Key Risks & Mitigations
Model revenue by service tier (basic, itemized, business, advisory) and seasonality (Jan–Apr peak; May–Dec off-season).
Simple breakeven: Monthly fixed costs ÷ (Average price per return − Variable cost per return) = returns needed per month.
Standardize secure intake (portal/app), appointment windows, and document checklists. Add virtual reviews and after-hours slots to lift utilization without extra rent.
CPA/EA credentials, published pricing, clear engagement letters, and fast e-file acknowledgments all improve conversion and retention.
Each year, the IRS processes well over a hundred million individual returns, with the overwhelming majority submitted electronically. Recent filing-season data show e-file volumes and average refund amounts tracking near or above prior-year levels, underscoring ongoing demand for professional help as rules evolve. Meanwhile, the U.S. small-business base remains large—sustaining year-round work for preparers handling entity filings, quarterly estimates, and compliance. For founders, this translates into predictable seasonal peaks (Jan–Apr), strong referral potential with local lenders/bookkeepers, and recurring off-season revenue from advisory, cleanup, and entity services.
