Three Business-Building Ideas for New Tax Preparers
Three Tips for New Tax Preparers to Start Getting Clients
Now that we have students graduating from our online tax course at ProntoTaxClass.com, we have started to encounter the "Now what?" question from our recently-minted professional tax preparers.

Therefore, this "Now what?" question is very important to us, to try to help our Pronto Tax Class Graduates find a profitable place in the tax business. In reality, though, it is YOU who will need to take action to get your first 100, 500, and then 1,000 tax clients. So, what concrete actions can a new tax preparer take to start acquiring clients?

Pronto Tax Class and Value for the Price
We had a student call in on our Pronto Tax Class Sales Hotline today (310) 422 - 0795 and she pointed out that our online tax course is way cheaper than the competition and we should raise the price.
