Watch Phuc explain why Level Up Quest was created and how it helps tax professionals move from learning tax strategies to confidently applying them with clients.

Level Up Quest - Overview
Sound Familiar?

What's Holding You Back From Advisory?

If any of these hit home, you’re in the right place. These are the challenges Level Up Quest is designed to help tax professionals and firm owners work through.

You're the bottleneck. Every question, every client decision flows through you and only you.

You want advisory services but don't know how to price, introduce, or implement them.

You know tax, but you don't always feel confident giving advice. You understand the strategy, but you're not always sure when it applies, what to recommend, or how to explain it to the client.

You want to grow your firm and take more off your plate, but your team needs the training and confidence to lead client conversations without everything coming back to you.

Knowing the tax rule doesn't automatically mean knowing how to explain it, recommend it, or implement it with a client.

You know advisory could create more value for clients, but you don’t yet have a repeatable process for delivering it.

These are exactly the kinds of challenges we work on inside Level Up Quest.

Who Is Level Up Quest For?

For Tax Professionals & Team Members

Stop Being the Bottleneck of Your Own Firm.

A tax firm cannot scale advisory if every important client conversation, strategy decision, review, and implementation step still depends on the owner. Level Up Quest helps you develop your people, not just your own tax knowledge, so your team can deliver advisory work with confidence.

✓
Develop Your People, Not Just YourselfGive your team the training and practice to identify opportunities, explain strategies clearly, participate in client conversations, and take on more advisory work.
✓
Get Out of the BottleneckBuild the people and systems that let advisory work move forward without every decision flowing through you.

Your Path Forward

Turn Tax Knowledge Into Advisory Skills You Can Use.

Level Up Quest is built around a simple idea: learning matters more when you can use it. Understand the concept, practice how to apply it, then bring it into real client conversations and your firm.

01

Learn

“I understand it.”

Build real understanding. Practical tax strategies explained in plain English, with visuals and real examples that make complex topics stick.

  • ✓ Plain-English explanations
  • ✓ Visuals and real examples
  • ✓ Practical training that sticks
02

Practice

“I can do it.”

Practice what you're learning. Work through realistic client scenarios the way you would need to handle them with a real client. Practice the questions, the explanation, and the decision, so you build confidence before it counts.

  • ✓ Realistic scenarios and client situations
  • ✓ Practice explaining strategies in plain English
  • ✓ Build confidence before a real client is counting on you
  • ✓ Interactive practice like the Practice Playground (Membership)
03

Apply

“I did it.”

Use it with real clients. Everything builds to this: a real conversation, with a real client, where you explain the strategy clearly and help move it into action.

  • ✓ Walk into client meetings with confidence
  • ✓ Have your visuals and recommendation ready
  • ✓ Explain the strategy in plain English
  • ✓ See the client understand and engage
  • ✓ Help move recommendations into action
  • ✓ Watch your team handle more on their own

This philosophy shapes everything inside Level Up Quest, whether you attend a focused Workshop or develop through Membership: understand it, practice it, then use it with real clients.

Phuc speaking - Founder of Level Up Quest
7-FigureFirm Exit
Your Mentor

I Built the Firm. Made the Mistakes. Now I Help You Learn Faster.

"I didn't have a mentor while I was building my firm. Looking back, I truly believe the right mentor could have helped me build a firm twice as big in half the time."

Building a 17-person firm taught me something most owners learn too late: growth isn't just about what the owner knows. It's about developing people who can think, communicate, and serve clients with confidence. That's the work I do now.

I don't believe tax professionals need another library of information. They need a better way to understand it, practice it, and use it. That's why everything I teach is built around plain English, visuals, practice, client conversations, and implementation. Phuc Ly, EA, Founder of Level Up Quest.

That experience shaped how I built Level Up Quest. I want tax professionals to have the guidance, feedback, and perspective I wish I had while building my own firm, so they don't have to figure everything out alone.

Building a Firm Meant Building People

Some professionals who started and developed inside my firm later went on to larger roles, management positions, and entrepreneurial ventures.

Loc Nguyen, CPA

Joined Alpha B Group in 2020 with about nine months of tax experience. Four years of development under Phuc's mentorship. Went on to serve as an IRS income tax auditor and Tax Manager advising startup founders and venture-backed companies.

"What I appreciated most was that Phuc invested in people, not just results."

Sam

Joined Alpha B as a college student with no tax experience. Developed through Alpha B. Later built a career that included Avalara, Drizly, Uber, KPMG, Toast, and OpenAI.

"The opportunities, trust, mentorship, and experiences I gained there helped shape who I am today."

Workshops & Bootcamps

Prepare for the Client Situation Before It Happens.

A client brings you a situation. You may know the tax law involved. The harder question is whether you are prepared to guide the conversation.

Level Up Quest Workshops & Bootcamps are focused training built around a specific tax topic, professional skill, advisory conversation, or client situation. In a Workshop, you work through the situation the way you would need to with a real client.

✓Recognize what matters in the situation, not just the tax rule behind it.
✓Know what questions to ask before giving advice.
✓Evaluate options and tradeoffs the way a client needs to hear them.
✓Explain concepts in plain English so the client can follow and decide.
✓Practice before it counts through scenarios, exercises, and discussion.
✓Know what happens next and how to move the client forward.

For example: the CHILD Framework Workshop

Your client says: “We’re expecting a baby. What should we be thinking about for taxes?” Now what?

In this Workshop, you work through what matters, what to ask, what to explain, what to evaluate, and how to guide the conversation, so you are prepared before a real client asks. One example. Workshops can cover other tax topics, professional skills, and client situations.

No Level Up Quest Membership is required to attend. Format and activities vary by offering, and pricing varies by Workshop.

See What Happens When Learning Becomes Action

Level Up Quest isn't designed to stop at understanding tax rules. The goal is to help members understand the strategy, build confidence, and use what they've learned in the real world.

Knowledge Isn’t the Finish Line

Implementation Is Where the Value Happens.

Knowing the tax strategy is only the beginning. The real value comes when you have the confidence to explain it, recommend it, and help the client put it into action.

Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Level Up Quest is for tax professionals who want to become more confident advisors, including firm owners, solo practitioners, and tax professionals working on a team. Firm owners can also use Level Up Quest to develop their people so more of the team can confidently handle client conversations and advisory work. Your role doesn’t determine your membership. You can use focused Workshops & Bootcamps for a specific need, or Membership for ongoing development throughout the year.
Passive ($99/month) is for independent, self-paced learning. Active ($199/month) includes everything in Passive plus the live Level Up Quest experience, including Weekly Sprints, live mentorship, practice, feedback, and implementation support. If you want to learn on your own schedule, choose Passive. If you’re ready to participate, practice, ask questions, and make changes now, Active is designed for that.
That’s okay. You don’t have to attend every Weekly Sprint to get value from Active. Even if you join one or two Sprints a month, you’re getting live mentorship, real-world discussions, practice, feedback, and the opportunity to work through questions with the group, on top of everything included in Passive. The Weekly Sprint is the heart of Active, so join live whenever you can. When you can’t make it, recordings are available upon request.
Many Level Up Quest courses are eligible for NASBA-approved CPE and IRS-approved CE, and qualifying courses are clearly marked. The focus is practical training you can use, with CPE/CE available where applicable.
For Active members, specialized workshops may be included or discounted depending on the workshop. Passive members purchase workshops separately, but receive early access to register before workshops are opened more broadly.
No. Workshops and Bootcamps are standalone. You do not need to be a Level Up Quest member to attend. You can attend only Workshops, join only Membership, or use both.
Pricing varies by Workshop or Bootcamp. Explore the current Workshops page to see what is available and the pricing for each offering.
No. You don’t need to already have an advisory service in place. Level Up Quest helps you build the knowledge, confidence, client-conversation skills, and practical experience to begin doing more advisory work with your clients.
No. Tax strategies are an important part of Level Up Quest, but they’re only part of what we work on. We also focus on client conversations, pricing, practice, implementation, and how to build, grow, and run a more efficient tax firm. The goal isn’t simply to know more tax. It’s to become a better advisor and build a stronger firm.
No. Both Passive and Active are month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime.
