With the tax services industry valued at $14.4 billion in 2023, there’s no better way to take a new career path than with ATAX, offering low start-up costs to give you the best entry point into the tax preparation and business services industry.

We are the fastest-growing US tax franchise for the last three years and ranked in the 2023 Entrepreneur Franchise 500 – the bible of top-ranked franchise opportunities.

ATAX is a flexible business model allowing you to run your business how you want, giving you autonomy, freedom, and the option of working either a single- or multi-unit operation.

Above all, you have access to our Executive & Support Team, with 140+ years of experience in the tax industry. That’s the kind of expertise and wisdom you simply cannot buy.

We also keep our eyes sharp for new opportunities, such as our current focus on the Hispanic market: They are the fastest-growing population in the US and, therefore, the fastest-growing demographic of taxpayers.

One last – but by no means least – advantage to the ATAX franchise is the chance to engage with your community. Strong local relationships not only make a successful business but are vital in terms of making this venture something you can feel makes a personal difference to your area.

WHAT DOES ATAX SPECIALIZE IN?

ATAX is the US’s fastest-growing national tax preparation and business services franchise, serving our local multicultural communities.

Cristina Gallo’s (Florida) testimonial for ATAX is a testament to her journey of empowerment and success within the franchise. Starting as a teenager with no knowledge of taxes or franchising, she grew alongside the brand, eventually becoming an area developer with 21 locations in Central Florida, thanks to ATAX’s support and leadership.
