...to put quality before quantity, detail before speed, and client's interests before personal financial gain.

Gold Standard initially launched for the purpose of preparing financial projections for various entities. But business quickly flourished and we soon realized the need to expand into other fields of financial services. 

This allows us to offer the full financial spectrum: Tax, Bookkeeping, Payroll, and Business Consulting. 

The professionals that stand behind the Gold Standard name are not only degreed and licensed, but are also exceptionally passionate about the work that they do. 

Meet the team below. 

Rachel Rubin has been working in the tax and accounting field for over 15 years, and founded Gold Standard Tax & Accounting in 2014. Her desire to create her own firm started with the need to see clients treated fairly, and that need spurns on everything the business touches.
