Dear tax advisor,
My name is Renate Rademacher and I have an urgent question regarding my upcoming tax audit. I have been running a small business for several years and recently found out that the tax office will be conducting an audit of my tax records. I am very worried because I am not sure if my records are all correct and if I may have made mistakes.
I am wondering if a tax advisor can help me prepare for the tax audit. Can a tax advisor assist me in reviewing my documents and ensuring that everything is in order? Can he also help me prepare for possible questions from the auditors and accompany me during the audit?
I am concerned that I may not be able to meet the requirements of the tax audit on my own and that I may face high fines or penalties if errors are discovered. I want to make sure that I do everything correctly and that my business does not suffer any financial losses.
Can you please tell me if a tax advisor can also help with a tax audit and what specific services he would offer in this case? I would be very grateful for your support and advice in this matter.
Sincerely,
Renate Rademacher
