5 stars for Jennifer Rutledge 5 stars for Jennifer Rutledge 2 stars for Collective’s system and policies Jen was so helpful to soothing my anger about how communication has been and the system they have to communicate with the bookkeeper Aser. Jen thoroughly has been great sharing transparency but not making excuses for the bad experience I’ve had. She even comp a month of services bc I shared after filing for both business and personal taxes I will no longer continue with collective. They have no efficient way of categorizing expenses it’s all do it yourself spreadsheets which leaves room for error even though they have you link your bank statements to a 3rd software party. Gusto is one software Collective is another platform And the book keeping platform. So unifies for 300 a month. Compared to quick books.

UPSELL UPSELL UPSELL You're not going to work with someone in America. If you care about that, that's going to be an issue. I explained my situation and they were happy to take my $3,700. I just got an email that they want me to form a new LLC for an additional $500. I guess my first $3700 wasn't enough of an upsell. I haven't received an email back and now I'm seeking a refund with a company that has no contact number or phone support. Just a sinle email. Sketchy.

Stay away Tl;dr: -They messed up my takes and I owed >$17k -I paid a ton of $$ in penalties -Nobody would explain how to even pay these taxes or make the payments--I had to tell them -When I tried to get in touch with them, nobody responded to me -My business went under as a result and I had to move back with my parents I can't believe I got scammed like that 😂😂😂

Take a load off The most valuable partners are the ones who take a part of my business that feels extremely important completely off my mind. And that is exactly what the whole team at Collective do for me. Taxes, payroll, general bookkeeping, and expenses completely off my shoulders and never keeping me awake at night?! Yes please.
