Community Highlights: Meet Pierre Philantrope of Pierre Tax Group, LLC

Today we’d like to introduce you to Pierre Philantrope.

Hi Pierre, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I decided to start Pierre Tax Group after working over 20 years in the legal field for multiple firms conducting discovery phase reviews, quality control and assurance for high-profile mergers and acquisitions, class action lawsuits, government requests and litigation matters for both individuals and corporate clients. Concurrently, I started in the tax preparation industry during the tax filing season of 1995. My interest in law and taxation motivated me to pursue advanced knowledge in taxation.

In 2004, I enrolled at the University of Florida where I obtained a Master of Laws in Taxation from the University of Florida Levin College of Law with a concentration in International Taxation. Over the past years, I have met with many individuals and business owners who requested my assistance because of inadequate service obtained elsewhere. I frequently found myself assisting with their tax problems at no cost. In 2015, Pierre Tax Group was opened and has provided tax related services to individuals and business clients with a focus on tax planning and tax resolution.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
No, it has not been smooth. As you know, there are challenges in anything we pursue in life. The start of a business has many struggles. There are sleepless nights strategizing, learning to deal with the rejections and the dissuasion. There are still many challenges that we continue to face. However, with resilience and determination, these challenges were overcome.

We’ve been impressed with Pierre Tax Group, LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At Pierre Tax Group, we represent individuals and businesses nationwide. We listen to our clients, review clients’ IRS notices, and discuss a resolution to clients’ tax problems allowing them to get back their much needed sleep and get their life back on track. We are the experts who solve their tax problems expeditiously and affordably. We have completed many years representing individuals and businesses before the IRS and States’ taxing authorities. Our job is to make sure our clients will not need to speak to an IRS or state agent.

We have over 25 years of experience in the field of taxation. As Enrolled Agent (EA), we have unrestricted rights to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. We have successfully assisted taxpayers in audit cases before the Internal Revenue Service. We advise clients on diverse tax matters, including business formation, representing clients before the IRS, and preparing tax returns for individuals and small businesses.

In terms of credentials, as stated earlier, I obtained a Master of Laws in Taxation with a concentration in International Taxation from the University of Florida Levin College of Law. I am a Fellow of the National Tax Practice Institute. The National Tax Practice Institute (NTPI®) teaches Enrolled Agents, CPAs, and Tax Attorneys how to represent their clients. NTPI is a three-level program developed to sharpen the skills of enrolled practitioners at all stages of their careers. With each level of this program, participants build on their tax knowledge and expand their skills to gain the confidence necessary to successfully guide clients through the challenging maze of IRS codes, internal regulations, and agency structure. Further, Enrolled Agents (EAs) are known as America’s tax experts and hold the IRS’s highest credential. We are licensed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the IRS.

Pierre Tax Group, LLC is a member of the Miramar Pembroke Pines Regional Chamber of Commerce, Weston Chamber of Commerce, and other professional organizations including the NAEA (National Association of Enrolled Agents), NATP (National Association of Tax Professionals) and ASTPS (American Society of Tax Problems Solvers). In 2018, we were awarded the Pinnacle Award by the Miramar Pembroke Pines Regional Chamber of Commerce. Our company believes in being very involved in our community. We post weekly tax tips on our social media platforms to educate taxpayers and send weekly tax tips to our subscribers.

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
We would like to let the readers to know we offer complimentary initial consultations as well as remote services. We could assist potential clients with tax issues wherever they are located because, as enrolled agent (EA), we are licensed to represent clients from anywhere before the Internal Revenue Service. Finally, given that we are in the tax season, readers could save money and avoid headaches by reviewing their tax returns and asking questions before signing for filing.
