Interested in becoming a seminar presenter?
Many tax professionals have the talent and ability to teach tax seminars, however, they do not have the time available to study, research, and write the material required to provide a quality tax seminar.  This is your opportunity to conduct your own seminars (with our help), or join us at our future seminars.
 
Benefits
Time Efficiency  You have to learn the material anyway (you’re a tax professional)! You will be studying the same material that will benefit you during tax season.
CE Credits         You can get Continuing Education Credits for teaching the courses.
Looking Ahead    Because you are learning the material before teaching it, you can spot issues with your own clients, anticipate problems, and do some tax planning with those clients before getting to the year-end.
Cost Sharing       If you are not financially prepared to take-on the entire project, we can work out a partnership arrangement to share the costs. 

Turn Key Operation:  (Option 1) Franchise Agreement.
You can own your own business with exclusive territorial rights for conducting your seminars with our materials.

Back to Basics Instructor:  (Option 2)
Our seminars are designed for two instructors at each location.  This format has been proven beneficial for the attendees as well as the instructors.  With that in mind, we need additional professionals as we make plans to expand. Next year, we expect to be doing seminars in several new cities and states and we need your help. 
Our presenters share the following accomplishments:
They are actively engaged in a substantial individual income tax practice.
They are licensed as an Attorney, CPA, or an Enrolled Agent.
They are experienced public speakers and can provide at least three independent references attesting to their speaking ability.
They have broad individual income tax experience including small business tax matters; estate and gift tax taxation as well as pension-related matters.
They like to teach and are comfortable working both with students who have minimal tax knowledge and those who have substantial tax expertise.
They are available to travel for up to six straight days during each of our three-week September and December seminar periods.

Our presenters all benefit from the following policies:
Presenters are independent contractors who agree to present Back to Basics Income Tax Seminar® materials at one or more seminar locations.
Promptly after each September and December seminar series, presenters receive a substantial payment for each seminar at which he or she presents.
Presenters receive advance copies of the seminar textbooks and seminar PowerPoint materials.

  2. A recent (within 12 months) color picture of you. (The photograph can be informal and background doesn’t matter. It will not be released to anyone outside our organization for any purpose without your written permission.)
