About
Our Story
We are a team of accountants and financial advisors but unlike other groups, we actually specialize in pharmacy.
Ricardo and Adam used to work together at another accounting & wealth management firm focused on dentists.
Pharmacists were being referred from the dentist clients and we kept hearing the same thing: “what you guys are doing for dentists, no one is doing for pharmacists.”
Eventually, Ricardo and Adam both left the firm and decided to start Pharma Tax, based on the feedback and experience working with pharmacists.
Ricardo/Adam met Geoff/Derek at a CPA conference and decided to join forces in an effort to create a one-stop shop environment for pharmacists.
Today, we now offer a full suite of accounting & wealth management services tailored exclusively to pharmacists.
