About Us
Founded in 2021, Taxster was created to fill a critical gap in the market: delivering specialized tax services with a client-first approach. Recognizing that many businesses lacked access to high-quality, expert-driven support for complex tax credits and incentives, the founders launched Taxster as a boutique firm focused exclusively on these areas—while seamlessly complementing a company’s existing CPA relationship.
​
Taxster partners with businesses of all sizes to provide expert guidance on R&D tax credits, energy incentives, cost segregation studies, and other specialty tax services. As an independent specialty firm, Taxster is uniquely positioned to offer personalized, high-impact solutions without disrupting existing financial partnerships.
Committed to transparency and proactive service, Taxster keeps clients informed of relevant tax law changes and evolving opportunities—ensuring they stay compliant and fully benefit from available incentives. With a mission to make sophisticated tax strategies accessible to all companies—not just large corporations—Taxster brings clarity, compliance, and confidence to the tax incentive process.
