Brent is knowledgeable and effective in the practice area of state and local tax consulting. His years of experience serve his clients well.

Brent was extremely helpful to our company with sales and use tax assistance. I would highly recommend Brent’s services to anyone requiring assistance in those areas.

I would recommend Brent Watson as a reliable, principled professional with integrity and strong work ethic. Brent utilizes these attributes to provide the best client service result possible.

I have known Brent professionally for the past two years. Brent and his team were contracted by the business I represent to ensure timely and accurate sales tax reporting, payment and compliance. Brent’s extensive knowledge, experience, and sound administrative skills were the perfect match for the very complex multiple legal entity businesses where I am employed. Brent ensured our needs were swiftly and completely met. Most businesses overlook the very specific tax accounting knowledge required to ensure their tax risk in minimized or they cannot afford a full-time employee with these skills. I am confident Brent can address your needs in this very much needed area of accounting.

Brent was able to identify significant over-payments of Texas sales tax on drilling and workover procedures and managed the refund process from start to finish. He went the extra mile to obtain the refund for us. Fair, head down and hard working is how I would describe him.

Brent and I worked together with several manufacturing firms on tax-related and state business incentives. Brent is very knowledgeable in tax-related matters and also on State Incentives such as the Oklahoma Quality Jobs program, Investment/New Jobs tax credits as well as sales tax issues and the manufacturing sales tax exemption. I am pleased to recommend Brent.

Brent has vast knowledge in State and Local Tax rules. When I worked at Panther Energy, Brent routinely found errors in vendor invoicing on work performed in Texas and work performed by Texas vendors. He would also assist in collecting funds and always more than paid for his service fees. I would work with Brent again and would recommend him to anyone in my network.

Brent was my supervisor for about 5 years while he was Manager of the State and Local Tax Department at Tyson Foods. His knowledge of multistate sales and use tax is unparalleled to anyone I’ve met or worked with since. He is a man of integrity and has consistently provided me with wise counsel in both professional and personal areas. Though his field is predominately tax related, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brent for any accounting needs.

Brent helped us successfully navigate our first sales tax audit in over 10 years.  While I have past experience in Arkansas sales tax audits, Brent was amazing support for some issues that I’d never dealt with. He was able to provide great recommendations regarding case law in order to determine what precedents had already been set in the state so we didn’t waste our time fighting unnecessary issues. He also gave me some great insight into areas of the audit to carefully examine in order to reduce our overall liability. Not only was Brent knowledgeable, but he was also very prompt on response time and easy to work with! Overall, I highly recommend his services.

Doing business in several states gets complicated. Brent has been a great asset to us in navigating through sales tax issues and monitoring our vendors. I wouldn’t use anyone else.

While I was employed at Panther Energy Company, Brent was instrumental in assisting Panther with Sales and Use Tax and saved Panther untold fines, and dollars by finding errors and omissions.

In this sales/use tax issue, Brent was thoroughly up to date on the laws and regs. He was able to guide us to the correct solution and even provide additional help on a nonrelated issue. Thanks.
