About Rate My Tax Accountant
One memorable place to find an IRS registered tax preparer, read real reviews, learn about taxes, and get discovered.
Why we built this
For more than two decades, students have had one name they reach for before signing up for a class: Rate My Professors. It grew into the largest site of its kind, used by millions of students every year.
For most people who went through their academic years in the last decade or two, checking it first became second nature. You did not need to be told the name. You just knew it.
We kept coming back to a simple thought. When those same people finish their studies and move into the next stages of life, a first job and salary, a side business, a home, taxes become one of the most important and most confusing things they have to handle. Yet there was no equally memorable, trusted place to find and vet the person who handles them. So we built one: a name you can remember, and a platform you can rely on, for choosing a tax preparer.
One place for everything
Rate My Tax Accountant brings together what used to be scattered across directories, review sites, and word of mouth:
- Every IRS registered preparer, searchable by name, city, or credential
- Honest client reviews you can read and leave
- Articles written by our team and by preparers themselves
- A discussion forum for real tax questions
- Free tax tools and calculators
All in one place, and free to use.
For tax preparers
Just starting out
You do not need a marketing budget to get found. Your IRS registration already places you in our directory. Claim your free profile, publish a few helpful articles, and answer questions in the forum. Most importantly, ask every satisfied client to leave you a review, because reviews help your visibility through our ranking engine from day one.
Established in the industry
If you have spent years building your practice, your reputation should work for you. Claiming your profile and the reviews you have already earned help your visibility through our ranking engine, where new clients are looking. Keep asking happy clients to leave reviews, publish articles to show your expertise, respond to reviews, and keep your profile complete to help you get found.
How it all works together
Everything on the platform feeds one goal: connecting taxpayers with the right preparer. Claiming your profile, earning reviews, replying to them, publishing articles, and answering questions all help your visibility through our ranking engine, and that updates as it happens. Even a brand new preparer can build visibility simply by showing up and helping.
Our Top Rated lists work differently: they highlight the preparers with the highest ratings who have earned enough reviews to qualify. So both staying active and earning genuinely good reviews help you get discovered.
