Our Purpose

The JK Harris Mission:

“The JK Harris mission is to deliver financial and tax representation services with the highest levels of ethics, advocacy, and client satisfaction.”

Without trying to simplify matters, our mission statement is what we are about and is the purpose we exist – to help taxpayers who owe federal and/or state taxing authorities back taxes.

Our purpose is not to help those who try and cheat the system (see “Setting the record straight” tab on this blog). The IRS and most states have resolution plans available for taxpayers who had no intention in getting behind on their taxes, found themselves in a difficult situation because of a major setback in their lives (death in family, loss of job, etc.). These are the folks we are in business to help – have no doubt about that!

Our purpose is to provide the very best financial and tax representation services to our clients, while providing the highest levels of ethics and advocacy (see “Client Advocacy tab” on this blog). Our goal is to perform our services to our clients’ satisfaction.

We do this through hiring hard-working individuals who have a natural desire to perform at professional standards and who have personality profiles that suggest they want to help people who need assistance. Also, we hire employees who are motivated and excited to advocate on behalf of their clients.

Our purpose is to make clear to our customers’ the expectations we hold for both us and for them. We want to provide a solid work product backed by first-class customer service. And we want to get the information to the IRS or state taxing authorities in an acceptable timeframe so these organizations can make the very best decision for the taxpayer based on the information we provide.

Lastly, the assistance we provide them when our Licensed Taxpayer Representatives (Enrolled Agents, CPAs, and Attorneys) negotiate on their behalf directly with the IRS and/or state has got to be the best in the industry. We will not accept anything less than the best.

Our purpose is not to mislead anyone into doing anything outside of the guidelines set up by the IRS and state agencies. Our purpose is to clarify what those regulations are and what our customers need to do to help us help them.

In the end, our purpose for existing is to help our clients work out their tax problems in the most favorable way possible, following best practices, having ethical standards and believing our clients’ needs are job “Number One” at JK Harris.
