Service Bureau FAQ

What exactly is a Tax Service Bureau?

A Service Bureau provides comprehensive infrastructure for tax office owners, going far beyond standard software access to combine advanced technology, compliance systems, operational controls, professional training, and dedicated growth support.

Who is the Service Bureau model designed for?

This program is specifically tailored for existing tax office owners, EFIN holders, EROs, expanding multi-preparer offices, multi-office operators, and experienced preparers looking to successfully transition into independent ownership.

Are refund transfers and bank products guaranteed for approval?

No. Bank products are a formal program rather than a simple feature. Individual enrollment, pricing structures, compliance underwriting, and ultimate availability are exclusively controlled and decided by the third-party banking providers.

What training steps are required before our office can go live?

Access strictly follows competency. All participants must complete a thorough pre-live roadmap including software training, practice returns, tax due-diligence review, e-file diagnostics, and security acknowledgments before final activation approval.

How are platform technology access levels configured?

The right people receive the right access. Permissions are segmented into distinct operational tiers—Preparer Access, Office Administrator Access, ERO Controls, and Service Bureau Oversight—depending on office classification and compliance status.
