Transaction adds a dedicated tax resolution practice to Current’s national partnership of accounting and advisory firms
NEWPORT BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Encore AMC Partners today announced that it served as exclusive financial advisor to Ovation Tax Group LLC (“Ovation Tax Group” or “Ovation”), a Northridge, California-based tax resolution firm, in its acquisition by Current, a national partnership of premier accounting and advisory firms. The transaction closed on October 5, 2026.
Founded in 2021 by Matt Levy, a 25-year veteran of the tax resolution industry, Ovation Tax Group represents individuals and small businesses facing collection action by the IRS and state taxing authorities. Its enrolled agents, tax attorneys and case teams negotiate offers in compromise, installment agreements, penalty abatements and currently not collectible status, and work to release liens, bank levies and wage garnishments. The firm serves clients nationwide from offices in Northridge, California and Ronkonkoma, New York, and has eliminated more than $100 million in taxes owed to the IRS and state taxing authorities on behalf of its clients. Ovation also uses AI tools developed in house to qualify leads, support its sales team and handle routine client service alongside its professional staff.
“We are honored to have served as Ovation Tax Group’s exclusive financial advisor,” said Othon Herrera, Managing Partner of Encore AMC Partners. “Greg, Matt and their partners built a firm that solves serious problems for taxpayers under pressure from the IRS, and they were determined to find a partner who would strengthen that work. Current proved to be that partner, and this transaction reflects the value the Ovation team has created.”
Ovation’s leadership team, led by Chief Executive Officer Greg Davis, will continue to run the business under the Ovation Tax Group brand, and the firm’s partners remain invested in it alongside Current.
“We went into this process looking for a partner that would back the way we serve taxpayers,” said Greg Davis, CEO of Ovation Tax Group. “Current believes, as we do, that technology and disciplined execution can bring expert tax representation to many more people. Our team will keep doing what it does well, now with a national platform behind it.”
“I started Ovation to give taxpayers a real defender when the IRS comes calling,” said Matt Levy, Founder of Ovation Tax Group. “Joining Current secures that mission for the long term and gives our people room to grow.”
