Small Business & Nonprofit Secrets to Success: Foos Financial Services

When she was in her early 20s, Laura Foos found herself facing a tough situation. Seven months pregnant, single and bankrupt, Laura decided that one way to reverse her fortunes would be to build a business. After a stint as a salon owner, Laura found the niche that would lead her to success. She launched Foos Financial Services in Camp Springs, Maryland and now she helps others keep their lives on track—or build their own brands—with simple, streamlined tax preparation.

With so many tax-prep services on the market, Laura had to do something to help her business stand out, so Foos Financial Services offers something that most other companies don’t: a physical kit. When they walk through her door, Laura’s clients receive “My Tax Box,” which contains a personalized workbook, a receipts envelope, bookmarks, pre-sharpened pencils, a stress ball and even some candy (which can be a vital tax-season tool). The Tax Box demystifies the process and empowers clients to take charge of their own earnings. 

Foos Financial Services has expanded its offerings over the years. The company now hosts a podcasting setup, a photo studio and even a small events space. From Tax Box contents to party supplies, Walmart Business can help Laura get the right products at the right prices.

To help Foos Financial Services thrive, we set Laura up with a six-month Walmart Business+ membership. With it, she’ll receive free shipping with no minimum¹ along with free delivery from local Walmart stores for orders over $35.² She’ll also earn 2% cash back rewards on orders of $250 or more.³ Overall, she could save more than $500 per year.⁴ Sign up today, and you can enjoy the same benefits.
