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, gather reviews from your first clients, publish a few helpful articles, and answer questions in the forum. Every one of those builds your visibility from day one.
Already established
Your reputation should work for you. Claimed and reviewed profiles always rank highest, so the reviews you have earned move you to the top, where new clients are looking. Publish articles to show your expertise, respond to reviews, and keep your profile complete to stay ahead.
How it all builds our engine
Everything on the platform feeds one goal: connecting taxpayers with the right preparer. In search results, claimed and active profiles rank highest. Claiming your profile, earning reviews, replying to them, publishing articles, and answering questions all lift where you appear, and that updates live as it happens. Because this ordering counts your activity and the number of reviews you have, even a brand new preparer can climb 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.
