Founded in 2008, Taxley had been a tax consulting firm specializing in taxpayer advocacy for 14-years. In 2022, the Taxley footprint expanded to provide an ecosystem focused providing career training and apprenticeship programs, in tax law and consulting, to enhance lucrative and flexible opportunities for diverse, talented, and aspiring professionals, while filling the critical education gap that has plagued the tax industry for decades.

In addition to career training, we focus on collaborating with corporate, government and small business employers to ensure they understand the value of our training and the Enrolled Agent designation, so our students can be among their top recruits when filling on-site, hybrid and remote employment opportunities.

Not at all! 

A huge benefit to having a career in tax law and consulting is that traditional college education is optional. You have the freedom to choose value-add education that specifically prepares you for a career in this field, which makes the Taxley a smart choice.

However, depending on your career goals, like whether you aspire to have a corporate or government career, a college degree may be required so be sure to inquire with prospective employers.

Taxley was created by a practicing Enrolled Agent who understands the need for aspiring tax professionals, entrepreneurs, and business professionals in general, to have a deeper education in tax law.

Creating what she wish existed, Anisha Bailey used her more than 20-years of personal and professional experience to create a career training program that prepares students to help significantly improve the trajectory of financial literacy, successful entrepreneurship and legacy building.

Unlike many other programs, the Taxley doesn’t teach students to simply pass a test, we teach students to have sustainable careers. As a part of this process, we also prepare students to pass the Enrolled Agent (EA) exam and earn their professional licensure, which, in aggregate, opens the doors for lucrative, meaningful, and flexible careers in this space.

Our goal is to prepare our students to be among the top recruits with corporate, government and small business employers nationwide; and if the desire is there, for our students to confidently start their own companies. 

We encourage are students to think big, which requires a high level of professionalism, intelligence, and integrity.

Great question!

Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) specialize in financial accounting and are authorized to conduct and attest to financial audits. Most CPAs do not specialize in tax law, or know much about it in general.

Enrolled Agents (EAs) hold the most prestigious licensure the IRS/Dept. of the Treasury bestows on tax professionals. All Enrolled Agents specialize in tax law – their training and continued education requires an on-going proficiency in tax law.

If your goal is to be an auditor and specialize in financial accounting, then the CPA is a better designation for your career.

If you want a career in tax law and consulting, the Enrolled Agent license is by far the best and most elite license one can have.

Not automatically.

Throughout the program we prepare students to sit for, and pass, the Enrolled Agent exam. We walk students through the steps to register for and take the exam, but it’ll be up to you to pay the related fees, pass the exam and go through the official application process.

The Enrolled Agent exam is administered by a third-party, over which we have no control.

Using the power of the internet, all training is held 100% online.

Every fall, starting in 2024, we will hold an in-person graduation in the greater Cincinnati, OH area, provided it’s safe to do so. Otherwise, graduation will be held online as well.

Some colleges allow students to reduce course requirements based on previous experience and education.  While we are compiling a list of colleges who will give you credit for taking our program, we encourage you ask to your college advisor if our program qualifies.
