What working as a tax preparer looks like

Before you read the plans, see what the work is and what a certified preparer does during season.

The path

From zero to certified preparer, in four steps

More than 70% of our graduates had never prepared a return before starting. The program begins with the fundamentals.

1 You start the same day you enroll Immediate access +

Enrolling opens your account on the continuing education platform of an IRS-approved provider. All the recorded material is there: federal tax law, ethical principles, and the cases you will actually see. You do not wait for the next cycle to begin.

12 hours of federal law and ethics
Downloadable material
Practical exercises

2 You review live with a senior preparer 10 classes · 4 weeks +

When your cohort opens you join the live classes: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, two hours each. That is where the questions that come up when you actually sit down to file get answered, not textbook ones. You practice on professional Drake software with real cases.

The platform reports your continuing education hours. You complete the tax year update module and the exam, and we walk you step by step through creating your account, applying for your PTIN, and obtaining the AFSP Record of Completion.

6 hours of updates

4 You get your first clients And you are not alone +

You leave with material to promote yourself: business card, services brochure, social media content, and sales coaching. And you join the graduate community, with a direct channel for the technical questions of your first season.

After the course

Business in a Box: the business set up, not just the diploma

Getting certified is half of it. The other half is having something to work with: the systems, the brand, the phone, the email, and someone alongside you when your first difficult client arrives. That is what we hand you.

Operating tools

Something to work with from your first client, without buying licenses yourself.

REACHAPP for quoting and billing
Drake and QuickBooks
G Suite and professional email

Commercial tools

You promote yourself as a tax advisor backed by a brand that already exists.

Use of the Reachers brand
Brochure and social content
Sales coaching

Continuous learning

The business does not end at personal taxes: it extends to everything a small business needs.

Business taxes
Company formation
Bookkeeping, payroll, and compliance

The commission structure is set according to the level of support you need as an affiliated professional. We review it with you before signing.

Graduates

They did it before you

“It was exactly what I was looking for. I felt supported through the entire tax season. Beyond the live classes, having one-on-one guidance with my first clients was excellent.”

SB Sonia Benítez Graduate · affiliated professional in California

“It was wonderful to see my clients happy and then referring more clients to me. I am so glad I got 83 clients in my first season!”

AC Adria Caballero Graduate · 83 clients in her first season

“The platform is very interactive and the live classes with Óscar were very instructive. I feel I reached my goal of mastering personal and small business taxes.”

What people ask before enrolling

If you still have a question, book fifteen minutes and we will answer it.

Do I need prior experience with taxes?+

No. The program starts from the fundamentals and scales to complex cases. More than 70% of our graduates had never prepared a return before enrolling.

How long does the certification take?+

First you take 12 hours of self-study on the platform: federal tax law and ethical principles. Then you join the 10 live classes of the cohort you choose, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for four weeks. At the end you complete the review module with 6 hours of updates for the coming tax year, plus the exam.

Is the certificate valid with the IRS?+

Yes. The 18 hours of continuing education are delivered by an IRS-approved provider we work with, and it is that provider who reports your hours to the IRS under your PTIN. Reachers adds the live classes in Spanish, the guidance, and the starter kit. The PTIN and the AFSP Record of Completion are issued by the IRS itself once you meet its requirements.

Can I pay in installments?+

Yes. You can pay in a single payment or in three interest-free installments by card. If you need another option, we review it on your enrollment call.

What if I enroll and cannot continue?+

You have a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. After that period you can freeze your membership and resume in the next cohort at no additional cost.

Is the course in English and Spanish?+

The curriculum, the exams, and support are in both languages. The live classes are taught in Spanish, with supporting material in English because that is how you will encounter it in practice.

Can I work from outside the United States?+

Yes. The work is fully remote. Our graduates serve clients in the United States from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, among other countries.

How is this different from just buying the self-paced course?+

The self-paced course gives you the material and the hours, nothing more. The full certification adds live classes with a senior preparer, practice on professional software, guidance through the PTIN, and the tools to get clients. If you only need the hours, the self-study catalog works and costs considerably less.
