About Benchmark

Tax Expertise Is Important.
So Is Having Someone
You Can Trust.

Our Story

Built on Experience.
Built Around People.

Benchmark Tax Services was created from a simple belief: tax preparation shouldn’t leave people confused about their own finances.

Katrina Rumph began helping individuals and business owners take control of their finances in 2005. After years of gaining experience in finance and seeing firsthand how much people needed knowledgeable, personalized tax support, she officially launched Benchmark Tax Services in 2015.

What began as a vision for better tax preparation has grown into a firm focused on helping individuals, self employed professionals, and business owners confidently manage their tax responsibilities.

Today, Benchmark provides tax preparation, bookkeeping, tax planning, and consulting with a strong emphasis on education and long term relationships.

Because completing the return matters.

Understanding what comes next matters too.

Our Approach

We Don’t Want You to
Just Sign the Return.
We Want You to
Understand It.

Taxes can feel complicated, especially when your financial situation changes.

You start a business. Your side hustle becomes real income. You purchase equipment. You elect S corporation status. Your expenses grow. Suddenly, the return that used to feel simple has a whole lot more going on.

That’s where Benchmark comes in.

We take the time to understand your situation, explain what’s relevant, and help you make sense of your tax responsibilities.

Our goal isn’t to overwhelm you with tax terminology. It’s to give you clarity about where you stand and confidence about what comes next.

FOUNDER & TAX PROFESSIONAL

For Katrina Rumph, tax preparation is only one part of helping clients build a stronger financial foundation.

With a background in finance and experience helping individuals and business owners since 2005, Katrina brings years of practical knowledge to every client relationship. In 2015, she transformed that experience into Benchmark Tax Services.

Her approach is centered on listening first, understanding each client’s financial situation, and providing guidance they can actually use.

Katrina is especially passionate about working with self employed taxpayers and business owners whose tax needs often become more complex as their businesses grow.

Outside of her professional work, Katrina values family and time spent learning from the wisdom and experiences of her elders, something she credits with continuing to influence the way she serves others.
