Intervaris embeds a senior tax manager inside your firm — an Intervaris Manager — backed by a pod, standardized methodology, and continuity infrastructure that no individual hire can replicate. Less operational risk, higher review quality, and the senior capacity to actually grow. At roughly half the cost of a W-2 hire.

Same senior talent.

More than a hire

A senior manager on retainer.

The mistake most firms make is treating outside help as overflow — a stranger handed a return at midnight in March. Intervaris is the opposite. Three things every firm gets the day the engagement starts.

01 — Methodology

Built-in review system.

Preparer checklist, manager checklist, and a structured review deliverable. Proven methodology your Intervaris Manager deploys on day one — not something you build, document, or train.

02 — Pod network

Continuity, not just talent.

Your Intervaris Manager doesn't have to know every edge case — they have nine senior peers to ask. The pod documents firm-specific protocols, so coverage steps in with context, not from zero.

03 — Proven model

Built where it's used.

The methodology was built inside the co-founder's own CPA practice — and used to scale that firm to ~$1M in three years at 70%+ margins. You're not a pilot. You're plugging into infrastructure that's already running.

◆ Peak · Jan–Apr & Aug–Oct

Review throughput mode.

20 hrs/wk dedicated to your queue. Heads-down, moving returns efficiently with Intervaris's structured review methodology. Partners stop reviewing returns at midnight.

◇ Off-peak · May–Jul & Nov–Dec

Senior judgment mode.

10 hrs/wk on high-judgment work. Form 3115, cost seg support, partnership research, technical memos, edge-case situations — the work that previously meant calling a partner.

"We have turned away candidates with tax director level titles at top-10 national firms because they couldn't pass our technical evaluation. Most firms don't even run this evaluation — they're afraid to lose a candidate with a top resume."
The founding cohort

Twenty firms.
Onboarded together.
January 2027.

We're deliberately capping the first cohort at 20 firms. The point isn't to launch big — it's to onboard every founding firm well, lock pricing for the people who back this early, and protect the Intervaris Manager experience that makes the model work.

If your firm is a fit, the next step is a short application and a 30-minute conversation. There's no obligation, and warm referrals reach us directly.
