Ross Martin

Overview

I guide clients through IRS penalty relief pathways and global tax strategy with a focus on clarity, responsiveness, and tailored support. My work includes assisting clients in evaluating penalty abatement opportunities, responding to IRS notices, and navigating complex compliance challenges.

I also bring deep experience in international tax, supporting multinational businesses and individuals with cross-border planning, foreign asset reporting, and U.S. tax obligations. My approach helps clients manage risk and maintain compliance across jurisdictions.

Over the past four years, I’ve led CLA’s efforts in assisting clients with requesting and securing over $9 million in IRS penalty abatements through established relief pathways such as first-time abatement and reasonable cause. These efforts reflect CLA’s commitment to helping clients manage risk and maintain compliance.

At CLA, our promise to know you and help you drives how we work. Our CLA family is a team of professionals who collaborate to bring industry-focused capabilities to every engagement—whether we’re addressing domestic tax controversy or international compliance. Together, we create opportunities for our clients, our people, and our communities by delivering insights and support that help clients move forward with confidence.
