  • Lenders value your firm's historical tax preparation volume.

  • Asset-light funding structures for smaller practices.

Transparent terms

  • Clear amortization schedules without hidden origination fees.
  • No prepayment penalties on most term loan products.
Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Low tangible assets

Traditional banks often reject accounting firms for lacking heavy machinery as collateral.

Our partners prioritize cash flow and revenue history over physical equipment.
02

High debt-to-income

Lenders get nervous when previous expansion loans sit on the balance sheet.

We focus on EBITDA multiples to show lenders your true firm profitability.
03

Seasonal revenue fluctuations

Banks see the dip between tax seasons as a credit risk.

Our lenders utilize annualized revenue metrics to smooth out cash flow.
