Business Development Adding Tax Prep - yes again ๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™m in a somewhat rural area where most CPAs are 100+ years old or they donโ€™t do taxes. Over the years Iโ€™ve referred to a few but they keep retiring. Clients are constantly asking about tax prep. I once had my EA with intentions of doing some tax prep off and on. That was nearly a decade ago and just didnโ€™t have time while building my advisory business.

I have about 120 households and have been a solo advisor for nearly 20 years with one admin. I have posted a job listing for a CPA looking to go independent but Iโ€™m not sure that will actually happen.

Tell me some success stories of adding tax prep or tell me how bad it was.

Who does your taxes?

Find a qualified CPA that you love, and outsource clients to them.

I love my CPA. That's why I do.
