Our Business Philosophy

We offer experienced, personal service to our clients at reasonable prices. And we don't close on April 15th only to open the following January. Our office remains open throughout the year, so we are always available for clients that have tax issues or need advice on how to plan for the future.

Our Company

Hartlaub Tax Service has served the community since 1968. Robert J. Hartlaub, Sr., established the company and continued as the principal owner and operator until 1981 when he retired. After Mr. Hartlaub retired, Bob, Jr., and Carol assumed the responsibilities of ownership and growth of the business. The practice primarily serves clientele in the Tri-State area, though many clients who have moved continue to rely on us for their tax needs every year. Hartlaub Tax Service, LLC is a member of the National Association of Tax Professionals and remains a community fixture for many in Carthage and in the surrounding neighborhoods.
