About the firm
Dr. Dion Gouws, CPA is a solo CPA practice licensed in California (#[CA LICENSE #]) and Washington (#[WA LICENSE #]), working exclusively on IRS Offers in Compromise and the representation that surrounds them. The practice is deliberately narrow: one procedure, done carefully, at volume enough to know its edge cases.
How we practice
Everything client-related runs through an encrypted portal with access logging — who viewed what, when. Financial data is encrypted at rest and in transit; documents move by portal upload, never email. Fees are hourly under written engagement. Offer calculations are shown line by line before anything is signed, and every generated document carries the preparer's name, PTIN, and the disclosure that no IRS acceptance is guaranteed.
Professional standards
The practice operates under Treasury Circular 230, AICPA professional standards, and the state boards of accountancy of California and Washington. We do not advertise outcomes, publish client identities, or accept engagements where the numbers show an offer would not serve the client.
A staff assistant (non-licensed) supports document collection and scheduling. Offer approval, representative signatures, and submission decisions are made only by the CPA.
