ATO is devoted to making it affordable and easy for anyone to start a tax prep business. Our entry fees are in the hundreds of dollars, our contract is simple, and it does not contain a non compete. We are not concerned with experience, education, credit, or background. We are seeking individuals who desire to start a tax office, at home or in a retail location, and are willing to work hard.

Why start a tax preparation business?

The tax business is one of the lowest-cost highest-return service businesses. You can operate a tax preparation service with little more than a computer, internet connection, and a telephone. Better still, is the built-in, recession-proof, demand. Everyone must file. In 2010, over 131 million people filed an income tax return and 61% of those used a paid preparer. That means the target market is at least 87 Million people! In good times or bad, tax returns will be filed and taxpayers will pay to have others prepare the returns. Money will be made in the tax preparation business. The only question is will you make any?
