After years of consulting to Tax Partners, Tax Managers, Tax Directors, Associates in accounting firms and law firms, I learned a lot about their professional lives. There was one issue that came up in our conversations over and over again and that was the constant pressure to bring in clients. While working long hours and weekends to get the clients work done, they were under constant pressure to bring in even more clients. It has been this way for years and a solution was needed to take client acquisition pressure off and provide a solution that drives new clients to tax services providers! Imagine all the time that would be saved if clients would come to tax professionals instead of having to spend what little time they had left in a work day to market their tax services. TaxConnections emerged to provide a new age solution that would drive clients to tax services providers and reduce overhead marketing costs.
It is important to look at the problem from the client perspective if you want to learn how to gain more clients. Let’s imagine a CEO or individual client has a need for your tax expertise. What do they do today if they need your tax advice? Answer: They go to the internet or they ask around for a referral. With more than 2 Billion people now going to the internet for tax expertise each year, we need to focus on that need. Let me give you a real life example of what happened when I showed www.taxconnections.com to a Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist. We sat at the table in front of a computer screen and he states “ What makes TaxConnections better than anyone doing a Google search? “ I told him. “ Well let’s just see for ourselves what the user experience is like!” What we did was entered into TaxConnections search bar the word “ Ireland” and all these tax professional profiles appear in one click. Then we went to the Google search bar and put in the words “ tax professional Ireland” and his eyes got wide and we looked at each other and smiled. All he could see on the Google search was clutter and he knew then and there the solution provided by TaxConnections for users worldwide. We have a great user experience in a click or two! I highly recommend you do this exercise yourself to see what it is like for the user who is searching for your tax expertise online.

We focus on educating the journey to sell a practice and how to increase firm revenue prior to any sale.

We introduce you to value added connections to smartly grow revenue in your accounting practice.
Kat Jennings has been retained by organizations worldwide to locate tax professionals with highly specialized tax knowledge and expertise. She has a thorough understanding of the tax business community, with a proven record of stellar performances matching professionals with organizations. Bringing two parties together to work successfully is the art of understanding personalities, cultural fit, expectations by both parties, flexible or inflexible work environments, understanding what drives and motivates each party, and revolves around the personality and ethics of each executive team.
Kat is a widely recognized expert in high level, tax executive search, as well as connecting buyers and sellers of accounting firms. TaxConnections provides and educates small to medium size accounting firms owners and Partners how to prepare and sell their firms so they can build a succession plan for their retirement. With larger firms seeking to acquire smaller accounting practices, there is a real need to help firm owners prepare to be acquired. Most firm owners are unaware they are not ready to sell when they decide to retire. TaxConnections educates firm owners’ what they need to do years in advance of selling an accounting firm practice.
Senior tax executives expect the utmost privacy when being introduced to multinational organizations about a new tax opportunity under consideration. Having said that, companies searching for a new head of tax expecting tax executive candidates to submit their resume through a resume portal, will never see a full slate of outstanding tax executives available due to a candidates’ desire for greater privacy. This is why privacy focused Uber Tax Recruiters consistently outperform in-house recruiters on tax executive searches.
We offer our clients a Performance Retainer Agreement arrangement so their HR department can still recruit and compete with the tax candidates we present on Head of Tax searches. The client pays us a partial fee upfront, and if they find a candidate they deem better than we introduce to them, we forfeit the final fee. Most of the time, they love and prefer our private introductions to tax executive candidates better than what they source through their own resume portals.
When we represent selling/buying small to medium-sized firms, firm owners/partners also demand greater privacy when considering the sale of their practice. TaxConnections provides a safe place to discuss their business needs, elevate their practices’ online reputation, and increase revenue through new streams of business development by outsourcing work and partnering with other firms. Over three decades, we have worked tirelessly to build relationships between firm owners most organizations rarely have access to in the world of tax. There are numerous possibilities you may never have considered previously to bolster the value of your practice and service offerings.
