Recent Google reviews
Real comments from people who booked a consult and left with more clarity than they came in with.
“Do you just do taxes, or can you help with notices, debt and LLCs too?”
Can you help if I receive an IRS or state notice?
Yes. As an Enrolled Agent, Umair can read the notice, explain what it really means, and help you respond properly. We can also assist with payment plans and, where the law allows, penalty relief requests.
What if I’m behind on filing a few years of returns?
We regularly help delinquent filers catch up. We’ll prioritize which years to file first, gather information that’s missing, and create a plan so you’re compliant going forward.
Can you help me start an LLC or S-corp?
Yes — especially in Texas and Illinois. We walk through whether an LLC, S-corp, or staying as a sole proprietor makes sense, and then help with registrations and elections so the tax return matches the structure you actually have.
Do you offer bookkeeping or just tax preparation?
We offer both. Clean books make for cleaner tax returns and better planning. If your books are messy or behind, we can help you clean them up and keep them current.
Do you work with expats and non-US residents?
Yes. We regularly help clients living overseas, dual-status taxpayers, and nonresidents with U.S. filing obligations. We’ll help you avoid double taxation and make sure income is reported in the right place.
Can you help even if I already have a CPA or bookkeeper?
Absolutely. Many clients keep their current bookkeeper and bring us in for tax planning, second opinions, or IRS representation. We’re happy to collaborate with your existing team.
How do virtual meetings and document sharing work?
We can meet over secure video or phone, and you’ll upload documents through our encrypted portal. Many clients complete the entire process without ever needing to drive to the office.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Most weeks we have availability within a few days, and during busy season we reserve time for urgent questions and notices. Same-day appointments are often available — especially for IRS letters.

Umair is a federally licensed Enrolled Agent and the founder of The Tax Lyfe, a boutique tax firm based in Sugar Land, Texas. He focuses on helping Fort Bend County families, small-business owners, real-estate investors, and expats move from “just filing” to having a real tax strategy.
With deep experience in individual, business, and multi-state returns, Umair spends much of his time explaining IRS rules in plain English so clients can make confident decisions. From first-time filers and W-2 professionals to LLC/S-corp owners and delinquent filers catching up, his approach is the same: slow the conversation down, ask better questions, and protect the client.
Umair is an active member of the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce, the Texas Society of Enrolled Agents (TxSEA), the Louisiana Chapter of the National Association of Enrolled Agents (LAcEA), and the National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP). He appears in the IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers and the NAEA Expert Directory, which means you can independently verify his credentials before you ever book a consult.
