News Release

Elk Grove, Calif. (April 12, 2010) — Business owner Miguel Hurtado has become an Expresstax franchise, offering tax preparation service in addition to bookkeeping and payroll support from its offices at 9245 Laguna Springs Dr.

“We chose Expresstax because we like the product and the people behind it,” Hurtado said. “Also, it complemented the services we already provide for our customers.”

Bob Taylor, president of Jacksonville, Fla.-based Express Tax Service, Inc., says its franchise is unique: offering the opportunity to co-locate a seasonal tax operation within an existing business.

“An Expresstax franchise can operate as a stand-alone tax service or offer tax preparation in addition to other core services,” Taylor said. “Our franchisees are trained in all aspects of the tax business and their customers have the security of knowing their tax preparer is staying abreast of changes in IRS rules and regulations every year though their Expresstax affiliation.”

Express Tax Service, Inc., headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, has been helping taxpayers since 1997, offering tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll services nationwide through a network of nearly 300 franchise locations. Entrepreneur Magazine ranked Expresstax the 17th fastest-growing franchise operation in the U.S., 19th among low-cost franchises and 77th in the Franchise 500.
