Founded company

Kave Enterprises launched with a single focus: providing trustworthy, local tax preparation and being part of the small business community.

Upstate Tax

Upstate Tax was born out of a need to help small businesses year-round—not just at tax time. We rebranded and expanded, adding payroll and bookkeeping to deliver ongoing support.

Core Financial Resources

To serve our clients' full needs, we expanded beyond tax into financial services. Our Dave Ramsey affiliation brought added credibility, while hiring a dedicated accounting expert meant businesses got consistent, strategic support all year—not just outside tax season.

Cadence HCM born

Seeing how crucial payroll was for our clients, we launched Cadence HCM with advanced software and dedicated support—focused solely on serving growing businesses with complex payroll needs.
