Pick the one keeping you up at night. Each leads to what Dr. Friday has said about it and how the firm can help.
Most IRS letters are fixable. Don’t ignore it, and don’t call them alone.
Years of unfiled returns are more common than you think. There is a process.
Entity choice, quarterly payments, what to track from day one.
Shoebox of receipts, QuickBooks nobody reconciled, tax-time dread. Fixable.
Payroll is unforgiving on deadlines and penalties. Hand it off.
Roth conversions, gifting, what your kids inherit. Decide now, pay less later.

How every episode of her show on 99.7 WTN opened
Meet Dr. Friday
Born in Indiana, raised in Australia, and a Nashvillian for more than twenty years, Dr. Friday opened the practice with her family in 1995 and named it after her grandmother, the first bookkeeper in the family.
She is an Enrolled Agent, licensed by the U.S. Treasury to represent taxpayers before the IRS at every level. For years she took live calls on the radio from anyone with a tax question; that archive lives here, and a new show is next. Off the mic she drives tractors, builds things, and answers to two Great Danes.
Speaking
A self-made business owner who talks about entrepreneurship, positive thinking, and taxes the way she talks on the radio: plainly, with real stories, and with the room laughing.
