HUGE mistake using Collective - avoid at all costs Using Collective has been by far the biggest tax mistake I've made for my business. I've lost a large portion of my income due to straight up bad advice that Collective provided me with and took no accountability for. They are impossible to communicate with, don't give clear or timely answers, and consistently make mistakes. This is the last thing I wanted to deal with when running a business, this company is borderline fraudulent and I'm considering legal action it's so disastrous. I still can't get a response from them.

They canceled my memberships after 3… They canceled my memberships after 3 months ( got 1 free month because of the Black Friday deal ), but they didn't do the onboarding process till January, and the person who did the onboarding said that they were too new to help me because I have both 1099 and W2, so she said she'll cancel my membership and referred me to try using another company. Since they took the money out of my bank account, so I asked for a refund. I did get 1 month only but I was supposed to get 2 months because they were supposed to let me know the first place before I signed up. This morning I was still trying to get my refund for another month since they never helped me anyway and guess what?? No one cares enough to reply to my email or answer my chat on their Instagram! Don’t fall for anything they promise you to do, you wasting your time and money and yet, they ignore you when you are trying to speak up!

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.

Highly recommend Collective for creative small businesses! Collective has helped get my business in shape with LLC filing, taxes, bookkeeping and more (like payroll!). They always keep me updated on deadlines and organized with their portal.
