About Us
MISSION, HISTORY & VISION
Karim & Associates was established in 1990 by Abdul Kadie Karim Sr, a noted member of the Washington, DC metropolitan area, a certified public accountant, and college professor. Karim started his business on the corner of 5th and Florida Avenue dubbed the “upstairs” by locals. As a small business owner, Karim had a passion for helping his community resolve tax issues, file tax returns, and assist with small business start-ups.
In 2001, Karim’s son Ibrahim joined the business providing financial services to the community. In 2007, Karim’s son Abdul also joined the family business.
Over the years, as business grew Karim and Associates moved from Florida Avenue to the present location on North Capitol Street in North East DC.
Karim & Associates changed the business name to Karim & Associates Financial Services, LLC in 2015 thus establishing a partnership between the two sons, Ibrahim and Abdul. Since then, Ibrahim and Abdul have kept the legacy of their late father alive by providing the same outstanding service that he provided the community for over 30 years.
