Professional Advisory and CPA Firm serving San Antonio and surrounding areas.

Adam Valdez CPA PLLC originally started as 'Stanush Income Tax & Bookkeeping Service' in 1973 with Mary Stanush (my grandmother). The business flourished when Mary’s son, Richard and his wife Sharon joined her team in the 1980s. Mary decided to retire in the 90s. Richard and Sharon continued to work hard, and eventually moved the office into a brand new building in 2004. While still attending Baylor, Adam Valdez began helping out at the office during the busy tax season. Then, after graduation and some additional years of working for a CPA firm in San Antonio, Adam joined in the family business full time. After Richard and Sharon retired in 2013, the family business has now transitioned to it’s third generation of family owners, Adam and Amber.
