Own a Strategic Growth Asset
Deliver year-round tax and bookkeeping services to a booming bilingual market.
Brand overview
ATAX is America’s first Latino-owned tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, and incorporation franchise. Founded in 1986 in the Bronx, the brand pioneered bilingual, in-person financial services and began franchising in 2007. Acquired by Loyalty Brands in 2019, ATAX has grown to over 110 locations across more than 20 states and Puerto Rico. As an Area Rep, you run an executive-management business, hiring bilingual preparers and staff rather than preparing taxes yourself. You generate revenue through four year-round service lines: personal and business tax prep, monthly bookkeeping retainers, weekly payroll, and incorporation services.

Ideal candidate
ATAX seeks Growth Operators who want a fast-growth, low-investment business to jumpstart their future as an owner-operator or semi-absentee multi-unit leader, as well as Empire Builders looking to add a recession-resistant, year-round brand to their portfolio. The model is also an excellent fit for independent tax preparers or CPAs looking to convert their practice to a branded model, and corporate professionals seeking autonomy and a community footprint. Neither a CPA license nor prior tax experience is required, but a commitment to running a bilingual office is essential.
