Brittney is very helpful, knowledgable and walked me through the set-up, payroll process, and what to expect about taxes, answering all my questions in real time.

Nelson Aguilar was great to work with on my onboarding call. He answered all my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully and you could tell he genuinely cared. The actual onboarding process was smooth in terms of the Collective, but he made it that much better!

Great Customer service from Shobi, he was attentive and patient with all my questions. He explained (and walked me through) all of the steps and he emailed me a follow up email with the steps after our call. Thank you for your help!

As a Solo-preneur, Collective has made running the backend of my business SO MUCH easier/cleaner. From making sure I'm doing the right financial tracking to streamlining taxes, payroll, expenses, and foreign entity registration, it has become a must-have!

Clean & intuitive system and onboarding, with high-quality service level (responsive within 24 hours, if not hours). Have not gone through tax season with them yet but feeling confident so far in their accounting and tax strategy capabilities. My onboarding manager was Shobi, who particularly was pleasant and detailed.

I received a call from the representative (an actual accountant) less than 24 hours after I asked a question. She was really helpful and answered numerous questions for me.

Shobi walked me through the set up and now I am up and running and ready to save some money and simplify my tax situation!

John has been extremely helpful in educating me on S-corp structures and business taxes overall. Coming from a place with little to no tax knowledge, he was able to break down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand explanations using practical examples.
He not only answered all of my questions thoroughly, but also provided clear strategies on how to properly structure and utilize an S-corp to maximize its benefits. His responses were always prompt and insightful.
I highly recommend John’s services to anyone looking for guidance on business taxes and S-corporations.

Collective should be the go-to for all self-employed busy people. They take care of everything seamlessly and are very responsive when questions come up.

The team at Collective makes you not only take a deep breathe - educates and truly has you get compliant with understanding and confidence. They understand the soloprenuer and the fear of making a mistake. Hannah, Mo and Kyle have empowered me and taken away a lot of stress. Don't hesitate to engage Collective as your tax partner

I finally made the change and went with Collective to get my business S Corp ready and operating. I was nervous in the beginning not sure what to expect with an essentially all in one company, but it has been amazing. The staff is all wonderful, very quick to respond and extremely helpful. Jean, Megan, Jihadah, Brittney, Hannah and Travis have all been SO wonderful. Everyone is there to help you and I ask SO many questions. I use the messenger constantly, but they are always quick to respond and give me updates promptly and answer my questions in the most reasonable amounts of time. The price is fantastic, the onboarding has been excellent and the dashboard is extremely easy to navigate. I am so happy that I'm working with Collective and am looking forward to this new relationship in the coming year and beyond.

This is the first time I use a company to do the bookkeeping for my company, obviously I am impressed with the system. However, what I am the most impressed about is with Shobi. Shobi has gone above and beyond getting me on board, he has put himself available not just to answer questions about the program but also technical questions coming from an LLC to an S-Corp. Shobi, keep shining!, small business like mine appreciate your dedication.

I’ve had a great experience with Collective from the start. The onboarding process was smooth, and their team helped me set up my S corporation and get my business finances organized. What stands out most is the one-on-one service. Whenever I have a question, someone is there to help and explain things clearly.
I’d recommend Collective to anyone starting a business who wants support with their finances and peace of mind as they get established.

Shahzeb was my onboarding advisor and has been very helpful so far! I just started with Collective, and everything has been easy and straightforward. It’s still early, so I’ll definitely update my review as I continue working with them and have more experience with their services.

It's incredible how complex running what appears to be a simple business really is. Between federal and state taxes, various filings, etc., it's just a complete jungle that would be difficult to manage without professional help.
For the price, I think Collective is a very good offering. They could do a little bit more, in my view, especially with some of the new AI tools. I could imagine them rolling out to automate the true last mile of every little payment to tax authorities or checking on documentation. Some of that is still, unfortunately, kind of manual, but they stay on top of it and assign account executives to ensure you're getting things done.
I also have to say that, having worked with two account executives who are both CPAs, the people that they recruited to be customer-facing are truly top-tier. They are super attentive, good-humored, and communicate clearly. Special shout-out to John Heintz - what an amazing person to work with!
