Every Module
Solves A Pain Point.

You already know how to prepare returns. Every module below installs a system your firm probably does not have yet — team, marketing, automation, tax-resolution offer, pricing, calendar. Nothing was invented for this course. Everything is drawn from the firm Cortney still runs.

Audit your current firm. Identify the biggest gap. Build a 90-day systems roadmap for what to install first, second and third — so you are not trying to fix everything at once.

  • Firm audit — what is actually working vs. what is not
  • Your 90-day systems installation roadmap
  • The mindset shift from technician to firm owner
  • Priorities: what to install before this next season

Audit what you already have — LLC, EIN, banking, insurance, record-keeping — and fix what is broken. If you are still missing pieces, walk through setup step by step.

  • LLC / S-Corp audit — is your structure right for the firm you want?
  • EIN, banking & compliant record-keeping cleanup
  • E&O insurance for the operating firm
  • Fix anything a bad mentor set up wrong

PTIN, EFIN and state-specific requirements — plus the data security and IRS compliance frameworks that keep a scaling firm out of trouble.

  • PTIN, EFIN & state licensing audit
  • Data security — what the IRS actually requires now
  • Client file storage & retention policy
  • Compliance calendar so nothing lapses mid-season

Stop running on referrals only. Install the organic + paid marketing engine that actually fills your season, and reprice your services to stop the chronic undercharging.

  • Organic content engine — the exact posting rhythm
  • Paid marketing frameworks that convert for tax firms
  • Pricing overhaul — new tiers, new positioning
  • Retention loop: rebook, referral, review

Build the tax-resolution offer most preparers never launch — it is the highest-margin lane in the industry. Plus, optimize your professional software so returns move faster.

  • Tax resolution offer — scripts, positioning, pricing
  • OIC, installment agreements, penalty abatement basics
  • Software optimization — templates, macros, batch processing
  • Live client return end-to-end at production speed

The heart of the Accelerator: SOPs, workflow automation, quality control, and the team you have to build before your season doubles. This is the section that stops you being the bottleneck.

  • Complete SOP library — every template we run inside the firm
  • Client intake, doc collection, e-sign & delivery automation
  • Team recruiting, training & delegation frameworks
  • Quality control at every stage of the return

The full blueprint — the exact 16-week season calendar, the income formula, the client-volume targets, and the off-season rhythm that makes the whole model sustainable.

  • The exact 16-week season calendar
  • The income formula — clients × price × capacity × team
  • The scaling path from six-figure to multi-six-figure firm
  • Designing the off-season so your firm compounds without you
