About Us
Meet Higher View Legacies
Higher View Legacies is the team behind LyveTax Software, built by Co-CEOs Michael Bannerman and Julius Ruffin to help tax preparers stop trading time for money under someone else's EFIN and start building a business they actually own.
Why We Do This
Too many tax preparers do the work but never see the upside — losing 30–50% of every return to a service bureau or ERO while carrying all of the effort. Higher View Legacies exists to close that gap: we hand preparers the software, the systems, and the support to run their own virtual tax office and keep what they earn.
