STAY AWAY. Don't let their sales smiles fool you. Yes they will deny this but I wouldn't take the time to write this if it wasn't true.

They say it's cheap to start a Smart Tax but don't tell you about all the crazy over priced products they force you to buy.

Their support sucks, when you call in the middle of tax season with a client in front of you and an important question, their "support" staff is actually doing returns for the main branches customers at the same time. Very often you her them say things like "sorry I'm with a client I'll call you back" 

Very unprofessional and they control all the funds always threatening not to pay or let you operate from the office unless you put up with their unethical ways.

STAY AWAY don't let the small start up costs fool you they will take you to the cleaners. If you doubt this you should call individual franchisees. Beware though the franchisees are cautious of the Smart Tax spies calling to but you should sense aside from his main men Joe and Jorge every one is miserable.

Smart Tax Franchise Sucks a Scam, Fraud, Very Bad

AUTHOR: Joe - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 02, 2011

STAY AWAY. Don't let their sales smiles fool you. Yes they will deny this but I wouldn't take the time to write this if it wasn't true.

They say it's cheap to start a Smart Tax but don't tell you about all the crazy over priced products they force you to buy. Besides every new store lately has been an outright failure loosing thousands and thousand with owners going bankrupt when they find they are money pits. 

Their support sucks, when you call in the middle of tax season with a client in front of you and an important question, their "support" staff is actually doing returns for the main branch's customers at the same time. Very often you her them say things like "sorry I'm with a client I'll call you back" and they don't even call back half the time.

It's too new of a company and lacks the proper support especially since they spend their time and funds on selling more franchises and not helping the poor franchisees. Heck why should they care they get minimum fees from your office whether it gets a single customer or not. Plus they make you buy all kinds of Smart Tax crap at a premium like umbrellas, pens, envelopes, $1,000 plus murals, posters, mats, etc, etc, etc. 

Very unprofessional and they control all the funds, always threatening not to pay or let you operate from your office unless you put up with their unethical ways.

When company decisions are made it's not in the best interest of the clients and franchisees but the owner of the franchise and his main men.

STAY AWAY don't let the small start up costs fool you, they will take you to the cleaners. If you doubt this you should call individual franchisees. Beware though the franchisees are cautious of the Smart Tax spies calling them. You should still be able to sense when you call, aside from his main men Joe and Jorge every one is miserable.
