About JT Tax & Accounting

Our Story

Founded in Scranton, Pennsylvania, JT Tax & Accounting was established with a clear vision: to provide dependable, personalized financial services for individuals and small businesses in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Over the past decade, we have grown from a small local practice into a trusted regional firm known for accuracy, integrity, and exceptional client service.

Our journey began with a simple understanding that every client has unique financial needs and goals. We recognized that many individuals and small businesses in Scranton and surrounding areas were underserved by large, impersonal accounting firms that treated clients as numbers rather than people. We set out to change that by building relationships based on trust, transparency, and personalized attention.

As our client base expanded throughout Lackawanna County, Luzerne County, and Wyoming County, we maintained our commitment to individualized service. We take pride in being accessible, responsive, and deeply invested in the financial success of our neighbors. Whether you're a first-time taxpayer, a growing small business, or someone navigating complex financial situations, we provide the guidance and support you need.

Our Scranton-based office allows us to provide face-to-face service with the personal touch that online-only services cannot match. We understand the local economy, the challenges faced by Pennsylvania businesses, and the specific tax considerations that affect residents of our region. This local expertise, combined with professional accounting knowledge, ensures that our clients receive comprehensive, relevant financial advice.

Our Mission

At JT Tax & Accounting, our mission is to empower clients with clear, accurate financial guidance that helps them make informed decisions and achieve their financial objectives. We are committed to reducing tax burdens through legitimate planning strategies, simplifying complex accounting processes, and fostering long-term financial success for individuals and businesses throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania.

We believe that financial literacy and proper tax planning should be accessible to everyone, not just large corporations. Our approach is educational—we don't just prepare tax returns; we help clients understand their financial situation, identify opportunities for improvement, and plan for the future. We aim to be your trusted financial partner for years to come, providing consistent, reliable service through every stage of your financial journey.
