Firms are seeking talent, career seekers want purpose, and entrepreneurs need guidance. We have the solution.
Taxley leverages the power of the time-tested apprenticeship model to resolve this dilemma – helping firms build a workforce who can meet the moment, while preparing aspiring professionals to thrive in Enrolled Agent careers that empower small business leaders.
Cultivating the Professionals Who Drive Ambition Forward
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy — yet nearly half don’t survive past year five. At the same time, more than 70% of firm leaders report they can’t find the qualified accounting talent they need.
The result is predictable: entrepreneurs struggle without direction, and firms struggle without talent. This is where we step in.
Workforce Development
People want meaningful, stable careers. Firms want capable, loyal talent. And we know Enrolled Agent (EA) careers deliver both.
Through our workforce development tracks, we open the door to a respected profession — building foundational tax and financial literacy, preparing individuals for EA roles, and helping firms cultivate the skilled workforce they’ve been searching for.
Small Business Growth
Small businesses don’t fail from lack of ambition — they fail from lack of guidance. Trained EAs provide the clarity, strategy, and advocacy entrepreneurs need to stay compliant, operate confidently, and grow with intention.
We develop professionals who become the advisors small businesses can rely on to launch, operate, and succeed sustainably.
Sustainable Impact
When EAs rise, everyone rises. Skilled advisors strengthen firms. Stronger firms support business growth. Stronger businesses build stronger communities.
This is the power of a trained Enrolled Agent workforce — and the impact we’re here to make.

About Taxley
built on experience, driven by purpose
For nearly two decades, Anisha Bailey, EA, MSEL, Taxley’s Founder and CEO, has worked inside the financial lives of families and small businesses — advocating for taxpayers, resolving complex IRS issues, and helping entrepreneurs regain stability during some of their most challenging moments.
Those years taught her something that reshaped her mission:
Business owners are not failing due to lack of effort, they are failing due to lack of access to trained, trustworthy professionals who know how to help them lead effectively.
Instead of watching these gaps widen, Anisha chose to build a solution.
Drawing from her experience in tax law, small-business strategy, and executive leadership, she transformed Taxley from a consulting practice into a career-development academy — one designed to raise the standard of the Enrolled Agent profession and expand opportunity for those entering it.
Her work is rooted in one belief: capable professionals create stronger firms, and stronger firms create stronger communities.
Today, Anisha leads Taxley with a focus on clarity, competence, and meaningful service — preparing the next generation of EAs to become the trusted advisors our small-business community can depend on.
