Ralph and Kim started Taxes Etc in mid-2001 and have served the community ever since. Ralph was born in Tampa, grew up locally, is a veteran, and still has deep roots right here in Ruskin. Fun fact: the salon next door was Ralph's childhood home.
Kim has been part of the business since day one and now focuses on payroll, accounting, and support for business clients. Veronica, our office manager, has been with Taxes Etc since 2011 and is also a tax preparation professional who works hard to help clients save wherever possible.
