What Tax Rep Network does

Tax Rep Network is a membership-based education and training organization serving tax professionals — primarily CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and attorneys — who practice in IRS tax representation and controversy work. Founded and led by Eric L. Green, an attorney with more than 26 years of experience in tax resolution, the firm delivers specialized training in IRS collection, audit defense, innocent spouse, and other representation disciplines through workshops, seminars, CPE/CE-bearing webinars, an annual IRS Representation Conference (now in its 13th year), and a long-running podcast exceeding 125 episodes. The Certified Tax Resolution Specialist (CTRC) credential, refreshed in 2024, anchors the membership ecosystem alongside a members-only practitioner community.

The company's newest product layer is TRN Core Brain, an AI-powered knowledge retrieval and consultation system launched in April 2026 that draws on 700+ vetted Q&As across 13+ tax resolution disciplines to deliver case-specific guidance, monetized at $350-$750 per query. The broader revenue stack combines tiered annual memberships, CTRC certification fees, on-demand case consultations, AI-assisted consultations, webinar/CPE sales, conference attendance, and published books. Distribution is reinforced by a partnership with the National Association of Tax Professionals (signed October 2020) and adjacent collaborations including AI Agency Group and the affiliated law firm Green & Sklarz.

Operationally, Tax Rep Network is bootstrapped with no disclosed outside funding, headquartered in New Haven, and runs a hybrid content/community/AI-tools model under concentrated founder leadership. The business exhibits characteristics of a durable, cash-generating niche professional education franchise rather than a venture-scaled growth company.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Broad incumbents

• Bloomberg Tax & Accounting: A tax research and software provider covering federal, state, and international tax with practitioner-focused tools. Comparable to TRN as a Broad Incumbent in the tax professional education and research space, though at substantially larger scale and broader subject coverage.
• AICPA: The largest US CPA association, providing membership, certifications (CPA, CGMA), and a deep CPE catalog including tax courses. Comparable to TRN as the dominant incumbent membership-and-CPE model for the same CPA buyer, though AICPA operates across all accounting disciplines rather than specializing in tax resolution.
• Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting (CCH): A major tax-research, software, and compliance content provider (CCH, ProSystem fx, ATX) serving accounting firms. Comparable to TRN via its CPE Link and tax-research products, which compete for the same tax professional audience though CCH spans the broader tax workflow rather than just representation training.
• Thomson Reuters Tax & Accounting: Provider of tax research (Checkpoint), tax software (UltraTax, GoSystem), and tax-focused professional education for accounting firms. Comparable to TRN as a Broad Incumbent addressing the same tax professional buyer across research, software, and training.

Direct peers

• Surgent CPE: One of the largest CPE providers to tax and accounting professionals, offering self-study, webinars, and live events with subscription access. Directly comparable to TRN's subscription-based annual training model and NASBA-approved CPE delivery to the same buyer persona.
• Western CPE: A CPE provider offering self-study and webinar courses for accountants and tax professionals with NASBA sponsor status. Directly comparable to TRN as a recurring-revenue, online tax-CPE platform targeting the same professional development dollar.
• National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP): The largest US association serving tax professionals, offering education, certification-style credentials, and member resources. Comparable because TRN already partners with NATP for cross-promotion, and both monetize through membership plus tax-specific continuing education for the same CPA/EA/attorney buyer.
• CPAacademy.com: An online CPE and training provider targeted at CPAs and tax professionals, delivering live webinars and on-demand courses with NASBA-approved credit. Comparable to TRN as a digital-first tax/accounting CPE platform, competing for the same per-course and per-program training budget.
• CPE Link (CCH/Wolters Kluwer): An online CPE platform offering tax and accounting continuing education courses, operated by Wolters Kluwer's CCH tax franchise. Comparable to TRN as a subscription/wallet-based CPE provider with deep tax specialization, backed by a major tax-research incumbent.

Others

• The Woodard Report / Joe Woodard: A high-circulation newsletter and brand community for accounting and bookkeeping firm owners, explicitly referenced as adjacent to TRN's audience (100,000+ annual readers in accounting/bookkeeping). Comparable as an OTHERS ecosystem player because TRN leverages Woodard's brand authority for member marketing rather than competing directly for training revenue.
