Welcome and Introduction

with Bill Brough


 


Become proficient in the planning and preparation of both individual and business returns.  As a certified Professional Tax Preparer™ you’ve been trained and tested to provide the quality services expected from a tax preparer. What better service to complement accounting than tax preparation and planning? By mastering this one skill you can increase your income by approximately $100+ per hour.

 Line by line, the Universal Accounting®’s Professional Tax Preparer™ program will teach you how to complete individual and business returns so that you can either prepare taxes on the side or start your own tax business full-time. Many tax preparers make more money in the months leading up to the April 15 tax deadline than many make all year long! Every company, large or small, and all its employees, are required to file taxes. That means tax preparation skills will always be in demand.
