About Our Firm

Emerald Coast Accounting and Tax Services, LLC started as a dream of a mother and daughter team to open a firm that could provide affordable, friendly services to all levels of businesses in the community.  That dream became a reality in the fall of 2002 and has expanded to service not only the local community, but anyone in need of assistance throughout the United States.  We pride ourselves in being ethical as well as providing knowledgeable advice to our customers as their needs see fit.  Our customers are more than clients they are friends. 

Although our ECATS team has grown over the years, we have specifically chosen staff members that hold the same values of integrity, honesty, friendly warmth, and customer service. Our team is dedicated to helping you succeed. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide accurate and affordable accounting and tax support services to our customers.  We provide these services with a dedication to the highest quality of customer satisfaction delivered with a sense of integrity, honesty and friendly warmth.
