Hey family and friendsβand if we havenβt met, Iβm Karen Raymond. Many of you know me as Karen Benson, or just KB from 24th and Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware. β€οΈ
Iβve been in the tax business for over a decade, but Iβve never really told you how I got started. I believe now is the time.
Twenty-one years ago, I moved to Atlanta to start a new life. Itβs been a walk of faith, with plenty of obstacles along the way. And somewhere in that journey, I found something that would become my business.
In 2011, I started preparing taxes for friends and family for free. In 2015, after my bankruptcy was discharged, I started KB Professional Tax Service with just $50.
I didnβt start with a lot of money or everything figured out. I started with what I had, kept learning, and kept going.
While building this business, life kept happening too. Preparing for marriage, becoming a wife three years ago, and growing into that role have been a journey of their own. Iβm still learning, but Iβm proud that I didnβt give up.
Today, I still help people with personal and small-business taxes. Now I want to help others learn how to prepare taxes and take steps toward building their own business.
Thatβs why Iβm offering training, business coaching, and mentorship starting October 15. I want to share what Iβve learned and help you get started, just like I once had to start.
If youβve been saying, βIβm gonna do it,β βI shouldβve done it,β or βMaybe next yearββI know that feeling. Iβve been there.
You donβt have to follow my exact path, but you do have to take your first step. If learning tax preparation or starting a tax business has been on your mind, message me. Letβs talk about where you can begin.
