Optima Tax Relief reviews

1. OTR is one of the largest (if not the largest) tax resolution firms in the industry. This translates to a stable work environment where, unlike working for many other resolution firms, you aren't worried about whether the firm is going to shut down this year or the next. 2. At higher positions within the firm, management is very "hands off" in the sense that they are available if needed, but allow you to do your job without micromanaging. 3. The work hours are flexible. For example, there are some tax professionals that come in at 6 am and others that come in at 9-9:30. 4. Management has invested a lot of time in improving the client cycle and operations. This means that as a tax pro I'm able to spend a lot of more time actually working on cases and solving tax issues instead of chasing documents. 5. Pay is above industry average at the tax pro level and is, in part, based on productivity. If you come to work focused, you have the opportunity to make well over your stated salary. 6. There is a wealth of tax resolution knowledge to learn from and various opportunities to work within each type of resolution (Audit, OIC, RO, ACS). 7. Management works hard to create an uplifting culture. 8. Executives (CEO, SVPs/VPs, lead attorney) know staff on a first name basis and actually go out of their way to get to know staff at every level. 9. The firm is MORAL. Not once have I ever been asked to service a client in any way that violated IRC/regulations or my integrity. Ask around-- this isn't common in the tax resolution world. Management takes this so serious that SVPs often review prospective cases where fraud is/was an issue (e.g. during an audit) before accepting the client.

Interview process was a panel interview introducing you to the company and they give a realistic picture of the job requirements. Training is very thorough and they are go over A-Z on their process. I learned a ton of information and feel like I was given plenty of support to make it through training
