From humble beginnings at mall kiosks to owning her own commercial property on Detroit’s iconic West 8 Mile, Paris Claypool-Beavers exemplifies perseverance, vision, and purpose. As the founder of Paris Tax Service & Notary LLC, Paris has transformed her journey of faith, discipline, and hustle into a thriving one-stop business hub that serves the local community while inspiring a new generation of entrepreneurs.
With nearly two decades of experience in tax preparation, accounting, and business services, Paris has built more than a company, she’s built a legacy rooted in empowerment, mentorship, and opportunity. Her entrepreneurial journey demonstrates that success isn’t just measured in revenue or titles, it’s measured in impact, influence, and the lives you touch along the way.
Paris’s story began in 2009, running a home-based business from her kitchen table and small kiosk stations. That first step required faith, patience, and consistency — values she still credits for her growth today. “I realized entrepreneurship was my true calling when I started helping people solve problems in simple ways and saw how it changed their lives,” she recalls. The transition from home operations to leasing commercial spaces, and eventually owning her own building, was challenging but transformational. Each stage taught her valuable lessons in leadership, financial literacy, and resilience.
Paris Tax Service & Notary LLC is designed as a comprehensive resource for local businesses and families. Beyond tax services, the company provides business formation, insurance, notary services, bookkeeping, and even travel assistance. “I want to make business ownership easier for others,” Paris explains. By creating a centralized hub, she ensures entrepreneurs and community members have the tools, guidance, and support needed to thrive.
For Paris, being a business owner is about more than personal success, it’s about mentoring others and creating opportunities for growth. She leads by example, sharing both successes and lessons with her team to foster transparency and learning. “Leadership isn’t about control; it’s about influence,” she says. By empowering employees and clients alike, Paris cultivates a culture of integrity, growth, and financial literacy.
Central to Paris’s philosophy is the combination of faith, vision, and purpose. Her personal and professional life is anchored in intentionality and walking by faith even when the path isn’t clear. This mindset has guided her through challenges, keeping her motivated and focused on building something lasting for her family, employees, and the Detroit community.
Paris encourages women and young entrepreneurs to start where they are with what they have. “Don’t wait for perfect timing or a big investment,” she says. “Faith, consistency, and a willingness to learn will carry you further than fear or perfectionism ever could.” She emphasizes that setbacks are part of the journey, and every step — big or small — teaches valuable lessons for building a sustainable business and legacy.
The future for Paris Tax Service & Notary LLC includes expansion to new locations and continued development of its business, insurance, and financial services divisions. Paris envisions creating a platform where employees and clients alike can achieve financial freedom, personal growth, and long-term stability. Her mission is clear: to empower others while leaving a legacy that inspires generations of Detroit entrepreneurs.
