Many, instead, launch a business in pursuit of self-fulfillment, independence, personal satisfaction and even necessity.

The second annual State of the Field Report

If you’re like us, tax season has completely consumed you. And if you’re reading this, you’ve probably only got a few minutes before something else pops up – just enough time to think about 2011 and all we’ve done together.  NCTC is proud to release our 2011 State of the Field Report, highlighting the success our field shared together last year.

More than ever, our members in the community tax preparation and asset building field have collectively improved the lives of our clients. Whether preparing a simple tax return, opening a bank account, filling out a FAFSA or screening for benefit eligibility, each and every client is closer to financial stability than when they walked in the door.

Despite the overwhelming challenges, we improved in nearly every conceivable category.
