Service Bureau
What is a Tax Service Bureau?
A tax service bureau is a type of business that resells tax software to Electronic Return Originators (EROs) and professional tax preparation businesses under their own brand. By doing this, service bureaus are able to focus on selling software and other solutions without having to worry about creating and maintaining complex tax software on their own.
- No need to program your own tax software
- Set your fees and sell CrossLink software to your tax offices year-round
- Earn revenue on software, eFiles, Bank Products, and more!
If you are already a successful professional tax preparer or currently run a tax preparation business with multiple offices, becoming a service bureau may be the next move to grow your business and generate new revenue.
