Built on Tax. Since 1997.
Long before tax software and electronic filing, returns were prepared by hand, in pencil, line by careful line. That is how our founder, John L. Hoffmann, was already reporting to the government on behalf of his clients.
When he opened Independence Financial Services in 1997, tax preparation was the foundation everything else was built on. It still is. Across nearly three decades, we have prepared and filed thousands of returns for individuals, families, and businesses across New Jersey, and we have built a proven track record of doing right by the people who trust us with one of the most important documents they sign all year.
The tools have changed. The standard has not. Every return that leaves this office is prepared with the same care that a pencil and a steady hand once demanded, and reviewed by a licensed professional who stands behind it.
