Losing Clients & Client Retention

[@teacherandrew8202]

Hey, if you are still available for a question, I am interested to hear your advice: I am interested in becoming an Enrolled Agent in 2024 and going through the Fast Forward Academy EA course. Here is my situation: I am currently employed full time at Lowe's and part time at H&R Block as a Tax Preparer. I am also married, have a 3 year old and my wife is expecting our second this coming October. I am interested in starting my own tax and accounting business LLC, but since I have been working with H&R Block, I agreed to not prepare any taxes for 2 years (after quitting H&R Block) as a self employed preparer or working through a competitor like Intuit. Here is my question: Do you think it is more worth it to start my own business and stay away from H&R Block to eventually start preparing taxes in the 2026/2027 season? Or do you think that working one more season with H&R Block to gain the extra experience and start my own side LLC for tax planning and bookkeeping would be a better route? In this second route, I wouldn't be able to prepare taxes until the 2027/2028 season. If you have any advice/opinion, I would be interested to know. Thanks!

Hi Crysta! I love your videos, I’ve been binge watching them for the past week lol I’ve got a question about getting a EFIN. Do you have to be a us citizen or green card resident?

Oh men! I missed your life again!! … quick question. I went to certifyiable to get enrolled in classes with you. I was under the impression you guys also offer bookkeeping classes but when you go to the bookkeeping option there is nothing in there. I am afraid to enroll without being sure bookkeeping clases are also offered. Would you mind letting me know? Thank you
