An absolute must!! ABSOLUTELY love everything collective has done (and continues to do!) for my business. My only regret is not working with them sooner–I can't tell you how much stress they've relieved!

The most patient, helpful team! As a graphic designer, I am the first to admit that I would rather focus my time on creative projects than bookkeeping and taxes. Outsourcing those tasks to Collective the last couple years has been one of my best business decisions. It gave me time back to focus on the parts of my business I LOVE, while knowing that all of my business financial ducks are in a row with Collective managing it all. Their team of experts is so incredibly patient with all of my questions and helped me form my LLC/S Corp seamlessly. I have had the best experience with their services and highly recommend them to any small business soloprenuer. 100% worth the investment.

A trusted partner I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Collective. They've been like a trusted partner that helped make the confusing, complicate process of forming a company into a breeze. They made the timeline easy to understand and made expectations clear every step of the way. I appreciated how they broke the process into manageable, bite-sized chunks. I never felt overwhelmed. Instead I just had a thing or two to accomplish each day during on-boarding. Every member of the team, from on-boarding to my accounting professionals, has been knowledgeable and professional. I'm very happy that I chose to work with them!

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.

Optimized the way I do business Collective has taken a huge burden off my shoulders and saved my business quite a bit of money. Look money isn't my strong suit (other than making it), and to know I'm in good hands is :chefs kiss:. It allows me to focus on the more important things in business.
