The problem

What nobody teaches a tax professional

You spent years learning the law. Running the practice (getting clients, keeping their data safe, training staff) you had to learn by trial and error.

The CA course teaches the law, not how to get clients or protect their data.

Most courses are made for other businesses, not for a tax practice.

Good courses are long and costly. These are short, practical and Rs. 599 to Rs. 999.

Courses

Each course is short, made for a tax practice, and ends with something you can use in your office the same week.

Why the Office Subscription Plan

Train your whole office, and see that it is working

A course bought by one person helps one person. The Office Subscription Plan gives every course to you and your staff, and gives you, the principal, a dashboard to see who is learning, remind those who are not, and show the certificates your team earns.

  • All 20 courses, and every new course added during your year
  • Small office: you + 5 staff. Large office: no staff limit
  • Each person has their own login, progress and certificate
  • An office dashboard that tells you what to do next
Office overviewExample office
A drawing of the real dashboard with example numbers. Lessons read per week at the bottom.

An office dashboard

Your office at a glance, every time you log in.

  • Who was active this week, and who has not started
  • Lessons read per week, for the last 12 weeks
  • Each person: lessons read, courses done, last lesson
  • Each course: who started, who finished

You know where training stands without asking anyone.

"What to do now"

The dashboard turns the numbers into a short list, with a button for each.

  • Remind staff who have not started
  • Nudge someone who has gone quiet
  • Resend an invite that expired
  • Fill a free place in your plan

Five minutes a week keeps the whole office learning.

Nobody falls behind

Reminders run on their own, so you do not have to chase.

  • Emails when someone has not started (after 2 and 7 days) or has gone quiet (7 and 14 days)
  • A Monday email to you with the week's progress
  • One-click reminder from the dashboard
  • Study slots and a weekly team learning hour in everyone's calendar

Staff are kept up to date without you writing a single message.

Your office's own rules

New staff learn how your office works, not a general version.

  • Write your rules once: hours, files, DSCs, client calls, reporting
  • They appear inside the First 90 Days lessons
  • Staff confirm they have read them; you see who did
  • 90-day plans for new joiners, with reviews

Onboarding stops depending on who has time to explain.

Certificates your team can show

Every course ends with a certificate of completion.

  • A Team certificates page with everyone's certificates
  • Share them with clients on WhatsApp and LinkedIn in one click
  • Anyone can check a certificate on our website
  • Staff add them to their LinkedIn profile

Clients see a trained, up-to-date team.

From reading to doing

Every course leaves something your office uses the same week.

  • Word kits, letters and ready Excel templates
  • A "Do this today" step in every lesson
  • Implementation checklists for the new courses
  • An office leaderboard, only inside your office

Training turns into better systems, not just reading.
