Clients to Chase

You Became an EA
to Do the Work.
Not Chase It.

Most EAs spend more time marketing than doing the work they're actually trained for. You're good at resolution. The IRS transcript, the 433-A, the negotiation — that's your skill set. Cold outreach and social media aren't.

We built the other half of the business so you don't have to. Defender handles everything before the case reaches you. You handle everything after. We both do what we're best at.

All marketing and client acquisitionYou never cold call, run ads, or post content to find clients. We do that. You just work cases.
Signed engagement + complete fileContract executed, financials collected, POA ready. The file is complete before it hits your queue.
Full case autonomyYou pull transcripts, find the resolution path, work the case. No micromanagement. You're the expert.
Background support when you need itHave a question on a case? We're here. You're never working in a vacuum.
Year-round pipeline — not seasonalIRS problems don't stop in February. Steady, consistent case flow all year.

Exactly What
You Earn Per Case.

No vague ranges. No "competitive pay." Here's the actual fee schedule by case type — the same one you'll see in the contractor agreement.

Most of our volume right now is Installment Agreements. An EA working 6–8 IAs per month is earning $4,500–$6,500 consistently. Add in an OIC or two and the math changes significantly.

Paid within 5 business days of each client deposit. No invoicing required.

Case Type Your Fee
Installment Agreement (Simple) $150–$500
Installment Agreement (Complex / PPIA) $1,400
IRS Investigation $300–$450
Currently Not Collectible $800
Offer in Compromise $1,500–$4,500
Employment Tax / TFRP $2,800–$4,000
Monthly Potential (3–10 cases) $4,500–$10,500

Actual earnings depend on case mix and monthly volume.
