What OJIS does

OJIS, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned professional services firm headquartered at 4966 North Grand Ave., Covina, California. Founded by Maria A. Orozco in 1997 (with family-business roots she traces to 1990), the firm provides two core services to individual consumers: personal tax preparation and IRS-related filings, and immigration paperwork assistance for USCIS processes. Its client base is concentrated in the Southern California Latino community, served through a bilingual English/Spanish staff from a single storefront location with weekday and Saturday hours.

The firm's underlying technology stack is modest: it describes using internal "state-of-the-art client management software" to safely process and manage client information, with no public APIs, no mobile applications, and no disclosed third-party integrations. The company maintains a WordPress-based website (ojiservices.com) that includes an aggregated USCIS/IRS news feed, indicating a light digital presence rather than a software-platform business model.

OJIS generates revenue on a fee-for-service, engagement-by-engagement basis — clients must call or walk in to obtain pricing, and no rate cards or packaged offerings are disclosed. Customer acquisition is overwhelmingly referral-driven, with 90% of new clients attributed to word-of-mouth referrals from existing clients, supplemented by walk-ins. The firm has no external investors, no parent company, no disclosed partnerships, and no institutional backing; ownership and operational control sit entirely within the Orozco family (Felipe Orozco as Owner, Maria Orozco as Founder, Joshua Orozco as Office Manager).

Product overview

Its offering centers on assisting individual clients (predominantly Spanish-speaking) with tax preparation services and immigration/USCIS documentation services, supported internally by state-of-the-art client management software used by the Orozco family team. The business was founded by Maria Orozco in 1997 and continues to operate as an integrated service practice rather than a packaged software platform; no separately branded sub-products, modules, or add-ons are sold.

Broad incumbents

• Fragomen: Largest global corporate immigration law firm. While it serves corporate/employer clients rather than individuals like OJIS, it represents the upper bound of the immigration-services category in which OJIS operates on the B2C side.
• H&R Block: Largest U.S. retail tax preparation chain with Spanish-language services and a growing Hispanic-market focus. Directly comparable to OJIS on the tax-preparation side, though H&R Block operates at vastly greater scale and also offers DIY software.

Direct peers

• Jackson Hewitt Tax Service: National tax preparation franchise operating inside retail locations, with significant Spanish-language outreach and a similar seasonal fee-for-service model to OJIS's tax side. Comparable in serving individual clients who need assisted tax filing rather than DIY.
• Liberty Tax Service: Franchise-based tax preparation chain known for Spanish-language marketing and Hispanic-community outreach. Most directly comparable to OJIS on community-led, in-person, bilingual tax preparation for individual filers.

Regional players

• Manatt, Phelps & Phillips (Immigration Practice): Full-service professional services firm with a notable immigration practice. Operates in adjacent immigration services to OJIS — individual and family immigration matters — but at materially larger scale with attorney-led delivery.

Emerging players

• TurboTax (Intuit): Dominant DIY tax-preparation software used by a growing share of Latino and first-generation filers. Directly competes with OJIS's tax side by offering low-cost self-service alternatives to assisted in-person preparation.
• SimpleCitizen: Tech-enabled immigration case preparation and filing service for individuals and families. Overlaps with OJIS's USCIS paperwork assistance offering, targeting the same individual immigrant client base but via a software-led model.
• Boundless: Online immigration paperwork and filing assistance platform for individuals. Directly comparable to OJIS's immigration-services half — same end-customer, same paperwork-driven model, but delivered digitally rather than in-person.
• RapidVisa: Online immigration paperwork and visa application assistance service. Comparable to OJIS's immigration half in serving individual clients seeking help with immigration filings, but operating at greater scale via a digital-only delivery model.

Others

• Servicio de Impuestos Internos (IRS) VITA Program: IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offering free in-person tax preparation for low-to-moderate-income filers, including dedicated Spanish-language sites. Indirectly competes with OJIS by providing no-cost bilingual tax help to overlapping client demographics.
