Home of the Certified Tax & Business Advisor

Most tax professionals focus on compliance – putting the right numbers in the right boxes. While that work is essential, it doesn’t help you actually pay less in taxes. That’s why Edward Lyon, after decades of helping clients optimize their tax strategy, partnered with Excel Empire to create the Certified Tax and Business Advisor (CTBA) program. This elite certification equips advisors with specialized training to go beyond basic compliance and help clients legally minimize their tax burden through proactive planning.
