Each engagement is led directly by Rene Velazquez, CPA, supported by a team of accounting professionals trained at Florida International University and the University of Central Florida — two of Florida’s strongest accounting programs.

Our Tax Compliance group understands the ever-changing tax laws and regulations and assists clients in maintaining tax reporting obligations. Our professional staff is equipped with specialization in international taxation — in-bound and out-bound — and general taxation expertise all around.
Our professionals pursue varying continuing education courses to stay current in tax issues affecting their clients, including national and local tax seminars, so as to always be on top of the latest changes coming out of Washington DC.
Audits are specifically aligned with the client's business functions, but to truly understand the client we must go beyond just the financial. Our approach combines the technical, the practical, and the most sophisticated digital audit solutions in the conduct of each engagement — undertaken with detailed, agreed-upon expectations to which management and the engagement team are equally committed.
Our auditors and advisors understand not only the client's business but also the industry in which they operate. This deeper understanding affords us the ability and insight to go beyond the numbers and provide value-added suggestions — more than the typical management-letter recommendations — that help our clients achieve financial and operational success.
Axios has maintained AICPA Peer Review status for more than 10 consecutive years — most recently in 2025, with a Pass rating. Peer Review is an independent inspection of the firm's quality-control system and a sample of completed engagements, conducted by another CPA firm under AICPA standards. A Pass rating is confirmation that the processes, documentation, and engagement-level controls Axios applies to every audit, review, and compilation meet the same professional standards required of the largest accounting firms in the country.
AICPA Peer Reviewed Firm Most recent: 2025 · Pass ratingForensic accounting requires more than technical skill — it requires the ability to investigate, document, and explain financial facts in a way that withstands scrutiny. Axios is engaged by counsel, corporate stakeholders, and individuals to quantify damages, trace assets, and uncover fraud, and to present findings that are credible in deposition, mediation, and trial.
Every engagement is built on a documented analytical record. Schedules tie back to source documents, methodologies follow professional standards, and conclusions are stated in language a finder of fact can follow without an interpreter.
U.S. taxpayers with foreign accounts, foreign businesses, foreign trusts, or unreported foreign gifts face some of the steepest civil penalties in the Internal Revenue Code. A late or missing FBAR alone can carry a non-willful penalty per account per year, and willful violations are measured as a percentage of account balances. Form 5471, Form 3520, and Form 8938 each carry their own automatic penalty regimes — assessed before any tax is even owed.
For taxpayers whose non-compliance was non-willful, the IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures remain the most efficient path back into the system: three years of amended returns, six years of FBARs, and a non-willful certification — with the offshore penalty either reduced or eliminated. We have used these procedures repeatedly to bring U.S. residents and U.S. taxpayers abroad into full compliance without exposure to the harsher penalties of an examination.
The right approach depends on facts that need to be reviewed carefully before anything is filed. A conversation costs nothing; the wrong submission can cost a great deal.
A notice from the IRS or Florida Department of Revenue is rarely a conversation a client wants to have on their own. Once we file Form 2848 (Power of Attorney), correspondence is redirected to our office, calls from revenue officers come to us, and meetings with examiners are attended by the firm — not by the client. The client's role is to provide records and sign returns; ours is to present the facts, frame the legal position, and negotiate.
Engagements range from a single CP2000 notice answered in a week to multi-year examinations that move through audit, Appeals, and collection alternatives. The goal in every matter is the same: the lowest defensible liability, the cleanest record going forward, and a client who can return their attention to their business or their family.
