Patrick Cox Tax Masters Founder and President
There are many who question moves like Mr. Cox made to go out on his own. He was gainfully employed as a VP with a company that was widely respected and commanded the salary and benefits that go along with a vice presidency in a financially strong firm. But entrepreneurs have an itch to be out on the edge, discovering new ways to do things and finding sound solutions to fix serious problems.
Founding Tax Masters
Patrick Cox has owned several successful businesses over the years including Cox & Associates, an accounting firm he has since sold. Mr. Cox founded Tax Masters because he enjoyed the challenge of representing clients with IRS problems and realized there was a particularly large market for IRS representation services. He saw a way to provide relief to taxpayers who were in serious trouble and considerable pain due to aggressive collections activities used by the IRS. Since starting Tax Masters, Patrick Cox has worked at perfecting and tweaking the operation to create a full-service tax representation firm that provides consistent, complete services for each and every customer.
A success in every sense of the word, Mr. Cox continues to serve as President of Tax Masters. He is heavily involved in the day-to-day operations of the firm, serves as the spokesperson for the company in television commercials, and maintains a blog about tax representation and avoiding IRS tax problems.

As Mr. Cox has stated, “I love contributing to something that makes people better in some way. When you give kids the chance to learn and grow through outdoor activities, they see a side of life too many people never get to experience.”
