Here's what a few of Tom's clients have to say:
"I've worked with Tom for over 5 years now. He's fabulous! Whenever I have a question,
he's there with the answers or researching to get the right answers. His professional advise over the years has
helped me save money, reduce my risks, avoid penalties and increase business and personal assets. He always makes
sure that I understand the issue at hand. He brings the complicated issue of taxes, accounting and Quick Books
processes down to my level of understanding. I look forward to many more years of working together with
Tom."
~ Barbara Thomas, President of Creative Tactics, LLC.
"My husband Brad and I have been employing Tom Gogarty to
prepare our personal and small business taxes for over ten years and have been so impressed with his services that
we stayed with him even when he and we both moved to other states. He is unceasingly patient with our clueless
questions and late submissions. Best of all, he always minimizes our taxes and his ethics are above
reproach."
~ Diana West
"Thomas Gogarty has been an invaluable asset and resource to our company. As a small business
enterprise, we have benefited greatly from his insight, expertise and advice. Mr. Gogarty has taken the time and
initiative to thoroughly understanding our business, and therefore has been able to make relevant contributions
toward the sustainability and efficiency of our company. He has made several cost-saving recommendations to us over
the years which have helped us streamline expenses and operate more effectively. We find his knowledge of
government contracting to be most important in helping us competitively bid for new business, and in helping us be
compliant with the financial reporting that is required by our current government clientele. Our company truly
values the ease, accuracy, and pleasantry of our business relationship with Thomas Gogarty. Thank you, Mr. Gogarty,
for all that you do for Community Bridge Inc. and its subsidiaries!"
~ Denise M. Shelton, President/CEO, Community Bridge Inc.
“In 2005, after 5 great years working with Tom, we relocated from Maryland to Seattle and
very concerned it might mean changing CPAs. Ultimately we found that distance didn't matter. Tom
consistently provided excellent advice and turnaround regardless of distance and most importantly, we trust
him. We’ve now been with Tom’s company for 11 years and extremely happy with his services and expertise.
“
~ Lisa Lutz
"We have been working with Tom since 2004. He has been instrumental in helping us grow our business from a basement
to our first office and now an even larger office. He is available to help us in our accounting & tax needs in
person or remotely at a moments notice. We look forward to working with Tom in the years to come."
~ Rebecca Albert, President, MicroServe Consulting Inc.
