Collins Consulting celebrating 55 years
January 31, 2025
Founded in 1970 by Norm Collins, Collins Consulting has flourished over the past five and a half decades. What began with a single payroll and accounting client soon evolved into a trailblazer in the industry. Collins Consulting led the way in innovation, producing its first computer-generated tax return in 1988 and pioneering e-filing in 1995. In 2000, Norm Collins made the pivotal decision to leave the corporate world and dedicate himself fully to the business. This moment marked the beginning of a new era of growth and success.
By 2005, Collins Consulting hired its first employee, Justin Horton, and by 2018, the company had grown to four full-time employees and numerous seasonal tax staff. That same year, Collins Consulting merged with TS Banking Group, further cementing its leadership in the industry. Today, the company has eight full-time employees and four seasonal team members, managing an impressive average of 2,500 tax returns annually. Additionally, Collins Consulting serves over 60 full-service clients, including payroll, accounting, and tax services, and supports 180+ payroll clients with direct deposit options.
Beyond core services, Collins Consulting has expanded its expertise to include tax and business structure consulting, along with investment opportunities through TS Prosperity Group. As the company celebrates its 55th anniversary in 2025, it remains a testament to Norm Collins's vision and dedication, continuing to deliver exceptional service and innovative solutions for clients.
What started as a personal mission to help others with their taxes has grown into a thriving team of passionate professionals. The Collins Consulting family now includes Justin Horton, Moriah Bees, Brandon Green, Lindsay Anderson, Patty Schoening, Patty Fleming and Dean Hansen, along with a talented group of seasonal employees.
As proud southwest Iowa natives, we cherish this area and the communities we serve. Collins Consulting is actively involved in local events like the Carson Rodeo Hospitality Tent, Treynor Homecoming, Farmer’s Market outings, Treynor Days and more! A favorite tradition is hosting a free Shred Day open to the public. Mark your calendar for this year’s event on Saturday, May 3, 2025.
At Collins Consulting, relationships are at the heart of it all. The team is dedicated to providing close, personal attention to clients, simplifying taxes for thousands of individuals and businesses. Join us as we commemorate 55 years of service and commitment to southwest Iowa.
