New Expresstax Office Opens in Stone Mountain

News Release

Stone Mountain, Ga. (February 16, 2010) — A new Expresstax franchise office has opened at 2536 Rockbridge Rd. in Stone Mountain.

“We chose to join Expresstax because it gave us the best opportunity for growth and the company required a low franchisee fee to get started,” said operations manager Kim Slocum. “While this is our busiest time of year, our office will continue to offer tax services year-round.”

The franchise is owned by Slocum, Dean & Associates.

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.
