About TaxValet
We're not just a tax company. We're an emotions company. We believe that the work we do is a reflection of our higher purpose in life. And if the work isn't fulfilling and enjoyable, what's the point?

As a certified B-Corporation, TaxValet is committed to using business as a force for good. This means we consider the impact of our decisions on our team, clients, community, and environment. We're also a "give 1%" organization, dedicating 1% of profit, employee time, and service time to nonprofits.
We are a core-value-driven business. That means we hire, promote, and reward based on alignment with our core values:

• Feel It: We value connecting with the real emotions and experiences of others. We also value respectfully sharing our own real emotions and experiences with others.
• Shape It: We proactively contribute our ideas and talents by speaking up, challenging the status quo, and taking calculated risks to shape our future.
• Own It: We take full responsibility for our actions, decisions, and outcomes. We use both successes and failures as opportunities for growth, openly sharing lessons learned.
• Crush It: We relentlessly pursue exponential impact in our business and life.
• Question It: Be curious. Ask questions. Seek clarity in the pursuit of continuous improvement and excellence. Create a culture of fearless inquiry.
