Our History
At our firm, we know ‘small business’ means family — whether it’s the small business itself or the families it supports.
Beginning in the 70’s, Aurelio Alvarez started a local history of tax services preparing individual taxes within the Santa Ana community. Antonio and Maria Alvarez continued Aurelio’s work and founded ATS Consulting in 2001 to serve the small business tax needs of greater Orange County. While our team grew and our services expanded, our community values remain the foundation of our company. With the leadership of a third generation, ATS Consulting continues to be forward-thinking, adapting to change and focused on growth that benefits our staff and our clients.
At ATS Consulting, we view our client relationship as a partnership working hand-in-hand toward our client’s goals. Our staff prides itself in providing exceptional client service that draws upon advanced training, transparent communication and state-of-the-art computer technology. At our firm, we know that the measure of our success lies in the financial health and stability of our staff and clients, and we strive to succeed.
