About Ummah Tax Solutions

Ummah Tax Solutions, based in Winston-Salem, provides computerized income tax preparation along with online and electronic filing for individuals, nonprofits, and businesses. Beyond seasonal tax filing, the firm offers year-round accounting and bookkeeping support, plus everyday office services like printing, faxing, and notary work that small business owners and individuals often need but struggle to find in one place. The firm also advertises tax-time cash advances of up to $7,000 for qualifying clients who need funds before their refund arrives, along with incentives for filing early or referring other clients. Owner Jahad Zenith built the practice around a "Your Network determines your NET WORTH" philosophy, treating tax preparation as one piece of a broader relationship with clients rather than a once-a-year transaction. The firm operates out of Winston-Salem's Old Town Shopping Center and describes itself as connected to a nationwide network of financial professionals, giving clients access to expertise beyond what a single local office could offer while keeping day-to-day service local and personal. Community giving is built into the business model: Ummah donates a portion of its revenue to causes including homelessness assistance, reentry programs for formerly incarcerated individuals, and youth recreation, reflecting the meaning behind its name, "Ummah," which translates to "community."

Founder Jahad Zenith grew up in poverty within a large, disconnected family and was raised largely by his grandmother, whose devout faith and family devotion shaped his early values; his father introduced him to Islam when Zenith was fourteen. Before entering the tax and accounting world, he tried his hand at several ventures, including collecting bottles and cutting grass for money, and in 2008 he launched Nyte Lyfe Magazine, a free publication covering entrepreneurs across three Michigan counties. That work in marketing led him into an accounting firm, where he started as an intern and eventually managed the entire office. By 2016, he had franchised with that firm and opened a location in Winston-Salem's Old Town Shopping Center. In 2021, Zenith broke away and rebranded independently as Ummah Tax Solutions, building the business around both tax expertise and a stated commitment to reinvesting in the community.
