Prosperity Tax Software was founded by a team of experienced tax professionals who understood the frustration of working hard but not seeing the financial rewards they deserved. Our founders spent years in traditional tax offices, watching talented preparers struggle with low wages, limited growth opportunities, and the constant pressure of meeting someone else's quotas.

The breaking point came during a particularly busy tax season when our founder realized that despite preparing hundreds of returns and generating significant revenue for the company, the actual preparers were earning less than minimum wage when calculated on an hourly basis. Meanwhile, the business owners were reaping massive profits from their employees' expertise and hard work.

That's when the vision for Prosperity Tax Software was born. What if there was a way to give tax professionals all the benefits of working for a major tax company - professional software, marketing support, training, and business infrastructure - without the crushing overhead and profit-sharing that limited their earning potential?

We spent two years developing our service bureau model, partnering with leading software developers, and creating comprehensive training programs. Our goal was simple: provide everything a tax professional needs to succeed independently, at a price point that makes sense for someone just starting their entrepreneurial journey.
