ABOVE & BEYOND

Now, more than ever, an ACAT credential will help tax preparers stand out and apart from the crowd. Taxpayers can be assured that anyone holding an ACAT credential is far more skilled and experienced than 'minimally competent' paid preparers. ACAT's earned credentials demonstrate professional knowledge, competency and a mastery of accounting and tax procedures and practices well ABOVE & BEYOND the IRS minimum competency requirement.

Enhance your credibility, reliability and professionalism by holding out your earned ACAT credentials for public awareness and professional reliability as being ABOVE & BEYOND.

ACAT confers four credentials and the following three exams will be offered at PSI/Lasergrade computer-based exam facilities across the United States.
