About HYK Tax

A small firm with big-firm standards.

HYK Tax was founded on a simple idea: small businesses and busy individuals deserve a CPA who answers the phone, explains things plainly, and never disappears after April 15.

Our Story

Built for the way U.S. businesses actually work.

What started as a one-person practice in Tampa has grown into a 12-person firm serving clients in all 50 states — but the principles haven't changed.

Yatin opened HYK Tax in 2009 after a decade at two of the Big Four. The work was rigorous and the clients were Fortune 500 — but the businesses he genuinely loved talking to were the ones the big firms wouldn't take: dentists, contractors, e-commerce founders, freelance designers, restaurant owners.

He built HYK around a different math: Big Four standards, small-firm attention, and a global team structure that delivers both speed and savings. By 2014, the firm had outgrown its first office. By 2019, it had a dedicated production hub in Surat, India. Today, every U.S. return is signed by a Florida CPA, supported by a team of analysts and Enrolled Agents who keep your work moving overnight.

The firm has filed over 6,000 returns. The retention rate has stayed above 95% for the last seven years. We think those two numbers say everything.

I've never met a small business that didn't deserve the same caliber of advice the biggest companies get. That's the firm I wanted to build — and it's the firm we still are.

What We Believe

Four principles that shape every engagement.

We post these on the wall in both offices. They aren't slogans — they're the reasons we win and keep clients.

01

Clarity over jargon

If we can't explain it to you in plain English, we don't understand it well enough. Every memo, every email, every invoice — readable.

02

Defensible by default

Every position we take is one we'd defend in an audit. We document our reasoning. We don't chase deductions that don't survive scrutiny.

03

Proactive, not reactive

The best tax planning happens in October, not March. We bring up opportunities before they expire and risks before they hurt.

04

Pick up the phone

You can call us in May. In July. In October. The same person who signs your return is the same person who answers your call.

The Team

The people behind your returns.

A senior team of CPAs, Enrolled Agents, and tax analysts working across two offices to keep your work moving 24 hours a day.
