Meet the Owner...
Alvin B. Creswell is the owner and founder of Urban Tax & Accounting Services, LLC (formally Urban Tax Services). He was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Alvin is a graduate of Jackson State University (BA) and Johns Hopkins University (MBA). He was excited to start Urban Tax Services, LLC over 15 years ago and still excited to this day.
Alvin started UTAS with the sole purpose of saving hard working individuals from paying ridiculous tax preparation fees. Straight out of college with his first "real" job, he was paying one of the larger companies to prepare his taxes. They hit him with a balance due on his tax return then a $320 preparation fee. First thought as he ate ramen noodles the next day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner..."this isn't going to work". His next thought was "I can do this, provide superior services, and knock 30 - 60% off those crazy fees."
Long story short, Alvin started with 8 very trusting family members and friends. Currently, UTAS has completed thousands of returns and served hundreds of clients. This has allowed him to expand into Accounting, Bookkeeping, and Payroll for small businesses, real estate as well as other small business ventures.
It has been exciting for him over the years meeting and working with so many new people. Alvin truly enjoys being able to offer people an affordable alternative to overpriced firms. He looks forward to meeting even more people and bringing more smiles to faces as he provides them with superior services.
