ATAX continues to astonish the accounting and tax preparation industry with its resounding ascent to prominence.

The 2015 tax season proved to be another opportunity for the award-winning tax preparation, bookkeeping and payroll services company to showcase the momentum it has created with the U.S. individual and small business customer base that it Announced today, the 2015 tax season was ATAX's strongest since it began franchising in 2007.

"We're an inspired organization, and it is reflecting in how our clients are gravitating towards us annually in larger and larger numbers," said Rafael Alvarez, CEO and founder of ATAX, which he launched 30 years ago. "We have become the preferred provider of tax returns, bookkeeping and payroll services for our customers because of the way we treat them.

As part of the more than 16 percent overall increase in the number of returns prepared in 2015, the company also reported increases of:  More than 19 percent in bank product returns  More than 6 percent in corporate tax returns These increases significantly surpass industry averages and those that many of the largest direct competitors have reported for 2015.
