Our Staff

Tim Gehring grew up in the small logging town of Kettle Falls, WA. In 1999, he moved to Pullman and attended Washington State University to compete on the Cougar Track team. Five years later, Tim was declared an Athletic and Academic All-American shot-putter. After receiving his bachelor’s degree, Tim was fortunate to work with wonderful mentors, helping hone his skills as a tax accountant. He started the firm in Pullman in 2012, after working several years as a CPA. He can be found working tirelessly (especially during tax season), helping build relationships as well as completing tax returns.

When he’s not tackling the tax code, Tim stays active in the community, volunteering as a track official at WSU track meets, as well as being an active board member and treasurer on both the Montessori School and Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation. During his down time, Tim spends time with his beautiful wife, Kirstin, sassy daughter, Daphne, and their two dogs and two cats.

Bo Farrwood, CPA

Bo was born and raised on the Palouse and has lived here most of his life. Bo’s great uncle, Bolin Farr, helped found the town of Three Forks, which would later become the City of Pullman. After gambling professionally in Las Vegas for a few years, Bo returned to Pullman to pursue an education at Washington State University. Bo double-majored in Accounting and Finance, and earned a minor in economics. He then shifted his focus to becoming a Certified Public Accountant. Outside the office, Bo enjoys the outdoors, especially when accompanied by his two Labradors.
