About ARA

A tax practice built by someone who builds technology.

ARA Government Services, LLC is a San Antonio, Texas firm offering tax preparation and AI consulting. All appointments are held online.

Who we are

Two practices, one standard of care.

ARA prepares individual and business tax returns and helps small businesses put practical AI to work. Clients work directly with an Enrolled Agent who also builds tax software.

That combination shapes how we work: careful with sensitive information, clear about fees and scope before work begins, and focused on technology that saves real time.

What we do

—  Individual and business tax preparation
—  Tax planning and year-round tax monitoring
—  Prior-year and amended returns
—  IRS notice review
—  AI consulting and automation

Meet the founder

Ramon Carpio Jr., EA, MBA

Ramon has more than 15 years of tax preparation experience. He is an Enrolled Agent, an Army veteran, and the creator of Tax Toro, an AI-powered tax technology platform now in active development.

Years of preparing returns showed him where the process slows down: chasing documents, answering the same questions, tracking what's missing. Tax Toro is his answer to that. Every return ARA prepares is still reviewed by a tax professional before it is filed.

Tax Toro grew from years of seeing the same challenges in tax preparation: collecting documents, tracking missing information, explaining complicated steps, and keeping clients informed. Its development combines professional tax experience with practical software engineering and AI-assisted workflows.
