Merchant Account for Accounting & Tax Services (Instant Approval)

For accounting and tax firms, late payments and disputed transactions can drain time and revenue. Card-not-present fraud alone is responsible for nearly 70 percent of global card fraud losses, and it often hits businesses that rely on remote or invoice payments the hardest.

Get Paid Faster with Merchant Accounts Designed for Tax Services

At 2Accept, we understand the unique challenges accounting and tax professionals face. That’s why we offer merchant accounts tailored to your needs. Get approved in as little as 48 hours and start accepting payments seamlessly.

Our solutions include PCI-DSS compliance, support for credit cards, ACH, and recurring billing, as well as robust chargeback protection. With transparent pricing and dedicated support, we help you focus on your clients while we handle your payment processing needs.

Why Accounting & Tax Businesses Face Payment Processing Challenges

Traditional processors are built for retail, not for the high-risk, card-not-present environment of accounting and tax services. This disparity gives rise to unique challenges, including:

Chargeback Risks

Accounting and tax businesses often face disputes over fees or refunds, which can lead to costly chargebacks. Card-not-present payments are 81 percent more likely to be fraudulent than in-person transactions. Stolen data and the rise of remote payments make these chargebacks a real threat to both revenue and reputation.

Fraud Vulnerability

Online and phone-based payments expose businesses to higher fraud risks. Many traditional processors respond by rejecting applications or placing strict limits, leaving accounting firms without reliable payment solutions.

Subscription Revenue Disruptions

Expired cards, declined transactions, and other recurring billing issues can interrupt cash flow. These disruptions can result in significant revenue losses for firms and create frustration for clients on retainer or subscription plans.

Integration Complexities

Accounting software integration can be tricky. Limited IT resources often make it hard to connect payment processing with platforms like QuickBooks or Xero. Studies show that these technical hurdles reduce efficiency in SMEs, slowing down operations.

High Processing Fees

High transaction fees can erode profit margins, especially for firms that process large volumes of payments. Traditional processors often charge extra for riskier industries, such as accounting, making payment handling more expensive than it needs to be.
