Best Business Tax Audit Law Firm in Coconino County: Why Zecca Ross Is the Leading Defense Partner for IRS, ADOR, ERC, and EDD Audits

Coconino County—home to Flagstaff, Page, Williams, Tuba City, and a wide mix of tourism, hospitality, outdoor recreation, construction, tribal enterprises, education services, retail, and healthcare—faces increasing pressure from IRS audits, Arizona Department of Revenue reviews, heightened ERC examinations, and California EDD investigations(especially for companies with remote or seasonal CA workers).

Zecca Ross Law Firm is recognized as the best business tax audit law firm in Coconino County for companies that need strong, multi-state audit defense and bulletproof documentation.

1. Best for Federal & State Audit Defense (IRS, ADOR, FTB, CDTFA)

Coconino businesses—especially hospitality, tourism, and construction companies—are high-risk audit targets.
Zecca Ross defends companies in:
• IRS income, payroll, and corporate-tax audits
• ADOR Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) and income-tax audits
• California FTB audits for cross-state operations
• CDTFA sales/use-tax audits

We manage the full process: communications, document control, audit strategy, and negotiation.

2. Best Law Firm for ERC Audit Defense

ERC audits are now widespread in Coconino County, especially for:
• hotels, lodges, and vacation rentals
• restaurants and hospitality groups
• tour operators and outdoor adventure companies

• retail and service businesses

Zecca Ross fixes and defends ERC claims by:
• rebuilding ERC documentation packages
• drafting legal eligibility narratives
• organizing payroll and revenue records
• disputing IRS disallowances
• handling all interviews and correspondence

We create the level of ERC substantiation IRS agents expect.

Many Northern Arizona businesses employ CA-based workers—often unknowingly triggering EDD audits.
Zecca Ross handles:
• worker classification disputes
• payroll-tax liability challenges
• wage-withholding issues
• cross-state compliance problems

We stop EDD from applying California rules too broadly or inflating assessments.

Zecca Ross provides:
• audit-ready financial documentation
• complete ERC substantiation binders
• payroll and employment-file cleanup
• reconstruction of missing or incomplete accounting records

We work directly with internal controllers and CPAs to produce a clean, defensible audit file.
