About this course
SBA Mastery Certification in Broker Tax Analysis teaches SBA brokers how to read, interpret, and analyze tax returns the way underwriting does. Brokers learn to identify cash-flow strength, red flags, valid add-backs, and SBA-specific eligibility considerations — so every file they package is stronger and better aligned with what a lender is actually looking for.
The certification moves through four stages: reading tax documentation like an underwriter, identifying income sources and add-backs that hold up under scrutiny, understanding how entity structure and ownership affect eligibility, and turning all of it into a lender-ready narrative. Every lesson includes a hands-on activity built from real file scenarios — not theory — and the certification closes with a full capstone case study.
Finish the certification and earn your SBA Mastery Certification in Broker Tax Analysis — the same standard you'll apply to every file from here on. Continue your training inside SBA Mastery for Brokers, or explore additional programs at SBA Mastery Academy.
