As a Partner in the Accelerator Program, you will receive advanced training in WealthAbilitys Wealth & Tax Strategies and soon be ready to provide high-level tax planning and advisory services to ideal clients that value your knowledge and ability to clearly communicate relevant ideas to them. As you progress, we will help you build your own client list and a path to ownership of that asset.

Partner Level Responsibilities at CPA Solutions Relative to Client Service includes (but is not limited to):

Wealth & Tax Strategy Development Sessions: Our flagship product is the Wealth & Tax Strategy (WTS). It is a 10-step proven process to document a plan of action to get an entrepreneurial client from where they are now to where they want to be in specified period by helping them define their niche, build a team of professionals, and make them as tax efficient as possible legally, ethically, and morally. Consulting time varies based on complexity.

Value Presentation: This is the key to bridging the gap between the initial engagement that CPA Solutions sells for you and the implementation and maintenance engagement that will land the client on your balance sheet. Part of being a partner (business owner) is learning how to sell. For us that means getting clients to sign the next engagement letter. You must be able to explain to the client how were providing more value than were charging them in fees to be successful with this. We will work closely with you and be by your side until you have the confidence necessary to close on your own.

Strategy Implementation Projects: Implementation is necessary upon completion of strategy engagements and when there is an update to clients strategies. Implementation is essentially executing the plan of action (strategy). It may include things like cost segregation, R&D credit studies, change in accounting methods, or entity conversions. The partners role in implementation may only include quality control once they have completed the Accelerator Program and become a business owner and CPA Solutions services department is ultimately responsible for delivering or implementing the strategy that the partners create. However, Accelerator employees will be required to complete tasks related to implementation projects as needed to achieve the desired outcome for clients in the most efficient way possible.  

Project Planning Meeting: Once the client signs and pays for their engagement, our customer service team will schedule a zoom meeting with the partner and the client. During this meeting, partners will complete a questionnaire with the client, update/delegate missing items list(s), and plan for extensions (unless the client insists on filing by 4/15). This meeting includes discussion of all the client's entities and happens within a week or two after the client signs and pays for their implementation/maintenance engagement. This is key to getting the year off to a smooth start and creating a great experience both for yourself and the client. The partner will delegate the missing items list for gathering to the customer service team.  

Detailed Review - Entity & Individual ITR: Quality control is very important in our world. Accelerators are required to complete detailed reviews of other partners clients ITR (income tax returns) when the partner is employed for the development program because it is a great way to learn our systems, develop a better understanding of other partners strategies, and get to know them better. Once a partner graduates from the Accelerator program, they are not required to complete these tasks, however, they may do so if they have the time and desire to increase their bottom line.

Final Review - Entity & Individual ITR: Before the tax returns are delivered to the client, Partners review the tax returns to make sure that they align with the previous years strategy to the best of their knowledge. Then, they record a short (less than 10 minute) video with screen share to walk the client through the most important aspects of their tax returns, next steps, and the value created. Also, partners will note ways that additional value can be created this year to encourage the client to schedule a discovery meeting.

Planning Meetings: A certain number of planning meetings (typically 4) are included in the client's implementation and maintenance engagement. These can be used flexibly or quarterly depending on partner and client preferences. Typical subject matter would include helping them with estimated tax payments, understanding how changes in law may affect their wealth and tax strategy, helping them calculate the return on investment for new investments, updating structure diagrams, reviewing progress towards the client's dream and/or whatever else may be valuable to the client. 

How the Partner Accelerator Program Works:

Compensation shall be earned by completing partner-level tasks. Also, there are commissions available for leading clients to sign new strategy implementation and maintenance engagements. Everything youll be working on is set up as a task in our project management system and has a dollar value. Value created is reconciled to wages advanced monthly.

• You will receive up to $10,000 advanced wages per month to allow you to maintain lifestyle while youre building your client list (asset).
• Excess value created above your advanced wage amount shall be banked toward partnership buy-in.
• Every new advisory client signed counts as a commissioned sale. We will sell the initial consulting engagement (strategy development) for you, but you must sell the implementation and maintenance engagement before counting the clients as yours.

• Develop approximately 10-20 advisory client relationships projected to generate at least $150k in ARR (annual recurring revenue)
• Complete Wealth & Tax Strategy training/qualification through tier 2 of 3
