The pandemic has changed the expectations of what work life is like and more and more people are realizing the power they have in creating their own futures by starting their own business.

Can you imagine being your own boss, working from home, setting your own hours? Do you like helping people and working with computers? If so, a tax preparation business may be a great career for you!

Here are a few things you should know to help you get started:

It’s easier and less expensive than you think

You don’t need an accounting background to be a tax preparer, you just need to know tax law. There are minimal startup costs associated with a tax preparation business and you can get started relatively quickly by investing in your tax-knowledge education and basic small-business needs, like a computer, office supplies and business cards. 

You can earn a lot of money with a home-based tax business

An experienced, independent tax professional can earn up to $100 per hour. As you become more established, and your business grows, your earnings potential is even greater. The best part is most of your money will be generated during the 3-month tax season. That means you have the rest of the year to concentrate on providing other services to your clients, or the freedom to spend time with family, travel, have fun with hobbies – whatever you want to do! As a small-business owner, you’ll be in control of how you spend your time.
