A Message from the Owner
My name is Kim West Padgitt. I grew up surrounded by entrepreneurs and have been one for most of my adult life. Because of that experience, I understand the hard work, responsibility, and uncertainty that comes with owning a business.
The Tax Advantage provides tax planning and preparation, accounting, and consulting services to individuals and businesses. We work with our clients throughout the year—not simply at tax time—to help them understand their numbers, meet their tax responsibilities, and make informed business decisions.
We are committed to clear communication, practical guidance, and working hard to support the success of every client we serve.
Have a productive day!
Kim West Padgitt, EA
