“We believe clarity is the operating standard that protects growth.”

– Anisha Bailey, EA, MSEL | Founder & CEO, Taxley®

Taxley® is an Enrolled Agent-led firm built to give entrepreneurs the advantage of awareness – so clarity becomes a permanent asset, not a temporary insight. Informed leadership is the difference between momentum and control, growth and fragility, and success and preventable failure.

Our Philosophy

Most entrepreneurs are never taught how to think across the full reality of business ownership. They’re expected to make high-stakes decisions across:

  • personal financial risk
  • entrepreneurship readiness
  • business cash flow
  • legal and tax consequences
  • business infrastructure
  • growth and exit timing

– without a framework that shows how these forces interact.

Taxley is built on a simple belief: clarity across the realities of ownership and leadership produces better decisions than pressure or panic ever will.

We help entrepreneurs understand the rules of the environments they operate in, so choices are made deliberately, not reactively, and leadership stays steady whether times are calm or complex.

A Legacy in Motion

Our story is shaped by the discipline to listen, the courage to evolve, and the intention to serve where it matters most.

2008

Founded on Advocacy


Taxley® launched to advocate for entrepreneurs navigating tax and financial uncertainty. By 2012, the work sharpened into tax resolution because that’s where consequences were immediate, and steady execution mattered most.

2023

Raising the Standard


We created ApprentEA™ to develop Taxley® talent in-house through a structured apprenticeship – the first registered apprenticeship program in the Enrolled Agent profession’s 140+ year history.

2026-Present

Leading with Clarity


We launched CentsableCEO™ to strengthen decision discipline across the realities of entrepreneurship. Tax resolution remains focused execution when IRS or state exposure threatens stability.

Meet the Founder

Anisha Bailey, EA, MSEL


Anisha Bailey, a federally licensed Enrolled Agent with a Master’s in Executive Leadership, founded Taxley® after leaving her corporate tax career at Deloitte.

Over time, one pattern became undeniable: businesses rarely fail because leaders lack effort. They fail when decisions are made without visibility into how money, risk, compliance, and responsibility connect.

After nearly two decades supporting entrepreneurs – and representing clients with IRS and state tax exposure – Anisha saw the same truth repeatedly: most tax, financial, and operational problems are decision breakdowns with delayed consequences.

Her work has been featured in:

  • Black Enterprise Magazine 
  • Cincinnati Refined
  • Dayton Daily News

Recognized with:

  • Emerging Business Leader Award (West Chester Chamber, 2023)
  • John F. Barrett Entrepreneur Vision Award (EO Cincinnati, 2025)

Service & leadership:

  • Board Trustee, National Association of Enrolled Agents Education Foundation
  • Women of Color (WOC) Committee Member, WBEC ORV (a WBENC RPO)

Anisha sets the leadership standard behind Taxley® — turning complexity into clarity, and clarity into control through disciplined decisions and strategic execution.

Our Philosophy In Action

Taxley is built on one operating standard: clarity fuels control. That standard shows up in two places:

CentsableCEO


Where entrepreneurs build decision discipline before momentum forces costly tradeoffs.

Tax Resolution


Where we step in when IRS or state exposure requires experienced execution to restore stability.

We don’t do panic, shortcuts, or dependence. We deal in facts, discretion, discipline, and strategic execution – so leaders stay informed, regain control, and move forward stronger.
