“CPA - Tax Moms” are trade names given to Accounting and Tax Professionals who chose to work in an “relaxed” environment.
This is a picture of Beth. She is an ex H & R Block Supervior and Trainer of 15 years. She is the mother of five growth children.
Some "Mom" work from home, other work from personal offices. Beth works from a home office.
Not all are Moms, there are some Dads. We call them Mr. Tax Moms and CPA Dads.
Each Mom is independent. Once you start working with a Mom, you will keep the same “Mom” year after year regardless of where you move or relocate.
Being in a “relaxed” environment has many advantages. Lower overhead, faster response time, more availability, etc.
To be a member of the CPA or Tax Moms, the Tax Professional must ALWAYS be in good standing with their state licensing agency (if there is one), experienced, and must demonstrate a high level of ethics, professionalism and proficiency.
Tax Net Inc, the parent company, has developed marketing and on line systems to help qualified Tax Professionals work from their “relaxed” environment and offer better service at a lower price to the consumer.
Since the “Moms” do taxes and accounting of all complexities, there is always a Mom available for every level of work. Since each Mom has a private 800 number, you are just a phone call away, regardless of where you live.
