About Us

Artax Consulting Corporation, doing business as Clement Tax Service, is a family-run tax and accounting firm based in San Francisco. For over 30 years, we have worked with individuals and businesses to provide dependable tax preparation and accounting services grounded in accuracy, consistency, and trust.

Our Beginnings

Clement Tax Service has been serving the San Francisco community since 1992. The firm was founded by Tony J. Gu, who began his practice through personal connections and word of mouth, originally handing out business cards on the street to introduce his services.

What started as a small operation grew steadily over time into a trusted practice serving hundreds of individuals and businesses. That growth was built on long-term relationships, attention to detail, and a commitment to treating every client with care and respect.

How We Work Today

While our firm has grown and technology has changed the way accounting services are delivered, our approach remains the same. We focus on providing clear communication, reliable service, and practical guidance tailored to each client’s situation.

Today, we serve clients both locally and nationally through secure online systems, allowing us to work efficiently while maintaining the personal attention that has defined our firm for decades.

Our Philosophy

We believe tax and accounting services should be straightforward and dependable. Our goal is to help clients stay compliant, organized, and informed, without unnecessary complexity. Many of our clients have been with us for years, and we value the trust they place in our firm.
