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!

It doesn't get easier than this Collective is a lifesaver for my small business. If you've ever found yourself confused or intimidated by taxes, payroll or your decision to go full-monty on the LLC/S-Corp designation, Collective is the partner you're looking for. They'll hold your hand from start to finish, and their dashboard tools make everything seamless. It's worth every penny, I swear!

A trusted partner I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Collective. They've been like a trusted partner that helped make the confusing, complicate process of forming a company into a breeze. They made the timeline easy to understand and made expectations clear every step of the way. I appreciated how they broke the process into manageable, bite-sized chunks. I never felt overwhelmed. Instead I just had a thing or two to accomplish each day during on-boarding. Every member of the team, from on-boarding to my accounting professionals, has been knowledgeable and professional. I'm very happy that I chose to work with them!

Stay far away... If you're a creator, stay far away from Collective. Their service is unreliable, and it's impossible to get ahold of one person who is actually able to get anything done. During sales calls, I was promised their tax service would be prompt. I gave them everything they needed mid-Jan and explained I was pregnant (due Apr 1st), so I needed my business tax return ASAP. I was promised it would be prioritized. Instead, it's been over a month, I've been passed around to about a dozen different people, and I still have yet to receive anything I need. Communication is slow. Their dashboard is buggy and annoying to use. I've also received emails from them with other business financial data, so their privacy and security are also major concerns. As a business owner, I don't like having my time wasted. The whole point of turning to this service was to save me time. Instead, I've quadrupled the number of hours I'm spending on the financial side of things because I have to waste so much time chasing them to get anything done. All in all, just a terrible experience, and I wish I'd never used them.

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.
