The real talk

Read this if you've said any of these out loud.

"I bought software and got a login."

Then February hit, you had a reject you'd never seen, and support was a ticket number. Nobody picked up. That is not how this works when someone is actually invested in your season.

"I have a PTIN I've never used."

You did the work to get credentialed and then froze because nobody told you what the first return actually looks like. The credential was never the problem.

"Last season was really rough."

You filed, got paid late, weren't sure your documentation would hold up, and swore you'd do it differently. You were right — it should be different.

"I'm the only one who knows anything."

You brought people on and now you're their software desk, their mentor, and their compliance review — alone. That's a structure problem, not a people problem.

The math

What a real season
actually brings in.

A focused tax preparer charging market rates doesn't need to file hundreds of returns to build something real. Here's what the numbers actually look like.

Personal returns

Individual · W-2 clients · starting rate

Starting at $500

Self-employed / Itemized returns

Schedule C · itemized deductions · higher complexity

Starting at $1,000

Corporate returns

Business entities · S-Corps · LLCs

Starting at $1,500

Returns filed in a first season

Realistic for a focused preparer with a mixed book

25 – 50 clients

Average fee across a mixed client book

Personal + self-employed + corporate combined

~$1,000 per return

First season — 25 clients × $1,000 avg

Mixed book · personal, self-employed & corporate

$25,000 – $50,000+

These are not projections. They are the math on market rates and realistic client counts. What moves that number is training, systems, and someone who actually stays in it with you through the season. That is what the call is about.

Hear exactly how it works

What comes with this

A mentor.
Not a vendor.

Software is easy to buy. Here is what The Authentic Tax Collective actually provides.

Someone who files

29 years and 5,300+ returns. Not a coach who used to do this — actively in the software, this season, alongside you.

Answers in February

Reject codes, due diligence, a return you're unsure about. A person picks up — not a ticket number.

Your team trained too

EROs and their teams mentored together. Bring your people and train them to one standard, not four different ones.

Every number disclosed

Tiers, splits, bonuses, commissions, the full fee schedule — on the table before you decide, not discovered mid-season.

A clear next step

Training, credentialing, your first clients — in the right order. No guessing what comes after this call.

This call is for you if

You're done
figuring it out alone.

You're a tax pro with a PTIN or EFIN who wants more clients, better systems, or a real team behind you

You had a rough season and need to know what a structured, supported operation looks like

You're new to the tax industry and want the honest conversation before you commit to anything

You're an ERO or Service Bureau owner looking for better software and a real mentorship structure

You want to build a team and know you need training infrastructure before you can scale

You're tired of paying for software with no support and no one who picks up the phone in February

Who's Behind This

Built from the ground up.
Still building.

Nearly three decades in the tax industry. What you'll hear on this call isn't theory. It's what actually works, season after season, with real clients and real returns.

I mentor EROs and their teams. Nobody gets handed a login and left alone in February — not on my watch.

"Software is easy to buy. A mentor is not. Come find out what it looks like when someone is actually in it with you."
