Brian Ess and Leyton helped my business. We had a very unique tax situation that was hard to gauge by multiple tax advisors. We knew we had an issue that had to be solved and the brevity of the situation was a very large number for our company to absorb. Brian and his team were able to guide us through and negotiate on our behalf with the state. Their navigation was so much better than we could have hoped for. We settled for something like pennies on the dollar. I would highly recommend Brian and Leyton to help anyone out with local state tax guidance.
