Built on trust. Rooted in South Shore.
At Taxes Etc., we believe tax and accounting services should feel personal, honest, and built around real relationships — not just numbers on a screen. Since opening our doors in 2001, Ralph and Kim Martinez have proudly served the South Shore community, helping individuals, families, and small business owners navigate taxes, bookkeeping, payroll, and financial decisions with confidence.
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.
