About Us
Accuracy, Legality, and Ethics as Our Foundation
ERC Today is all about doing things the right way. We’re a passionate team that knows there are a lot of options for help with tax credits – but few spend the effort to make sure the work is accurate, legal, and ethical. When everyone else is telling you what you want to hear, we feel that the correct answer is the most important one.
Our experience is rich and our team diverse, bringing a full range of perspectives to pair with our home-grown technology. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all; instead, we ask the right questions so we can really know our clients, making sure our work is a fair representation of your unique needs.
Simply put, ERC Today isn’t like the other companies, and we’re very proud of that. We hope you will go on the journey with us.
