Tax Tiger

What Tax Tiger does

Tax Tiger, Inc. is a Sacramento, California-based tax resolution, accounting, and wealth management firm founded in 2002 by CEO Kathy Hill. The company specializes in representing individuals and small businesses facing IRS tax problems, delivering a portfolio of services that includes IRS tax resolution, bank levy release, wage garnishment release, audit representation, tax lien release, and back tax preparation. Service delivery is performed by a team of professional tax attorneys, CPAs, and Enrolled Agents, supported by proprietary internal software and operating procedures that are also licensed to franchise owners. As of the available data, Tax Tiger has saved clients over $120 million in back taxes, penalties, and interest across thousands of engagements.

The firm operates through a multi-channel distribution model: six direct offices across California (Sacramento headquarters, San Francisco Bay Area, Carlsbad/San Diego, Orange County), Colorado (Denver), and Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul), plus toll-free phone consultations and online intake forms serving clients nationwide, and a franchise program that allows third-party operators to open Tax Tiger-branded offices in additional territories. Marketing is conducted across organic search (Google, Bing), content (Tax Relief Blog), TrustPilot reviews, Facebook, traditional media (radio including Patriot Radio, television, Fox News mentions), and customer referrals. Geographic restrictions in 14 states define the currently excluded service territory.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees on case-by-case engagements, with a freemium front-end (free initial consultation) designed to convert prospects into paying clients. Tax Tiger does not charge for the initial consultation, after which case work is billed as professional services. The firm has been bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investment; founder/CEO Kathy Hill retains co-ownership, and the company has maintained BBB A+ accreditation for 17 consecutive years and membership in the National Association of Tax Resolution Companies (NATRC). Tax Tiger is also a co-founder (March 2011) of the Tax Problem Resolution Services Coalition (TPRSC), an industry body aimed at combating deceptive advertising by unscrupulous tax relief providers.
