 A good place to start July 1, 2010
Tax Writer (Maui)
This was one of the first tax practice marketing books I ever purchased. It's a good place to start, especially beginners. The author talks about different ways to find and market to new clients, and basic information to help a new practicioner navigate the difficulties of starting from scratch.
It's an easy read, so don't expect a textbook-size tome on marketing and business start-up-- that's not what this is.

The book was supposed to be shipped within 1 to 2 days, but instead was postmarked 1 week after. I ordered several books at the same time from different vendors and this book was the last to arrive over 1 week after the others. The quality of the book also was low in that the pages were bent and the cover had corners that were bent as well. I would never buy from this vendor again.

This book is loaded with extraneous stuff but has very little on actually marketing a tax business. In fact he talks about almost anything but that.
It could be written as how to start a business and I would give it a 3
but as far as tax businesses go you are going to get zero as fsr as creative marketing ideas. The book is dated as well. Needs an update...Dont waste your money.
Good practical book August 23, 2007
Tax Man (Bethlehem, PA)
As a tax accountant, when I read this book I found it interesting and practical. The author stays true to the title and allows readers to get a feel for what it is like to be a tax consultant as well as what the outlook is for the field. He does not get bogged down in tax talk in this book, it is what you want if you are looking for an overview and some steps to take now.
One of the best books I ever bought! Very informative. July 30, 2007

I bought my copy in 2003. This is a very good book for anybody starting out in tax consulting or small CPA environment, and even for some experienced practitioners too! The first time I read the book, I was pleasantly surprised at the wealth of information. Everytime I read the book again, I am amazed at how succinct the author was. The section on performing tax research alone, to me was worth more than the price I paid for the book. This book delivered what it promised and more.
