Liberty Tax Service Franchise Ranked on PODER’s 2010 Top Franchises for Hispanics List

(Virginia Beach, VA) For the fourth time,
Liberty Tax Service is the only tax service included on PODER magazine’s 2010 list of the “
Top 26 Franchises for Hispanics” (June-July 2010). The magazine based its evaluation on “historical performance, brand identification, franchisee satisfaction, training, ongoing support, and financial stability.”  
PODER also heavily weighed the value of the companies that “operate profitable businesses while also demonstrating an exceptional level of Latino participation and support for the Hispanic community.” “We are honored to be included on the PODER list again.  It is our intention to keep our franchise opportunity attainable and affordable, and a clear choice for its potential and ongoing support,” said John Hewitt, CEO and Founder of Liberty Tax Service. Liberty Tax Service has embraced diversity in its recruiting of Hispanic franchisees and preparers, and has greatly expanded its Hispanic Services initiative since an initial launch in 2004. Liberty’s Hispanic Initiative program –
Una Familia Sin Fronteras [A Family Without Boundaries] offers cultural education and training to recruit bilingual staff, covers culturally appropriate customer service, provides all staff with opportunities for professional growth and addresses culturally appropriate tax issues. Through this initiative, Liberty Tax Service has also been educating thousands of Hispanic adults on ways to achieve financial and future success in the United States. Many new Hispanic immigrants are not even aware that they are required to file taxes.  In order to do so, many must obtain an “Individual Taxpayer Identification Number,” or ITIN.  Liberty Tax provides free seminars about ITIN preparation accompanied by free preparation of ITINs by bilingual preparers. The initiative has earned the respect and support of institutions and educational organizations including public school districts, the Mexican government’s Foreign Ministry’s Institute for Mexicans Abroad (IME, or Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior), and national non-profit organizations. Liberty Tax Service has just announced the creation of the Una Familia Sin Fronteras Foundation, the first Foundation in the industry which specifically aims to contribute to Hispanic immigrants’ success through fiscal and financial education.

LIBERTY TAX SERVICE CREATES THE “UNA FAMILIA SIN FRONTERAS FOUNDATION” DEDICATED TO EDUCATING HISPANICS NATIONWIDE!

Liberty Tax Service creates the first Foundation in the industry to specifically support its multi-level Corporate Hispanic financial and fiscal education initiative. (Virginia Beach, VA) - Liberty Tax Service, the fastest-growing retail tax preparation company in the industry’s history, announced the creation of the Una Familia Sin Fronteras Foundation, the first Foundation in the industry which specifically aims to contribute to Hispanic immigrants’ success through fiscal and financial education. The Foundation was developed to concentrate on and expand the financial and fiscal educational outreach programs currently provided free of charge through Liberty Tax Service’s rapidly- growing and highly successful Hispanic community initiative,
Una Familia Sin Fronteras (A Family without Boundaries). Through this multi-faceted initiative, Liberty Tax Service has been educating thousands of Hispanic adults on ways to achieve financial and future success in the United States. The initiative has earned the respect and support of institutions and educational organizations including public school districts throughout the U.S., the Mexican government’s Foreign Ministry’s Institute for Mexicans Abroad (IME, or Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior), and national non-profit organizations nationwide. While Liberty Tax Service is the primary initiator and underwriter of the Una Familia Sin Fronteras Foundation, it plans to open sponsorship and participation to strategically aligned corporations, in order to increase the resources and capabilities of the Foundation and thereby increase its efforts and impact on the Hispanic community. "Creating this Foundation is just the logical next step in expanding our commitment to Hispanic communities across the U.S.” explains John Hewitt, Founder and CEO of Liberty Tax Service. “Our Hispanic initiative has been providing free education to Latinos through numerous organizations and educational institutions nationwide for almost two years. By creating the Una Familia Sin Fronteras Foundation, we will be able to not only continue our work as a broader effort, but to also allow other corporations and professionals the opportunity to join us and add their educational experience and expertise to the mix. Together, we will be able to provide our new immigrant communities with information that will help them grow financially so they can more quickly become integrated into the U.S. economic system and ultimately achieve their American dream.” The Una Familia Sin Fronteras Foundation is currently in the process of selecting a Board of Directors, as well as putting together a strategic plan. Interested individuals, organizations and corporations are urged to contact Martee Pierson, Director of Diversity Marketing for Liberty Tax Service, for more information on the Foundation and to discuss potential alliances, at
