About West Financial Services
A virtual tax and accounting firm for the green industry, built on one idea: you should understand your own numbers.
Meet the person behind the numbers
West Financial Services LLC is a virtual tax and accounting firm registered in Florida. Most clients are in Florida, with others across several states — everything happens by phone and video.
Taucier Smalls-West spent more than twenty years in education before she ever prepared a tax return professionally. Explaining hard things in plain language was the job — and it turned out to be perfect training for this one.
A seasonal side job doing tax prep revealed the real calling. She founded West Financial Services in 2020 and took the firm full-time in 2023. She holds an MBA, and she built this business from scratch — learning firsthand the costly lessons she now helps her clients avoid.
The firm serves clients in many industries, but landscaping and green industry owners have her heart. Too many of them underprice their work, overpay in taxes, and run hard all season without a plan. Changing that is the point of this firm.
Her guiding motto is simple: leave people better than you found them. Away from work, you’ll find her fireside with her husband, Larry.
How we work
Most owners hear from their accountant once a year, at tax time, with no planning and no explanation. We think that is backwards. Our whole model is regular contact and plain language — every plan includes a standing Check-In where we go through your numbers together and explain the why and the how behind every decision.
No jargon, no hype, and no pretending the money side is too complicated for you. It is not. It has just never been explained.
What clients say
"I am someone who is as green as it gets when it comes to accounting and bookkeeping and taxes. Taucier has held my hand every step of the way and helped me accomplish things with my business that I could never have accomplished without her. She has a heart of gold and a ton of knowledge. She offers so much value in every meeting we have. I cannot speak highly enough of her. Seriously, she is the best!"
