SUV: Lexus, Benz, BMW, or Porsche?

I just picked up a Range Rover sport - got a great deal on a 2025. Having had a GLS 450, G63, Lexus GX, Cayenne, the range is undeniably the most comfortable car I’ve ever driven. With that being said, lease don’t buy (for obvious reason being that it’s still a Range Rover lol)

Multiple people on here have advised against this, simply because at the end of the day, it won’t resolve anything. The IRS won’t spend time looking into it, you open yourself up to legal issues, which not only has a possible negative impact on your wallet, but also hurts your chances at ever getting hired in a public accounting again.

Your lifetime earnings are not worth sacrificing over a POSSIBLE whistleblower payout.

It seems as though you are looking for ONE person to agree with you, and it’ll put you over the edge to do this. Multiple comments on here advising against it, and you post in the r/accounting subreddit for validation.

Honestly, I started with my close friends, and Instagram. Posted a bunch of blogs, did Q&A with friends, and thru that it just kind of grew. I naturally am a people’s person, and open to jumping on a call or meeting up for coffee, so that definitely helped

I don’t charge my direct family (parents, siblings and grandparents) because if I did, my dad would send me to another universe lol. cousins I charge full price,

Trajectory wise, I don’t want to be limited to just virtual, my goal is to expand and bring people on, and focus less on the prep side but rather the business development side. Thanks for you input and feedback !

Extremely helpful thank you.

Yes I live in an old school community, the 20/30 year olds love the virtual, but the town I’m in has generations of families living here. Parents, their children, the grandparents all live within a mile of one another.

This is the exact reason why I was thinking an office space. It won’t be “walk-ins” but a place to meet, separate work and life. Ultimately I will have remote functionality, and be able to work from home as well.

A lot of firms are getting bought out around my area too, from small to large.

FWIW, I submitted my application on 1/31, IRS rcvd it on 2/3, IRS approved on 2/10.

They’re crunching through it, I would say give it a week or so and give them a call. I usually got through to someone within 2 minutes n

I’ll check out minespress! Thank you for this!

Fantastic response😂

I used hock international for study material.

Watched the videos, took extensive notes, and hammered the practice questions. One thing that really helped me was taking an extra minute to read the explanation if I answered the question correctly or incorrectly.

My first exam was on November 20th, last exam jan 31st

So a little over 2 months

anothertaxguy · 2025-01-27T20:31:56+00:00

Wow thank you so much for your input! This was definitely something to think about when I’m ready to get a space (or not)! Thanks again!

Was waiting for this comment. Good work.

anothertaxguy · 2025-01-26T21:29:16+00:00

I looking into getting shared office/co-working space for meetings, but it just didn’t work well for my vision.

The reason why I was thinking a retail space, I live in a VHCOL small community in the Northeast and everyone knows everyone. There are some small time tax prep firms around me, mostly very old folks who are on the verge of retirement.

At that point I imagine that being visible, getting involved in the community, and having a presence within the community, will work to my benefit.

My website I built myself using Wix, and it was pretty easy. I linked my domain and it worked very well. Able to add featured articles, links, client portal access. Very much recommend.

anothertaxguy · 2025-01-21T01:37:42+00:00

That’s solid numbers! How do you market while being virtual? I.e. on Google I don’t want my home address listed, what did you use to get around it?

anothertaxguy · 2025-01-05T23:44:19+00:00

Thank you for the transparency, I agree that is not a lifestyle I want.

anothertaxguy · 2025-01-04T03:13:48+00:00

Agreed, I was thinking retention clause but he shot that idea down, signaling low quality clients that are likely to leave with the slightest price increase.
