all the necessary deadlines, providing me with clear guidance on tax planning strategies, and maximizing my deductions. Her attention to detail and thorough understanding of the ever-changing tax laws have given me peace of mind in knowing that my taxes are in capable hands. She was instrumental in negotiating on my behalf to obtain installment agreements for my New York state taxes, New York City taxes, and payroll taxes. Beyond her professional acumen, I have had the pleasure of experiencing Lynn's warm and personable personality. She genuinely cares about her clients, taking the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and ensure that I fully understand the financial implications of my decisions. Her ability to communicate complex financial matters in a clear and accessible manner is truly commendable. She also played a role in developing personal life plans to creating family budget strategies. At this point, she feels like an extended family. I am grateful that she works with me and would recommend her without reservation.
