TBCPA, Inc.

TBCPA, Inc. provides fee-based portfolio management and related financial services to a mix of individual clients (including high-net-worth individuals) and institutional-type accounts such as pension/profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, business entities, and charitable organizations. In addition to investment management, the firm offers income tax planning, tax return preparation, and option/restricted-stock planning as part of its service set.

The firm tailors portfolios to clients’ objectives and constraints and can manage accounts on either a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, using a range of methods including fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis and both long- and short-term trading approaches. Reviews of accounts are performed on an ongoing basis with at least quarterly sampling reviews, and the firm documents client circumstances (tax status, risk tolerance, time horizon) to customize recommendations.

Notable differences from many peers include the firm’s accounting affiliation: the principal is a certified public accountant who provides accounting and tax services to clients under separate fee arrangements, and the firm discloses how those dual roles are handled. The firm also reports managing assets for corporate/business and charitable clients and providing portfolio management for pension or institutional clients, while operating with approximately $21.0 million in assets under management as of 12/31/2022.
