For over 25 years, Taxes Etc has been more than just a tax office — it has been a trusted part of the South Shore community. What started in mid-2001 as a small hometown business built by Ralph and Kim has grown through hard work, personal relationships, and a commitment to treating every client like family.
Ralph was born in Tampa, grew up locally in the South Shore area, proudly served as a veteran, and still has deep roots right here in Ruskin. In fact, the salon located next door to the office was Ralph's childhood home — a reminder of just how connected the business is to the community it serves.
Kim has been part of Taxes Etc since day one and now focuses heavily on payroll services, accounting, bookkeeping, and helping local business owners stay organized year-round. Veronica, our office manager, has been with Taxes Etc since 2011 and is also an experienced tax preparation professional who works hard to help clients maximize deductions, save money wherever possible, and feel comfortable throughout the tax process.
At Taxes Etc, clients are never treated like just another number. Whether you need personal tax preparation, business tax services, payroll support, bookkeeping, or guidance for a growing company, our team takes pride in offering honest advice, personalized service, and a welcoming hometown atmosphere you can trust.
