What is a Tax Service Bureau?
A service bureau is a unique business model within the tax preparation industry. They serve as distribution networks and service providers for tax software and technology companies. As an independent tax professional, you can expand your business by providing software sales, technical support, customer service, and bank onboarding to other tax professionals. You do not have to be in the tax business to become a service bureau. For example, suppose you have excellent customer service skills, sales, and marketing experience, are entrepreneur-driven, and are willing to work hard. In that case, you have what it takes to become a Service Bureau!

Maintain your Revenue
It’s no secret that tax preparation and filing work is strictly seasonal. As a result, most tax preparers will face a drop in income during the off-season, making up most of the year. Becoming a Service Bureau allows you to mitigate this decrease and generate revenue year-round.
Convert your Network into Clients
Depending on how long you have been in the tax industry, you most likely have developed some connections. The extensive network you have built up over the years can become your client base when you become a Tax Service Bureau.
Help Tax Preparers Grow
As a Service Bureau, you make more revenue when your clients do better. That makes up part of your motivation to help your network of tax offices grow and succeed. In addition, your experience in the tax prep field will provide you with the tools to help other tax professionals grow and expand their tax businesses.
