Steve Mader of SouthTowne Motors, Presenting Sponsor; Amer Awad of Liberty Tax Service; and Ginger Jackson Queener of UBS Financial Services, Presenting Sponsor


As we're counting down the days till next week's Small Business of the Year Awards, we'd like to introduce you to our finalists for this year's awards, to be presented on August 25, 2016 at The Newnan Centre. Today, meet Liberty Tax Service.

Chamber membership philosophy and involvement: While we haven't been to many Chamber gatherings, we have attempted to reach out to other Chamber members to participate in activities we have for the community.

Community involvement: Since we opened our doors in September 2014,we have worked with the community to help those in need. Whether it be giving out 100 backpacks full of school supplies to children in need in 2015 (we have already upped our goal to 120 this year), giving out 110 full Christmas dinners to families who otherwise might not have been able to enjoy that all-important dinner during the holiday in 2015 (we expect to give out 150 this year), organizing a Trunk or Treat candy giveaway with a live DJ, costume and pumpkin carving contest, and handing out prizes to give children a safe place to get candy, or holding a community outreach party with carnival games, a bounce house, free food and drinks to raise money for Community Welcome House (we were able to raise over $500), we are determined to be a company that gives back to the community that allows us to come to work.

How Liberty Tax Service differs from competitors: It all starts and ends with customer service. We don't want our clients to just feel like another number. We get to know them and know their story. Nobody cares what you know until they know that you care. We force our clients to ask questions so they know what information is on their tax return instead of following the status quo of grabbing a W2, putting it in the computer and telling the client to have a nice day. Taxes were never taught to us when we were younger, so our office does its best to do that teaching now.
