Switching to an S corp and having the Collective take care of my bookkeeping needs has been such a load off my plate as a business owner. Communication is timely and their task list keeps me on track every month. Highly recommend!

Shobi was so nice and so helpful! I had so many questions and worries and his calm and happy demeanor solved them all!

I run a business and provide financial & operations services to my clients. I am very detailed oriented and responsive with my clients. I expect those qualities from my Bookkeeping & Accounting team. Juan has been a pleasure to work with. He has taken the time to meet with me and learn about my goals. He responds quickly to my questions and/or requests and has sent follow up information after our meetings so I can make informed decisions.

Shobi Supported me via onboarding - I paid way more for other book keeping services, COLLECTIVE has been amazing in supporting my schedule, helping me get my business cleaned up (from the books perspective) and also help me cut over to a Scorp -I HIGHLY Recommend

I originally started with collective just until I learned to manage this part of my business on my own, how hard could it be? After 3 months I learned the service they provide was invaluable and there was no way I had time to do even a fraction of what they do for me. Collective has been worth every penny. They are constantly adding innovation to stay in line with what business owners need and continue to come up with new ways to make things easier for their customers!

Collective has been a wonderful addition to my small acupuncture practice. Before Collective I was trying to piece together my bookkeeping, accounting, and tax strategy all by myself. Collective helps me by having it all in one place.Plus, my Account manager cpa Janet is AMAZING! She meets with me every month to keep me on track and is always there if I have other questions pop up. I highly recommend!

The team at Collective was extremely helpful as I was figuring out estimating my business taxes. As a first-time business owner, it was a bit daunting, but they team guided me through the experience with care and detail.

I love working with Collective and with Elizabeth. They are very responsive via the chat with I love and whenever I have more specific questions I just schedule a call.

They are on top of it! Onboarding was easy, I get to save money on taxes with an organized and clean UI.
My account manager handles all my questions and I am confident tax, bookkeeping and payroll are in good hands.

I'm in early in my use of Collective to organize my small business / self-employed finances, but thus far the onboarding experience has been great. Huge kudos to the onboarding team (Lauren's Leadership) and specifically Shobi who helped guide me through some of my initial questions. Faaiz has also been extremely helpful in answering questions through the messaging feature.
If anyone is on the fence about the value that Collective provides vs the price they charge for the service, I would say that there is significant value in what Collective does. Looking forward to continuing to use the service!

Having Elizabeth Mullins as my rep has made working with Collective SO MUCH more enjoyable. When we hop on calls her level of explanation is super clear & has made understanding Bookkeeping + Tax law not nearly as intimidating!
Before she was placed as my account rep, we were about a month away from giving our notice to Collective that we were switching. But along with her help & Collective's one-stop shop for accounting we plan on remaining as customers for a lot longer!

John is incredibly patient with me, who never went to business school and knows nothing about finances, yet I've owned a small business for 10 years. I am learning so much from him, its truly priceless! He also is very encouraging and explains things in a way that really make sense to me. He's hilarious to top it off and makes the boring stuff fun! highly recommend The Collective and John!

Mo made this easy as it could be! Thank you!

As a self-employed business owner, I dread doing administration work like book keeping and quarterly estimated taxes. Fallon walked me through it step by step, kept me on track with deadlines. Thoughtful, reliable, and easy to work with.

Mo was so amazing. I feel very grateful for the support and clear communication.

I love working with collective and it is a great platform to keep so many of my business needs met. My questions are constantly being answered by staff even though the answer might be challenging to find at first. I always leave understanding how to better utilize this important service.
