Collective has simplified the "tough stuff" for my business including managing all of my bookkeeping and establishing my S-Corp so I now have peace of mind that it's setup accurately and I can now actually focus on doing the work I'm specialized in for my business. I am so grateful they exist for businesses of one and I am so glad I partnered with them just shortly after launching my business!

Discovering Collective has been an absolute blessing. As a small business owner in the design industry, managing financial responsibilities has never been my forte. However, with Collective taking care of everything with precision and swiftness, I can now devote my full attention to my business. The entire process, from forming my LLC to meeting both my personal and business needs, has been seamless and effortless. It is comforting to know that I have someone who always has my best interests at heart. Working with Matt Spitzli has been a complete game-changer for me. His extensive knowledge of financial matters has been exceptional, and he is always prompt in responding to any queries I may have. Whenever I require assistance, I simply send him an email, and we arrange a Zoom meeting to address any concerns. This approach has not only enhanced my quality of life, but I have also gained invaluable knowledge about finances. I highly recommend Collective to anyone who desires to have their affairs handled with utmost care and professionalism.

It's really been hands-off with the nitty gritty for me (what a relief!), and hands-on for the Collective team. Not only do I literally not have to worry about anything, but they field all my random questions and respond promptly – and then go above and beyond if they don't know the answer or the question is a juicy one. Collective has been a lifesaver for my stress and confusion on a weekly basis. God bless them.

Great all-around experience! Janet has been great to work with. She answers all questions very quickly. The whole team is awesome. Collective offers a fantastic service for a reasonable price.

I've been with Collective for almost a year, and it's been a breeze. They are always available to answer questions on-demand at all hours of the day, and the biggest thing they do is set up an easy system for payroll and teach you along the way the purpose behind S-corp elections and how it impacts us (the business owner) at the end of the year. The best part is they take care of everything for you. Shoutout to Janet for being the best. I would not be where I am today with my business if it weren't for her experience, expertise and genuine care for my success. I have full access to her calendar if I need to meet any time of the month, unlimited! And that's important... Collective is unlike any agency or CPA I've ever worked with. It's 100% worth the money. They are 11/10 stars!!!

You.Will.Be.Sorry. They made mistakes on my taxes two years in a row, then, when I tried to leave, they were no help at all. Basically, they setup my LLC, my payroll, and my books, and they are zero help with offboarding, so I do not have access to my accounts. Here is the exact message they gave me: "You would have to call the state at 1-866-403-6163 to get access to your unemployment account. Seem like the log in we created for you is no longer linked to your account." RUN RUN RUN RUN!

I was referred to Collective by a friend (and fellow freelancer) and I'm so grateful! As a service-based agency/ freelancer I learned quickly that I needed to outsource bookkeeping (marketing is my thing - not finances!), but I was still struggling at tax time and had no idea if I should become and SCorp. Collective help my hand through the hold setup stage and sends me helpful monthly reminders for bookkeeping + helps me stay on top of quarterly taxes and even files for me! 10/10 would (and actively do) recommend!
