Liking the platform a lot so far. Getting started is simple - I filled out the form and scheduled a 30 min call with their team. Got walked through the platform I met with Carly and she was very nice. Onboarding took a couple weeks for me I have an LLC and had all the files for it including EIN plus my prior year returns, this may be burdensome for people who don't have those on hand. The team helped me set up payroll and the s corp which was something I needed and was putting off. I've had a few months of bookkeeping and quarterly tax done with the team. Besides a couple errors and me asking them to recategorize some transactions it has been easy and a welcome change to my excel I was using. Would recommend giving it a shot.

Neat platform for freelancers ready for an scorp. Great support so far from the team. I canceled my QB, legalzoom, and collective is handling my tax moving forward plus payroll and compliance. I never write reviews and they've helped me a ton with my business.

I was operating as a sole prop for quite some time and knew I wasn't optimizing this. collective has helped get everything set up quickly. The team was great answering questions during the entity setup and giving some context on why information from me was needed and what each document means for the scorp. I've only had a few months of books done, but its been smooth and nice to have things in one place. I've loved not having to worry about tracking receipts and doing this work - worth the investment so far keep it up.

I had the pleasure of connecting with Brandon. He was so kind, helpful, and made a great effort to support me. Unfortunately given the structure of my business we were unable to work together; however I wish we could have as I felt the level of support and genuine desire to see me succeed was wonderful. My hope is that we will be able to work together in the future.

I’m not just the co-founder of Collective, I’m also a member. My wife and I couldn’t start and manage our S-corp without it. My co-founders and I launched Collective because we—and the people we love—live this problem. I don’t have the time or energy to juggle a patchwork of apps and service providers. Moreover, I love having one partner to help with all my questions. I looked around—most options were 2x the cost and totally manual. Collective isn’t perfect (yet), but it’s by far the best option out there—and it keeps getting better.

Really critical part of my business stack that helps handle all the finances of my business. I came into collective as an LLC about 2 years ago doing my books at the last minute and really not optimizing my financials. In truth they were an afterthought, which I now realize was pretty dumb. Now my s corp is run compliantly I’m paying my contractors the right way and I have a really great understanding of my financials through the monthly bookkeeping. The company I moved from didn’t even recommend an s corp to me and I couldn’t get in touch with anyone to ask questions about retirement or insurance. My MRM Elizabeth is awesome and helps clarify info for my business. It’s been a great combo of tech and people hopping in when I need them.

Susana was great! Ultimately, my business isn't ready for the what they offer, but I will be back when I'm free to file under an S corp

For what you get it’s a well priced solution clearly built for self employed people. I feel in control of my finances for the first time maybe ever and know where I’m spending my money, how I’m taxed and how much I should expect to pay. I was an LLC when I joined and my onboarding process was smooth. I got set up as an S corp linked my bank account and ran payroll with my reasonable salary recommended. Quarterly tax is something I was not doing and my last 2 tax seasons have been a breeze compared to my panic-induced scrambling I was accustomed to previously. Really recommend collective to any solo biz
