Our Story
With our combined experience of 50 years in the financial services and tax industries, Apothic Revenue commits to strengthening communities by understanding revenue needs and identifying tax and compliance issues.
The history of Apothic Revenue traces its beginning to 1994 at another company, in another industry. The founders, having worked together at MBNA America, a company known for its strong commitment to excellence and to serving communities, came together to form Apothic Revenue. Committed to the same core values instilled 24 years ago, the founders blended their knowledge and experiences to build an organization focused on strengthening communities. These core values, or precepts, not only define our commitment to our Clients, but also our commitment to our employees.
Our Approach
Apothic Revenue is founded on a set of core values.
It’s not just about increasing revenue; it’s also building relationships of trust between the Community and Local Governments.
For over 20 years, the founders have assisted organizations in increasing revenue; whether it’s an international company, a national sports league such as the NHL or State and Local Governments, our founders have uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars.
We build strong relationships with our clients, by understanding their revenue needs and tailoring our services to assist them to achieve their goals. At Apothic Revenue every connection made with our clients are opportunities for strengthening relationships and taking communities to new heights.
