A Family Business Since 1949
Three generations of tax preparation expertise
H&M: The Discount Tax Service is a family-owned business that has been serving the Philadelphia area for three generations. We began as a small tax service in Olney. Charles Wildermuth, our grandfather, founded H&M in 1949, just after World War II. Back then, each return was carefully typed and glued together—yes, glued—staples were “too messy!'
As the business grew, Charles passed the torch to the next generation, ensuring that H&M remained a trusted name for local tax preparation through the next several decades. Today, H&M Taxes is now managed by Paul Miller who took over in 1979 from his father-in-law, and his partner and General Manager, Fred Miller. They, along with their team, have been providing high-quality and affordable tax preparation services with an expert team of tax specialists for the Philadelphia community ever since.
Over the past 75 years, H&M has been proud to serve our community with accuracy and care. Although tax returns are no longer typed on a typewriter and glued, our commitment to mess-free, hands-on, and personalized service remains the same. We may have grown, but we’ve never lost sight of the core value that’s guided our business since 1949: commitment to our clients.
We pride ourselves on personally preparing each return, in honor of our grandfather’s dedication to accuracy and personal service. His core values set the foundation for the mission that continues to guide our company today.
