Virtual Managed Solutions Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 We also offer Prometric testing right in the office - Maybe I should look into becoming an EA more extensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxguy057 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Well, passed the third portion today (in about 45 minutes, the prometric gal was impressed though they probably just fake being impressed if you don't take very long. Hey, get your mind out of the gutter!) Now just to send in my $125 and wait. Very Good Dav! ur my inspiration now!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daune/CA Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Apparently i was sleep in mgkt class! lol! I have done flyers around town so we'll see what comes of it. I do offer mobile service where i'll go to client or meet at a starbucks or panera's so maybe that will be a niche i'll fill. most new clients come from referals, but just wanted to know if anyone had something they do different to approach the general public more... One of the ways I used was to be a speaker about taxes for groups, ie Lions Clubs, Rotary, Optimist Clubs, etc. and church groups. I usually did this after the new tax law training was provided by IRS or EAs. Take the info learned there and present it to local groups. Usually developed some tax clients from this, not always that season but after a couple of times speaking for them. And they appreciate having someone that can provide a program for their members. Just a thought that worked for me as an EA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not have to be an EA to provide a tax class program for civic and church groups. Your knowledge of the subject is all that is required.

David1980 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Very Good Dav! ur my inspiration now!!! Thanks to all the grats. For sure, if I can pass it anyone can. (Just get a study book, read it, understand it, do the questions, and review weak areas from the questions.) For the last test I spent 1 day reading 6 chapters of the "wise guys" book and did about 2 hours of the flash cards that you get with that. The trick is finding the time. Right now there is no time. Come April it's time for vacation. After that there's procrastination. That ends in around October, at which point you're trying to catch up with all the new tax law changes.
