Tom Fargo, EA, MBA

Tom founded Tom Fargo & Associates in 1987 to provide accounting, tax planning & preparation and business counseling to individuals, small businesses and professionals.  He founded his practice on the philosophy that we only succeed when our clients succeed.  That philosophy led Tom to consider his clients needs first as he looked to a transition in his life.  So that Tom could spend more time with his family and grand children, he joined Taylor & Company in 2015.  

Tom's experience as an engineer, manufacturing operations manager and MD Air National Guard pilot complement his MBA and Enrolled Agent training and distinguish him from other practitioners.  Tom listens to our clients to learn their goals, resources, tolerance for risk and definition of success, then goes to work helping them succeed.
