The Phoenix is at the heart of our brand for a reason. During our years inside the IRS, we watched countless businesses with great ideas collapse—not because they lacked talent, but because they started on the wrong foot with compliance, bookkeeping, or tax planning. Once penalties, interest, or back taxes piled up, many simply couldn’t recover. That experience is what pushed us to move to the other side of the desk—to stop enforcing the tax code and start helping taxpayers navigate it. Ascension Tax Solutions was built to give individuals and businesses the chance to rise stronger. Like the Phoenix, our mission is to help you rebuild, grow, and elevate your financial future—whether you’re launching a new venture, recovering from IRS issues, or taking your tax strategy to the next level. We help you build the right foundation so you can grow, thrive, and ascend with confidence.
The Phoenix in our brand symbolizes that mission. During our years inside the IRS, we saw many people and businesses with real potential struggle—not because they lacked ability, but because they didn’t start with the right tax foundation. Penalties, interest, and compliance issues often pushed them down before they ever had a chance to rise. That experience is what led us to move to the other side of the desk and support taxpayers directly. Like the Phoenix, our purpose is to help you build—or rebuild—strengthen, and elevate your financial future so you can grow, thrive, and ascend with confidence.
