Merchant Accounts for Accounting and Tax Services
An Overview
SoarPay offers credit card processing solutions for accounting and tax service business.
Why We Proudly Offer Solutions for Accounting and Tax Service Businesses (When Many Other Processors Don’t)
Individuals and businesses often need accounting and tax services, which makes it a fantastic industry for entrepreneurs with accounting and tax knowledge to service. Unfortunately, many processors hesitate to accept all the various types of businesses offering accounting and tax services.
This is for three primary reasons:
- First – Many accounting and tax service businesses may want to offer services and process credit cards over the phone or online. These “card not present” transactions present a higher risk profile than some processors and banks are willing to work with.
- Second, accounting and tax businesses have a moderately high chargeback rate, due to some customers being frustrated with not getting tax refunds they expected, or feeling they owe too much in taxes (situations often completely outside the control of the tax business).
- Third, some businesses offering accounting and tax services may sell software, or other associated tools for accounting and taxes. A smaller number of these are “bad apple accounting businesses” that don’t have licenses to sell software, or commit other types of fraud and give the industry as a whole a bad name.
Due to these three risks, many merchant services providers decline to accept any tax or accounting business, whether they operate as an online store, a physical retailer, or even a manufacturer, wholesaler, or distributor.
Soar Payments, by contrast, has consistently offered solutions for the accounting and tax industry since our founding. Our extensive relationships with credit card processors and sponsor banks who have the capability to underwrite regulated industries, in addition to our integration of chargeback and fraud prevention software, uniquely positions Soar Payments to provide retail and online businesses with stable, effective, long term credit card processing solutions.

Do you accept businesses that sell accounting and tax software?
