Perfect Tax Associate
The Perfect Tax Associate was first created over a decade ago, but recently we dug it out of the ASTPS vault and completely reimagined it! This course is specifically for Office Managers and Case Managers to get them up to speed as quickly as possible so they can become an enormous asset in your tax resolution firm.
In this course your staff will learn everything they need to know to assist you in your business. They’re going to learn about how tax problems are created and the different solutions available to resolve them. In other words, by the end of this program, they’ll be speaking the same language as you!
Let’s be clear – this program does not go into the technical analysis of resolving tax problems (like our intro to tax resolution course). It is intended to give your non-technical staff a better understanding of the industry which will allow them to better communicate with prospects and clients.
Here is just some of what your staff are going to learn in the Perfect Tax Associate:
Part 1 – All about Tax Problems
Having a better understanding of how tax problems form will allow staff to better communicate with clients and be able to empathize with them. In this section you will learn:
- Who has tax problems
- Why they get tax problems
- Motivations to resolve problems
- The three basic types of tax problems
- Taxpayer options in collection cases
Part 2 – How to make a difference!
Front office staff are the heart and soul of your business. They are on the front lines dealing with clients while you’re battling with the IRS. We often find that office staff are underutilized and can take on additional responsibility if properly developed! In this section we’ll cover:
- Client intake
- Phone interviews/screening
- Transcript retrieval
- Mail sorting/triage
- Gathering documents
- Data entry on forms
- Correspondence
Part 3: Case Management & Marketing
Keeping clients informed is critical to keeping them happy and avoiding countless calls checking in with the professional. After your staff go through this course they’ll be able to:
- Understand case flow
- Client tracking
- Updating clients
- Dealing with difficult clients
- Basic marketing strategies
- Marketing tracking
Sample letters, checklists, and work programs
Prior to the start of the program ASTPS will provided all attendees with downloadable sample letters, checklists, and work programs. The materials will be provided in a fully editable format (MS Word) to allow customization for your practice.
The Perfect Tax Associate course was designed to make your life easier! A properly trained staff can make a world of difference in the efficiency and effectiveness of your firm. Investing in your staff can also boost morale and re-energize your team!

On top of that, ASTPS provided forms and tips which will help my firm up its game.” – James W.

8 Hour Recorded Training
There is a pretty big learning curve when it comes to understanding tax resolution. It gets even steeper when trying to train non-technical staff with no tax background! The goal of this course is to fast track your staff and get them up to speed as quickly as possible. The great thing about this course being recorded is that you can watch it as many times as you’d like, and this is an in depth program and some modules will need to be watched multiple times.
12 Month Course Access
The course will be run live initially, but you will also get access to the recording for 12 full months to go back through it again! That means that if you hire a new person in the next 12 months you can give them this training for no additional cost.
