Our operating standard

How R&A works with every enrolled office.

Reviewed enrollment

Offices must hold a valid EFIN in good standing and current PTINs. Not every applicant qualifies.

An assigned representative

One Office Success™ representative owns your office record through onboarding and the season.

Written before billed

Scope and fees are confirmed in writing before any amount is charged.

Filed under your EFIN

Returns are prepared and transmitted by your office, under your own IRS-issued EFIN.

What we deliver

Four things your office needs before the season opens.

Detailed capabilities, requirements, and availability labels live on each dedicated page.

Professional tax software

Federal and state individual and supported business returns for tax year 2026, your office name inside the software, multi-preparer setup, and in-season updates.

Tax Software

CRM & office operations

Client records, office workflow, documents, and communications for offices that activate it. Scoped and confirmed in writing — not bundled with a software enrollment.

CRM & Office

Guided onboarding

Office, owner, preparer, and compliance details captured in your secure portal, then provisioning verified by an authorized R&A administrator before access is delivered.

Services

Training & support

Training Academy assignments for owners, preparers, and administrators, plus ticketed support with case history during business hours.

Training Academy

How enrollment works

From enrollment request to an office that is ready to operate.

Provisioning is coordinated, not instant. Steps that depend on a third-party provider, bank, or IRS credential follow their timelines, and R&A confirms each stage with your office.
  1. 01

    Enrollment request

    You tell us about your office and what you need.

  2. 02

    Qualification review

    We review EFIN, PTIN, and office readiness. Not every applicant qualifies.

  3. 03

    Agreement

    A written service-bureau agreement with R&A Business Software Solutions LLC.

  4. 04

    Payment where applicable

    Amounts required to advance onboarding are confirmed in writing first.

  5. 05

    Onboarding

    Guided steps in your secure portal: office, owner, preparer, and compliance details.

  6. 06

    Software provisioning

    R&A builds and verifies your environment. Third-party setup time may apply.

  7. 07

    Access delivery

    Access details are delivered through the secure portal — never posted or sent in plain text.

    Training & launch

    Academy assignments and a readiness review before your office opens.

  9. 09

    Ongoing support

    Service cases, communications, and season coverage from your assigned representative.

Providers, partners & affiliates

Relationships stated accurately, or not at all.

R&A publishes a provider, partner, or affiliate relationship only when current evidence and logo-display rights are on file. Federal agencies never sponsor, endorse, or partner with R&A.

Verified providers

Contracted providers are named in your written agreement and inside the secure portal — not implied through logos on a marketing page.

Affiliate & referral

An administered program with written terms per affiliate. Commission figures are issued in your agreement, not published here.

Industry compatibility

The software supports workflows involving e-file, participating banks, and common office tools. Compatibility is not endorsement.

Partners & affiliate program

Ross & Associates

Part of the Ross & Associates family of businesses.

A parent company, a technology company, and operating divisions serving taxpayers, business owners, and tax offices. Each business is engaged under its own separate agreement.

Before you enrol

Three questions offices ask first.

Do I need my own EFIN?

Yes. Your office files under its own IRS-issued EFIN. R&A assists with the IRS e-file application process but does not issue, lend, or share EFINs.

When do I receive software access?

After purchase, agreement execution, and completion of your onboarding requirements — then verified by an authorized R&A administrator and delivered inside your secure portal.

Is a CRM included with a software package?

No. CRM & Office Operations requires separate activation and is scoped and confirmed in writing.

More answers live in the Support Center.

Ready to prepare your office for the season?

Request enrollment information and an R&A representative will confirm requirements, package fit, and the current fee schedule in writing.
