What struck me most was how comprehensive it is. Coates doesn't just skim the surface; she dives deep into the nitty-gritty details. From the very first steps of securing the necessary licenses and certifications (like that IRS PTIN or EFIN – something I never even knew existed!), to choosing the right business structure, she walks you through every crucial decision. The book really emphasized the importance of legal compliance and understanding the ins and outs of tax law, which is absolutely vital for building a trustworthy reputation. And it's not just about the boring legal stuff; she makes it engaging and understandable, breaking down complex topics into manageable chunks.

The book actually saved me hours of frustrating online searches trying to figure out what software best fits my needs. It's the kind of time-saving insight that's invaluable when you're building a business from scratch.
Beyond the technical aspects, the book delves into the crucial area of marketing and client acquisition. Building trust with clients is paramount in the tax business, and Coates provides some really insightful strategies to help you attract and retain clients. She offers actionable advice, covering everything from networking to building a professional online presence. The book also addresses the exciting possibilities of remote work and how to leverage those opportunities. I especially appreciated her tips on navigating the ever-changing landscape of tax laws; the book acknowledges that it’s a dynamic field and equips you with the knowledge to stay updated.
