When you hire me, you work with me — not a junior associate or a call center. I'm James McIntosh, EA, NTPI Fellow — dedicated to two things: resolving IRS tax problems and building proactive tax strategies for US taxpayers wherever they are in the world.
My practice was built for the modern taxpayer. No appointments, no fax machines, no local office. Just expert tax relief and planning — available wherever you are.
Book directly online at a time that works in your time zone. We'll review your situation and I'll give you an honest assessment.
Upload your tax documents through my encrypted client portal. No email attachments, no faxing — simple and secure.
Once authorized as your representative, the IRS deals with me. I fight for the best resolution while keeping you informed.
Whether it's an audit, back taxes, or unfiled returns — we reach a resolution and you move forward with confidence.
From expats in Europe to business owners in the US — here's what clients say about working with James.
"I hadn't filed in four years and was terrified of the IRS. James walked me through the whole process, handled everything, and got my penalties reduced significantly. He made what felt impossible feel manageable."
"Living in Germany, I couldn't find anyone who understood both expat tax and IRS representation. James does both. He handled my FBAR filings, got me caught up, and I never had to leave my apartment."
"I received an IRS audit notice and panicked. James took over immediately, communicated directly with the IRS, and resolved it in my favor. Worth every dollar. He clearly knows exactly how these things work."
Most clients come to me with the same concerns. Here are honest answers.
An Enrolled Agent (EA) is a federally licensed tax professional with unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS — for any tax matter, any taxpayer, any IRS office. It's the highest credential the IRS grants.
The National Tax Practice Institute (NTPI) Fellowship is an advanced designation earned through extensive coursework in IRS practice, procedure, and representation strategy. Fewer than 1% of tax professionals hold this credential.
No. My entire practice is virtual. I work with US taxpayers in every country and time zone. All documents through a secure portal, meetings via video call.
I help you build a legal strategy to reduce your future tax burden — entity selection, retirement contributions, timing income/deductions, and more. Then I implement it. Not just advice; actual results.
The amount owed doesn't determine whether I can help — it determines which strategy makes sense. I've helped clients with balances from a few thousand to six figures.
Absolutely not. Our initial consultation is completely confidential. The IRS is only notified when we file a formal power of attorney to begin representation on your behalf.
