Grow Tax
Tax-pro intake OS (not tax advice).
How we got these numbers
Every figure is computed from the inputs below — the same top-down + stated-fraction methodology the product applies, with the arithmetic left visible.
| Step | Formula | Result | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAM (anchor) | Public analyst anchor (2025) | $8B | IBISWorld / Statista — Tax Preparation Services (rounded) — US tax preparation services industry revenue is estimated in the low tens of billions; the addressable slice for practice-management and intake tooling is a high-value vertical — rounded to $8B. |
| SAM (serviceable) | $8B × 3% | $240M | Tax professionals and small practices seeking structured intake, workflow, and client-data capture rather than generic CRM or paper forms. |
| SOM (obtainable) | $240M × 0.8% | $1.9M | Vertical workflow product; organic search within tax-pro community + portfolio cross-traffic, ~3-year horizon. |
| Customer framing | $1.9M ÷ ($49/mo × 12) | ≈ 3,300 customers | What the obtainable estimate means at the reference price of $49/month. |
Share-of-market framing
What small, plausible shares of the serviceable market translate to in annual revenue.
| Share of SAM | Annual revenue | Vs. obtainable estimate |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1% | $240K | below the $1.9M SOM estimate |
| 0.5% | $1.2M | below the $1.9M SOM estimate |
| 1% | $2.4M | above the $1.9M SOM estimate |
Willingness to pay
Curve generated by the product's WTP simulator around the stated price inputs. Model output for orientation — not survey data. Modeled optimal band: $34–$64/mo around the $49/mo reference price.

Opportunity signals
- Tax season compresses client intake into a few frantic months; structured digital intake reduces errors and no-shows.
- Many solo and small tax practices still use email/PDF intake — a gap for purpose-built tooling.
- 'Not tax advice' positioning keeps the product in the workflow layer, not the advice layer.
Risks & pain points
Demand spikes Jan–Apr; retention through the off-season is unproven for a workflow tool.
Tax software already has many integrations; adding another tool faces resistance unless it clearly saves time.
