Our Story

In 2015, Jessica Elvir founded KARME after witnessing firsthand how tax companies were failing their clients. Having worked with several firms that prioritized profits over people, Jessica knew there had to be a better way – one that put integrity and client success at the center of everything.

Together, Jessica as CEO and Jennifer as CFO bring complementary expertise and leadership to guide clients toward financial prosperity.
