Anyone who has had the experience of going through Alpha Launch understands the World of Bugs experience. When you terminate one bug it seems one hundred more come at you. It is a process you must persevere through and persevere through some more and then some. What has made the process enjoyable is our team working together expeditiously to find solutions to resolve each of these issues.

Let’s discuss the discoveries of the first ten tax professionals to Sign Up. We realized our Sign Up process was confusing and we wanted to simplify the steps further. The team sat down and weighed the issue which was the importance of a straightforward Sign Up process while also weighing the security features we have in place. Everyday a new issue is raised and our team finds the best possible solution. We have an internal system in place that allows us to sit down and talk about all these matters in a focused way. It really helps that we have very experienced team members with years of solid management experience leading our team in meaningful ways. What were are focused on now is debugging which takes much time to resolve than you possibly imagine.

Very truly yours,

The extraordinary Team at TaxConnections is what will define this talented organization! There are many characteristics of our successful start-up team that are important to consider. First, we all believe in the product and can  relate to it in some way because we all pay taxes. Secondly, the success of our team is largely made up of individuals who truly believe we will make a “ding in this world” as Steve Jobs would say. Thirdly, would be the opportunity to risk a time in your professional career to set into motion a solid financial future for yourself and your family. Lastly, never forget that word zeal mentioned in my first post which is the fearless tenacity of our team.

What is the cost and benefit of working for a start-up? Obviously, the compensation in a start-up offers little pay, lots of hours of work and then the unforeseen future of what your efforts will produce. However, those costs are outweighed by the ability to utilize our innate talents in creating a new and significant solution to an important problem in the world.

What goes on behind the scenes of a startup named TaxConnections is nothing short of amazingly pure zeal! If you look up the definition of zeal you will discover that it means fearless tenacity. The TaxConnections startup team has an abundance of this trait!

How did we start? We started with an understanding of what really goes on inside the minds of tax professionals with a wide range of tax expertise around the world. We started out with the understanding that consumers and tax professionals had a desire to find each other and interact more easily.

How did we obtain this knowledge? As CEO and Founder of TaxConnections, Kat Jennings spent three decades listening to more than five hundred thousand conversations with tax professionals around the world. She was hired by Fortune 500 multinationals to find the very best tax professionals and reduce the high corporate tax rates paid in the United States. She is the one person with a longstanding, worldwide track record in executive tax search.

As a globally recognized consultant to multinational organizations searching for tax professionals, Kat has been retained by law firms, international public accounting firms and corporations including Apple Computer, AC Neilson, Accenture, Agilent Technologies, Allergan, Alza, American Express, American Media, Aon, Baker & McKenzie, Barclays Bank, Bechtel, Cargill, Carl Zieuss Vision, Century Aluminum, Chevron, Clorox, Citigroup, Commercials Metals, Constellation Energy, Countrywide, Del Monte, Deloitte Touche, DFS, DLA Piper, E&J Gallo Winery, Electronic Arts, Ernst &Young, Fox Entertainment, Fremont Investments, General Electric, Herbalife, Hewlett Packard, Hyatt, Intel, Jones Lang LaSalle, Kimco Realty, KLA Tencor, Koch Industries, KPMG, Levi Strauss, Liberty Mutual, LKQ, Loews, Logitech, Lucas Film, Maersk, McKesson, Nalco, Newell Rubbermaid, Nissan, Oracle, Pacific Gas & Electric, PwC, QAD, SAIC, SanDisk, Sanmina, Sempra Energy, SONY, Synopsys, Ticketmaster, Trimble Navigation, Toyota, Univar, Wal-Mart, Wells Fargo, Vertex, Yahoo, Xilinx.

What was the goal of TaxConnections? We wanted to make it possible for all consumers to have the same access to a wide range of tax expertise that the multinationals have access to when searching for a tax professional. We wanted consumers to have the ability to instantly Find A Tax Professional and Ask Tax Questions all over the world. Thus we have created the very first interactive “Worldwide Directory of Tax Professionals”.

How did you build this website? We built it the same way that Kat learned how to build strong multinational tax organizations. We built this organization one person at a time by weaving together an extraordinary team who compliment each other and work well together towards a common goal. Everyone involved in the TaxConnections site wants to save you money! The energy around here is amazing as we are so very proud of the fact that we have built something that affects consumers worldwide.

Stay tuned as we are entering Alpha Launch this week and then Beta prior to our Official Launch Party on Saturday, March 31st, 2012 held at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, CA. We are going to help everyone with the TaxConnections website from the beginning of their tax careers to the retirement of their tax careers. We have created a way for everyone in the world to find the tax professional they are searching for and ask tax questions this very moment!

Very truly yours,

Team TaxConnections
