Two paths, one decision. Build a tax business under your own EFIN, or prepare returns under ours and earn on every file. We seat 40 people a year, total — this is a bench we can actually train and stand behind, not a funnel.

WHY SO FEW

WHY SO FEW

We cap seats on purpose.

Every return prepared under our EFIN carries our name and our compliance standing. Every ERO we set up carries our training and our reputation. We can properly train, support, and stand behind exactly 40 people a year — not one more.

If that means you wait for the next cycle, that's the standard working the way it's supposed to.

REAL QUESTIONS

Before you apply.

Why do you only take 40 people a year? +
Every ERO we set up and every PTIN partner preparing under our EFIN reflects directly on our compliance standing and reputation. We hold ourselves to properly training and supporting each person—that's only realistic at a capped number, not an open funnel.
What if both paths are full for the year? +
Apply anyway. We keep a waitlist and reach out as seats open or the next enrollment cycle begins—we'd rather you wait for a real seat than get rushed through a crowded one.
Can I start as a PTIN partner and get my own EFIN later? +
Yes—plenty of our strongest EROs started preparing under our EFIN first. When you're ready to go independent, we'll help you make that move.
Do I need experience to apply for either path? +
No, but you do need to be serious. Both paths require an application and a short interview so we can place you correctly and confirm the standard fits—that protects you as much as it protects us.
What's the actual cost to get my own EFIN? +
It depends on the software you choose and the systems support you want alongside it. Apply and we'll walk you through the real numbers for your situation before you commit to anything.
