The Calyx Service Provider Program is a low-cost tax and accounting resource for people who serve other people.
The purpose of the program is to educate small service-based business owners on how to start a business and stay in compliance with the Federal and State tax authorities without having to pay for a high-priced account.
Justin Botillier –Co-Founder and CEO of Calyx CPA
Justin Botillier is an Co-Founder and CEO of Calyx CPA with more than twenty years of experience advising entrepreneurs and small business owners. He is an expert in business consulting for service-based businesses, helping professionals who sell their personal services choose the right business structure, avoid costly pitfalls, mitigate tax liabilities, and optimize their business practices to set them up for success.While Justin’s one-on-one time as a consultant can be expensive, it has long been his dream to create a community where he can share this knowledge at a much lower cost. Through this initiative, he provides accessible guidance, practical workshops, and a supportive platform for service providers who want to confidently start, run, and grow their businesses.
Who this program is for:
This program is designed for owner-operators of service-based businesses who are building their work around their own time, skills, and expertise. It is especially suited for:• Businesses generating $250,000 or less in gross annual revenue
• Solo practitioners with a minimal number of employees other than the primary owner
• Independent professionals who want to understand and manage the essentials of taxes, compliance, and business operations without taking on the expense of a full-service accountant.If you’re a coach, consultant, facilitator, guide, therapist, creative, or any other service provider running your own business, this program was created with you in mind. It offers accessible tools, workshops, and community support to help you handle the business side of your practice so you can stay focused on the people you serve.
The program offers office hours with seasoned tax professionals, where members have the opportunity to submit questions and have those questions answered during a webinar. The webinars will be recorded and made available for other members of the program to access on demand.
The program offers DIY workshops so that new business owners can register their own business name with their state’s secretary of state, apply for a tax identification number with the IRS, establish and maintain business bookkeeping records, elect to be taxed as an S Corporation, and even file their own business and personal tax returns. In addition to these workshops we intend to teach them all about starting and owning a small business, how to avoid pitfalls when trying to stay in compliance with the taxing authorities.
Members have access to a community forum where they can post questions and share experiences. This peer element can drive engagement and allow members to help each other.

Please consider joining now to take advantage of our very first Office Hours and DIY Workshop:
At Calyx, our services are typically built for more complexity, and our minimum price point is often out of reach for small, independent providers. This reality, combined with popular demand, has inspired us to create the Calyx Service Provider Program, a way to provide practitioners with access to our expertise at a fraction of the cost. Instead of one-to-one services, this program delivers guidance in a group format through office hours, workshops, and a growing knowledge base.
