About North Phoenix Tax Relief

Founded by Krish Perinkulam

I began my career with national tax-preparation firms such as H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt, where the emphasis was on high-volume return processing and rapid client turnover. That approach conflicted with my commitment to thorough, client-focused service.

After honing my expertise, I founded my own practice to provide personalized, comprehensive tax guidance—taking the time to understand each client’s unique circumstances and deliver tailored, compliant strategies that promote long-term financial stability.

PK (Short for Krish Perinkulam)

My practice provides personalized representation for complex and unique tax matters. Because no two tax situations are alike, each case is evaluated individually and solutions are tailored to the client’s circumstances. My practice frequently handles cross‑border U.S.–Canada filings and routinely prepares both U.S. and Canadian tax returns. See Practice Areas for a full list of services. Take a look at my Practice Areas as well.

Krish took time to understand our situation and provide helpful insights. He was very detail oriented and thorough. He always replied in a timely manner to our many questions.

Krish was easy to contact timely in his response, which actually seems to be extraordinary these days! He was clear in his request of information, professional, and amazingly focused and quick, resolving my feelings of guilt and unease about not filing taxes for four years and resolving them in like two days I personally had a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend him. He’s the best tax professional I have worked with.
Brian B.
I was referred to Krish by my other tax agent from Jackson Hewitt. I needed my problem solved in a week and he got it done in just over a day. Very friendly, knowledgeable, quick and efficient. Would recommend to anyone!
Sage D.
I was an accountant/CPA for many years but had a special tax NOL carryback I did not feel comfortable with to process on my own. It was a very unusual situation, and an experienced tax attorney said... Do Not Do The Return Yourself It Is Complicated. Krish did an excellent job of completing the required forms and filing for the NOL carryback, and the forms were voluminous and not the usual forms.
