Certified Financial Counselor

It has been suggested by readers of this blog, that I might consider becoming a tax preparer or financial counselor. Time to attend the classes would be a problem for me. So would the cost. H & R block tax preparer classes cost around $600, as I remember from the last time I checked. Financial counseling classes, from what I have seen, are $1500-$4000.

Still, I have been thinking more and more, that maybe I should do both these. If I became a CFC, I could offer tax preparation during tax season, while focusing on financial counseling the rest of the year.

I'm sure, I would eat up the curriculum of a subject I've come to love.

  1. Just do it! find a way to pay and star something, I am currently looking at becoming an IRS enrolled agent so I can sign for taxes, more info below:

    "Enrolled Agent" (EA) is a tax professional who has passed an IRS test covering all aspects of taxation, plus passed an IRS background check. Enrolled Agents have passed a two-day, 8-hour examination. The examination (called the Special Enrollment Examination) covers all aspects of federal tax law, including the taxation of individuals, corporations, partnerships, and various regulations governing IRS collections and audit procedures. Like CPAs and tax attorneys, EAs can handle any type of tax matter and represent their client's interests before the IRS. Unlike CPAs and tax attorneys, Enrolled Agents are tested directly by the IRS, and enrolled agents focus exclusively on tax accounting. The "EA" designation may be revoked by the IRS' Office of Professional Responsibility for malpractice.
