Tax preparation is a lucrative business. Consider that first-time preparers submit tax forms for 50 clients, charging an average of $150 each. They make, roughly, $7500 working the 45 days before April 15th, and that’s before they have had much time to build a solid clientele. For many people, this represents 3 months of salary. That’s an appealing career path for many individuals.
Whether you want to earn a significant amount of money on the side, start your own full-time tax practice, or complement your current accounting services with tax preparation, you can appreciate the value of comprehensive tax preparation training.
