Founder of OTB Tax recognized for transforming personal adversity into a multimillion-dollar mission that has helped entrepreneurs retain more than $25 million through strategic tax planning.
Greer, South Carolina. — Entrepreneur, bestselling author, and tax strategist Courtney Epps has been featured in a nationally published Inc. Magazine Custom Studio article highlighting her remarkable journey from losing everything to building one of the country’s most trusted tax strategy firms for entrepreneurs.
The feature, titled “This Founder Lost Everything—Then She Freed Up $25 Million for Business Owners,” chronicles Epps’ resilience after experiencing the devastating loss of a thriving 3,500-client accounting practice, a quarter-million dollars in debt, and a five-year noncompete agreement that prevented her from practicing accounting in her home state. Rather than allowing those setbacks to define her future, she rebuilt her business and her life, from the ground up. (Inc.com)
Today, as the founder of OTB Tax (Outside the Box Business Solutions) and the Tax Rebels education platform, Epps leads a multimillion-dollar accounting and tax strategy firm serving more than 3,000 clients annually. Her team specializes in helping entrepreneurs implement proactive tax strategies that legally reduce tax liability, allowing business owners to reinvest more capital into growth, employees, and their families. Collectively, OTB Tax has helped clients retain more than $25 million that would have otherwise been lost to unnecessary taxes.
“So many entrepreneurs work incredibly hard to build successful businesses, yet they’re unknowingly overpaying in taxes,” said Courtney Epps. “Our mission is to help business owners understand that the tax code rewards entrepreneurship. When we help them keep more of their money, they create more jobs, build stronger companies, and leave a greater legacy.”
Unlike traditional accounting firms that primarily focus on tax preparation, OTB Tax emphasizes year-round strategic planning designed to uncover opportunities many business owners never realize exist. The firm’s client-first approach has fueled its growth almost entirely through referrals and measurable client results rather than paid advertising.
The Inc. feature also highlights Epps’ commitment to creating a lasting family legacy. Several of her children now work alongside her in the business, reinforcing the values of entrepreneurship, stewardship, and generational wealth that she teaches clients every day.
Beyond her work with OTB Tax and Tax Rebels (https://taxrebels.com/), Epps is a sought-after keynote speaker and bestselling author who inspires audiences with her message that setbacks do not define success; resilience does. Her story demonstrates that some of the greatest breakthroughs emerge after life’s greatest challenges.
Being featured in Inc. Magazine further recognizes Courtney Epps as a leading voice in entrepreneurship, financial empowerment, and strategic business growth, while shining a national spotlight on the impact OTB Tax continues to have on business owners across the United States.
