Who this firm is best for
Taxpayers with smaller balances ($5K-$10K) who don't fit TaxRise's $10K minimum, or Spanish-speaking clients who need a bilingual firm.
Our verdict
Better fit for smaller cases than top-tier firms (which often have $10K+ minimums). For $10K+ cases, TaxRise still wins on outcomes-per-dollar.
