Stay far away... If you're a creator, stay far away from Collective. Their service is unreliable, and it's impossible to get ahold of one person who is actually able to get anything done. During sales calls, I was promised their tax service would be prompt. I gave them everything they needed mid-Jan and explained I was pregnant (due Apr 1st), so I needed my business tax return ASAP. I was promised it would be prioritized. Instead, it's been over a month, I've been passed around to about a dozen different people, and I still have yet to receive anything I need. Communication is slow. Their dashboard is buggy and annoying to use. I've also received emails from them with other business financial data, so their privacy and security are also major concerns. As a business owner, I don't like having my time wasted. The whole point of turning to this service was to save me time. Instead, I've quadrupled the number of hours I'm spending on the financial side of things because I have to waste so much time chasing them to get anything done. All in all, just a terrible experience, and I wish I'd never used them.

Losing sleep over the atrocious experience I’ve had with them Collective will mess up your books, file late and inaccurate tax returns and cost you a lot of money. It might seem like you’ll save money up front but it will cost you later. Don’t use this service!

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 😂😂😂

Great experience with Collective I have used them for over 2 years now and have been really happy with the help I have received whenever I have asked for it. My direct contact Matt is fantastic and always so helpful whenever I request a call, even with the most in depth questions that I come up with. My only con is that I wish I would have signed up with them earlier as they really do help me with managing the part of my business I don't know much about and help a ton with all of my tax planning and returns!

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.
