History
The Accounting Factor (TAF), started in 2007 as a Franchisee of EXPRESSTAX. During this time, EXPRESSTAX focuses on Income Tax Preparation and built their customer base on Customer Service and quick turnaround time on tax preparation. As EXPRESSTAX grew, so did the demand in other Accounting Services. This demand resulted in The Accounting Factor being born in 2012.
Peng Lim, founder of The Accounting Factor, closed down EXPRESSTAX and started TAF. With the transition, TAF is now able to offer tax planning, tax resolution, entity creation, bookkeeping, and payroll.
Originally, TAF was set-up as an in-office style model; however, with the change of the times, TAF is now able to conduct all appointments virtually over the phone, online, or in-person.
