Strengthening Small Businesses by Elevating the Enrolled Agent Profession
As the nation’s workforce-development academy for the Enrolled Agent (EA) profession, Taxley trains aspiring and active EAs, develops forward-thinking firms, and empowers entrepreneurs to collaborate with trained advisors.
Our Why
Taxley exists for one purpose: to strengthen small businesses — because strong small businesses build strong communities.
We do this by elevating the profession uniquely positioned to guide and protect entrepreneurs: Enrolled Agents.
After nearly two decades working inside the financial and operational lives of families and small businesses, Founder & CEO Anisha Bailey, EA, MSEL, saw a pattern with national consequences:
These aren’t isolated issues — they are systemic.
So instead of watching the problem continue, Taxley evolved from a tax resolution and business advisory firm to a workforce development academy that strengthens the EA profession and the entrepreneurs who depend on it.
A Legacy in Motion
Our story is shaped by the courage to evolve, the wisdom to listen, and the intention to serve in a way that matters.
2008 – 2020
Our Roots
Anisha founded Taxley in 2008 after leaving Deloitte. By 2012, she committed the firm to taxpayer advocacy — resolving IRS and state tax problems for families and entrepreneurs nationwide.
2021-2023
An Expanded Vision
Partnering with the U.S. Department of Labor, Anisha established ApprentEA™ — the first registered Enrolled Agent apprenticeship in the profession’s 139-year history.
2024-Present
Our Focus
Taxley now operates as a workforce development ecosystem designed to elevate the Enrolled Agent profession, strengthen the firms that employ them, and position entrepreneurs for sustainable growth.
Meet the Founder
The Woman leading a national movement
Anisha Bailey, EA, MSEL is an award-winning entrepreneur and federally licensed Enrolled Agent who founded Taxley in 2008 after transitioning from a corporate tax career with Deloitte.
For nearly two decades, she has worked inside the financial and operational lives of families and small businesses — resolving IRS and state tax problems, re-establishing financial clarity, and helping business owners course-correct during their most difficult seasons.
Through this work, she saw the same pattern nationwide and realized: Small business success depends on professionals who understand tax law, financial behavior, operational structure, and human decision-making — collectively.
Drawing from her expertise in tax law, small business strategy, financial behavior, and executive leadership, she evolved Taxley from a consulting firm into a workforce development academy and created:
Today, Anisha leads Taxley with a commitment to clarity, competence, and community impact — preparing a workforce capable of strengthening the small businesses that keep our economy alive.
The Future of Entrepreneurial Success Requires the Elevation of Enrolled Agents.
Taxley’s Tax Resolution & Integrated Business Advisory (TRIBA™) Training unites tax resolution, financial clarity, operational structure, and behavioral insight into one cohesive standard designed for small-business success. This is the national model the profession has been missing — directly addressing the competency gaps repeatedly identified by the IRS and GAO.
