Una Inversión En Su Futuro

Over 800 Liberty Tax Professionals nationwide received the prestigious HISPANIC SERVICES SEAL OF EXCELLENCE certification.

(Virginia Beach, VA) Liberty Tax Service has made a commitment to the Latino community to provide them with service that is unmatched in the industry. To that end, we created a training program for our Franchisees that would teach them how to service the unique needs of the Hispanic client. The 22 week course includes instructions on culture, government and tax forms and the subtle proprieties relative to communicating with our Latino clients. This in-depth course was offered free-of-charge to all Franchisees and their staff.

Only Liberty Tax offices that have fluent, bilingual staffing and whose selected employees have met the qualifications associated with the 22 week course are eligible for certification. This exclusive recognition includes the honor of posting the Hispanic Services Seal of Excellence in their office windows that proclaims in Spanish “Orgullosamente Sirviendo A La Comunidad Hispana” or “Proudly Serving the Hispanic Community”. Offices bearing this insignia authenticate to the Latino community that they have been fully trained to service the Hispanic community’s tax needs, with a qualified bilingual translator on hand.

Liberty Tax Service has taken its commitment to the Hispanic community very seriously. We have an Hispanic Marketing Services Team whose charter is to assimilate with the Latino community so that we can ensure it is providing the right services and communicating with the Hispanic community in the right way.

John Hewitt, Founder and CEO of Liberty Tax explains that “To many Hispanics, the tax and ITIN process can be foreign and confusing. It’s important that we acknowledge their unique needs so we may facilitate this experience. They should be able to count on us to complete their applications and filings correctly, and they should feel assured that their information will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.”

Liberty Tax Service offices nationwide provide free ITIN applications for all immigrants.
