A message from our founder

Personal service has been our foundation since day one.

When I opened Creative Tax Services in 2010, it was a few desks, a phone, and a promise to treat every client's finances as carefully as my own. That promise hasn't changed.

Whether you're filing your first return, growing a company, or applying for certification, you'll work with people who know your history and take the time to explain your options.

Our story

A few desks, a phone, and a commitment to every client.

This photo shows our first office in December 2010, the year Creative Tax Services opened its doors. The desks and filing stacks have changed since then. Our approach has not: careful preparation, plain explanations, and the same people answering your questions year after year.
