Jennings Tax Seminars

What Jennings Tax Seminars does

TaxSpeaker, formerly Jennings Tax Seminars, is a private for-profit Continuing Professional Education (CPE) provider headquartered in Jeffersonville, Indiana (4403 Hamburg Pike, Suite A), founded by Bob Jennings in 2004 after his prior employer was sold to a foreign Fortune 500 company. The company delivers tax, legal, and financial education to CPAs, Enrolled Agents, attorneys, and other tax professionals across all 50 U.S. states and several foreign countries, claiming to have trained over 100,000 tax professionals over two decades. TaxSpeaker holds IRS Sponsor ID 5KBKR and NASBA QAS Sponsor ID 108251, certifying it as an approved issuer of CPE credits accepted by state licensing boards and the IRS.

The core product surface spans live in-person seminars, live webinars delivered via Zoom, self-study courses, and structured CPE packages, taught by a roster of eight named instructors who maintain active tax practices and personally prepare over 100 returns annually. The company has expanded into recurring revenue products: the "Talking with TaxSpeaker" Q&A subscription, the "2026 Season Pass" annual subscription, and an AI-powered "Research Assistant" that performs knowledge retrieval across TaxSpeaker's proprietary manuals and IRS Forms. The Q&A service processes approximately 400-700 customer questions per month, indicating an engaged practitioner user base.

Revenue is generated through per-course fees, multi-course CPE packages, and recurring subscriptions, sold direct to individual practitioners and small accounting firms via firm-level CPE packages (200-1,000 hours). The firm operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees, has not raised external funding, and has no disclosed M&A activity; growth has been entirely organic and reinvested from operating cash flow.
