In 1985, David Marcus and Jack Fairall combined their years of
accounting experience and their financial expertise to form a strong
partnership. They built the firm into one of El Paso's older, more
recognized CPA firms.
From the very beginning, they set an example of how to give back to
the community by donating thousands of hours of pro bono time and
expertise through charitable involvement on community boards, and
non-profit organizations.
Tracy Bristol joined the company in 1989. Tracy's leadership skills
and her strong financial management capabilities did not go
unrecognized, and she was made a partner in 1994.
Today, the same three partners manage a team comprised of experts in
all areas of business, accounting, auditing, and more recently,
forensic accounting.
