Practice Builders is built around the three things every tax pro needs when they’re trying to build a resolution practice:
Technical Growth. Keep sharpening your resolution skills on real cases, and go deep on the IRS problems every resolution pro faces.
Marketing & Practice-Building. Know how to attract prospects, explain your value, price your work, and turn resolution into a real, profitable service line.
Ongoing Support & Mentorship. When a tough case lands or a campaign isn’t converting, you have somewhere to go instead of guessing — or worse, quitting.
Every month, members get:
- One new advanced technical training session (CE-eligible), plus live Q&A where you can put your own cases in front of our team
- One new marketing & practice-building session where we review members’ real marketing pieces and fix what isn’t converting
- Direct access to our team for case consultations, quick questions, and marketing critiques
- The full back catalog the day you join — 100+ hours of recorded training, plus every article, template, and tool we’ve ever published
Monthly Session 1 — Advanced Technical Training + Live Q&A
Each month, one brand-new technical session a clear step above the Accelerator in depth, followed by Q&A where you put your own client situations in front of our team.
Attend the live sessions and you’ll earn up to 12 CE credits a year. You also get instant access to the full Technical Library — 40 recorded sessions, 40+ hours — plus two years of past Q&A. A sample:

There are three stages of building a tax resolution practice. You will get a complete program for each.
Every tax pro who adds resolution moves through the same three stages: you launch the service, you close the people who come, and you deliver the work. Most try to figure each one out on the fly, and that’s where many practices stall.
Practice Builders includes a complete, structured program for all three — not random webinars, a coherent path you can move through at your own pace and return to whenever you need to.
Build — Launch and Promote Your Tax Resolution Service. A nearly 7-hour, step-by-step course for getting your resolution service up and running. Choose your market, create your offer, promote your services, follow up with prospects, and build credibility.
Sell — Convert Prospects Into Clients. A 3-hour program on leading the conversation, explaining the value, quoting the fee, and handling objections. If you’re going to offer resolution, you need to know how to sell it.
Operate — Deliver the Work Professionally. A 5-hour program for building the client experience and case workflow so resolution doesn’t create chaos in your practice. Because getting cases is only good if you can manage them well.
Two More Resources You’ll Unlock
Done-for-You Marketing Content, Every Month. Most tax pros want to send a regular newsletter or email to their client list to stay top of mind — they just never find the time to write one. Every month, you’ll get four ready-to-use articles you can drop into a newsletter, email, blog post, or social media. Use them as-is or tweak them to your voice. You also get access to the full archive of every article we’ve published.
Revenue Ramp Up. Right before filing season, we run our annual Revenue Ramp Up program — built specifically to help you optimize the months when the most money is moving through your office. It’s the one time of year we focus less on resolution and more on making sure tax season earns everything it can. Included every year you’re a member.
You’ll never face a case alone.
The thing that kills new resolution practices isn’t lack of skill. It’s the moment you hit a case you’ve never seen, or a marketing piece that isn’t converting, and you have nowhere to go for a straight answer. Practice Builders gives you three ways to get one.
20-Minute Phone Case Consultations. Schedule a private call with a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist on our team to walk through a tricky case, a planning question, or a strategy decision. Talk it through with someone who has handled hundreds like it, and walk away with a clear next step.
Quick-Question Emails. Not every question needs a call. When you just need a yes/no, an IRM cite, or a sanity check before you respond to the IRS, send it over and get a fast reply.
Marketing Critiques. Your marketing is often the difference between “I took the Accelerator” and “I’m actually getting resolution consultations.” Submit a website, letter, ad, email, lead magnet, or full campaign, and an ASTPS team member sends back a walkthrough with specific feedback on what to fix and what’s already working.
A room full of tax pros building what you’re building.
Most of our members are solo practitioners or small-firm owners. You already know how isolating that can be — no one down the hall to bounce ideas off, no one who really gets this work.
The Practice Builders community is hundreds of tax professionals all building toward the same thing you are. Members trade case strategies, share what’s actually pulling in clients, swap referrals when something falls outside their wheelhouse, and give each other the kind of in-the-trenches advice you can’t get from a textbook.
We meet in our private Skool community — the same platform you used during the Accelerator.
ASTPS Professional Membership, Included
Practice Builders includes your full ASTPS Professional Membership — a $412-per-year value — at no extra cost. If you’re already a member, your existing membership pauses the moment you join, and any remaining time resumes if you ever leave Practice Builders. You don’t lose a day.
