“As a three-time cancer survivor, I founded TaxValet with a mission that transcends profit,” said Alex Oxford, Founder. “Achieving B Corp certification with a score of 91 is a testament to our commitment to using business as a force for good. Our strong performance in the Workers category reflects our dedication to our team’s well-being and development. This certification is not just an accolade; it’s a responsibility we take seriously.”
