Hey family and friends—and if we haven’t met, I’m Karen Raymond. Many of you know me as Karen Benson, or just KB from 24th and Market Street in Wilmington, Delaware. ❤️
I’ve been in the tax business for over a decade, but I’ve never really told you how I got started. I believe now is the time.
Twenty-one years ago, I moved to Atlanta to start a new life. It’s been a walk of faith, with plenty of obstacles along the way. And somewhere in that journey, I found something that would become my business.
In 2011, I started preparing taxes for friends and family for free. In 2015, after my bankruptcy was discharged, I started KB Professional Tax Service with just $50.
I didn’t start with a lot of money or everything figured out. I started with what I had, kept learning, and kept going.
While building this business, life kept happening too. Preparing for marriage, becoming a wife three years ago, and growing into that role have been a journey of their own. I’m still learning, but I’m proud that I didn’t give up.
Today, I still help people with personal and small-business taxes. Now I want to help others learn how to prepare taxes and take steps toward building their own business.
That’s why I’m offering training, business coaching, and mentorship starting October 15. I want to share what I’ve learned and help you get started, just like I once had to start.
If you’ve been saying, “I’m gonna do it,” “I should’ve done it,” or “Maybe next year”—I know that feeling. I’ve been there.
You don’t have to follow my exact path, but you do have to take your first step. If learning tax preparation or starting a tax business has been on your mind, message me. Let’s talk about where you can begin.
