Flagship moves to new office location

Submitted information

Michael Baldea, owner and operator of Flagship Tax Center and Senior Supplemental Solutions, is proud to announce the opening of its new offices located at 316 W. Ervin Road in Van Wert (across the street from O’Reilly Auto Parts).

The building, occupied by the Ohio Department of Transportation during the reconstruction of South Washington Street several years ago, has been completely remodeled and given a facelift that will make the drive down West Ervin Road a little more pleasant.

Flagship, started in 2010, has been operating in Van Wert for the past four years on west Main Street, offering both income tax preparation services and Medicare related products such as Medicare Supplemental Insurance, Medicare Advantage health plans, and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans.

In addition to those offerings, Baldea became certified in the past year to offer individual health plans through the Federal Health Exchange in accordance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Because of the added complexity the ACA will have upon 2014 income tax returns, the upcoming tax season should be busier than ever. Plus, due to the immensely better visibility and off-street parking this building provides to the public, Baldea anticipates substantial growth in both tax preparation and health insurance clientele.

Feel free to stop in for a cup of coffee and check out the new Flagship Tax Center and Senior Supplemental Solutions in Van Wert. Summer hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. All other hours are happily available by appointment.
