What We Do at Boulanger CPA

At Boulanger CPA and Consulting PC, we don’t run a high-volume tax prep shop. We’re a boutique CPA firm built specifically to handle high-stakes IRS and California tax problems for individuals and business owners who can’t afford to get this wrong.


If you owe $25,000 or more, are facing IRS or FTB enforcement, or have years of unresolved tax issues — you’re in the right place.



We don’t offer generic help. We build strategy.

We Represent Clients In:


✅ IRS Tax Debt Resolution


If the IRS is demanding more than you can pay, we’ll help you resolve it through the most effective option — whether that’s an Offer in Compromise, Partial Pay Installment Agreement, or another path.


✅ FTB & State of California Tax Enforcement


We handle FTB wage garnishments, liens, and aggressive collection tactics from Franchise Tax Board, CDTFA, and EDD. State-level enforcement can be faster and more punishing than federal — and we’re built to manage both.


✅ Unfiled Tax Returns & Compliance Restoration


We regularly work with clients who haven’t filed in 3, 5, or even 10+ years. We get them back into compliance fast — without triggering unnecessary audits or enforcement.


✅ Wage Garnishment & Bank Levy Release


If your paycheck or bank account is being seized, we’ll move quickly to release it. Then we’ll build a permanent plan that protects your income.


✅ IRS & FTB Audit Defense


We represent clients in audits of all types — field audits, correspondence audits, or office exams. Our goal: minimize the damage, protect your rights, and end the audit on your terms.


✅ Penalty Abatement & Reasonable Cause Defense


We don’t just resolve the tax — we fight to reduce the penalties and interest that compound the problem. If there’s a reasonable cause, we’ll document it and defend it.


✅ Trust Fund Recovery Penalty & Payroll Tax Issues


We help business owners resolve 941 payroll tax problems and defend against Trust Fund Recovery Penalties. If you’ve fallen behind on payroll deposits, we’ll help you fix it — and contain the fallout.


We Work in Phases — Flat Fee, No Surprises

We don’t bill hourly, and we don’t do bait-and-switch retainers. Every case starts with a Phase 1 strategic review and quote.

Strategic Tax Planning & Preparation — For Select Clients

We don’t advertise tax prep services widely — but for the right clients, we offer advanced, CPA-led tax planning that goes beyond filing forms.


While our primary focus is resolving high-stakes IRS and California state tax problems, we also provide select tax preparation and planning services for individuals and businesses who value proactive strategy and expert-level execution.


These services are typically reserved for current or prior tax resolution clients, high-income individuals, and closely held businesses who want long-term guidance — not just tax prep once a year.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Do I need an attorney or a CPA for my matter?

    For most Orange County tax issues, including audits and IRS disputes, a CPA like Boulanger CPA, a Certified Tax Representation Consultant, offers specialized expertise. CPAs have the same practice rights as attorneys for most IRS matters. However, if there's potential criminal tax exposure, an attorney specializing in criminal tax law is essential. We can assess your specific Orange County case to determine the best approach.

  • How can Boulanger CPA help me with my IRS Problem?

    Boulanger CPA, serving Orange County, CA, provides expert IRS problem resolution, including audit representation, tax debt negotiation, and penalty abatement. As a Certified Tax Representation Consultant, we specialize in solving these complex tax issues. We leverage our deep knowledge of IRS regulations to protect your rights and find effective solutions for Orange County taxpayers.

  • Is it important to find someone local to help me with my taxes?

    When Orange County clients say, "I want someone local," it often means they desire a CPA who understands the unique California and Orange County tax issues. Boulanger CPA, serving Orange County, possesses deep expertise in California tax regulations, ensuring personalized and accurate service. While some appreciate face-to-face meetings, we've found that our secure, cloud-based service delivery model allows us to provide even more attentive and responsive support to our Orange County clients throughout the year. This approach ensures you receive consistent, expert guidance, tailored to your specific needs within the Orange County community.

  • Is there a meaningful difference between a CPA and an attorney in solving tax problems?

    Yes. While both can help, Orange County CPAs like Boulanger CPA specialize in tax law application and compliance, making them ideal for audits and filing accuracy. Importantly, CPAs are nationally recognized tax practitioners. They hold the same rights as attorneys to represent taxpayers throughout all administrative levels of the IRS. This means we can advocate for you during audits, appeals, and other IRS interactions. Attorneys focus on legal representation, often needed for complex tax litigation.

  • Can I drop my files off at your office?

    For optimal efficiency and to provide our Orange County, CA clients with the highest level of security for their tax preparation, we ask that all documents be uploaded to our secure client portal.
