About Us

You can rely on Reliance Accounting

Reliance prides itself on outstanding customer service. We respond quickly to client’s questions. Our goal at Reliance is a 24 hour turnaround on tax questions and a three day turnaround on tax returns (for corporate and drop off individual returns). We strive to stay current on all tax laws so that your tax returns are prepared accurately and no legal deduction is missed.

Reliance offers its clients flexibility

Reliance will prepare your individual tax return while you wait. Clients can also drop off individual tax returns and have their returns prepared within three business days. Tax return information can also be mailed to our office. In terms of payment, as a service to our clients, we accept Discover, Visa and Mastercard.

The key to any service organization is its employees. Our employees have a wide range of accounting and financial experience:
