Story angles we can speak to
- Why flat-fee disrupts traditional tax-prep economics
- The AFSP credential — what it is, what it isn’t, why we lead with it honestly
- Building a small SaaS on someone else’s engine (the CrossLink reseller model, openly disclosed)
- Solo and side-hustle tax preparers as the underserved tier of the market
- Tampa as a tax-prep growth market (no state income tax, MacDill AFB veteran population, snowbirds, etc.)
- WISP / FTC Safeguards Rule compliance for solo preparers — the parts that don’t get talked about
- Multi-brand strategy: when it works for a small business, when it splits attention
