Blu Jean Louis, the founder and CEO of Empire Tax Services, a Black-owned financial services company, is expanding her reach and impact with the opening of her company’s first physical office in downtown Kokomo, Indiana. Located at 106 W. Mulberry Street, this milestone marks the company’s evolution from a virtual business to a community-focused hub offering essential financial services and support.
Despite this exciting new chapter, her company will continue to accept virtual clients nationwide, maintaining the accessibility and flexibility that have been key to its success.
Blu, a Florida native with a passion for community empowerment, initially operated virtually from 2022 to 2023, serving clients across the country with professional and reliable financial services. She then recognized the growing need for a physical presence in Kokomo, a city rich in community spirit, where her expertise could make a direct impact. After exploring opportunities in larger cities, Blu chose Kokomo because it felt like home a place where she could truly connect with the community and help individuals and businesses thrive.
She comments, “Kokomo stood out to us because of the people. It’s a city full of hardworking families, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who deserve a trusted partner in achieving financial success. Opening our first office here allows us to be that partner.”
