The School was originally formed to offer a high-quality basic tax course that would address the ongoing shortage of licensed tax preparers within the state of Oregon.  Our educational programs are now enjoyed by hundreds of students throughout the country every year.

Quality Education Programs for Dedicated Tax Professionals

We believe we have succeeded in creating the best tax school in Oregon and that's saying a lot!  Oregon has the highest licensing standards of any US state.  The Oregon Board of Tax Practioners is the ONLY governement agency in the United States that conducts state administered tax preparer exams.  The Tax Board also measures the pass rates for all approved tax schools and instructors.  Since first offering our Basic Tax Course in 2001, our pass rate for the Oregon LTP exam has consistently exceeded the pass rates achieved by most other national and local tax schools by 20 - 40%. Our overall pass-rate in the 2008 exam cycle was 93%.  Our passrate for the 2009 exam cycle was 94%.
