Service Category Accounting and Consulting Member NameJeff Holmberg, CPA, CMA Logo (optional) WIBAM! Statement (Up to 12 words)I help nurture businesses by sharing knowledge and collaborating solutions Description I am a manager in the Business Consulting Services department of a CPA firm in the Twin Cities. I work with clients in several industries, including manufacturing, professional services, retail, and real estate. I have an organized and precise nature, which I lend to my clients to help them keep more money in their pockets. I enjoy helping my clients reduce taxes through careful tax planning and by utilizing tax credits. One tax credit I work with extensively is the R&D tax credit, which can be very lucrative. Whenever I find companies who use innovation to create products or processes that are new to them, I often find that they can benefit from this little-known tax credit. I also enjoy helping clients develop profit goals, as well as strategies to meet these goals. For instance, I often help clients prepare budgets, and then compare the budget to actual results to identify waste. I recently obtained a CMA credential, and in the process I learned how to quantify the true costs of a company’s particular products and services. This can help management ensure that they are pricing their products high enough to make a profit, or abandon products that are taking profit away. I am eager to utilize this new service and help my clients increase their profitability.

Service Category Financial Advisor Member Name Tom Gartner, MSAPM, CFP® Logo (optional) WIBAM! Statement (Up to 12 words)I help people manage their money effectively. Description What gives Tom the right to be trusted by his clients? Integrity. It is this foundational principle that makes Tom a no nonsense, “no bull,” CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. Consistently, Tom is a true advocate for his clients, repeatedly looking out for their best interests. Tom’s innate honesty was instilled by his upbringing and reinforced by his solid, high quality education from The University of San Diego, where he earned his degree in finance and a minor in psychology. With this concrete background as a foundation, Tom has the knowledge and experience needed to help his clients plan for their financial futures. Truly, Tom is dedicated to providing impeccable service to secure the financial futures of his clients. Instinctively, Tom knows how to treat his clients’ right, offering straight forward financial advice, and is rewarded with long-term relationships because of this ability and dedication. This has been Tom's philosophy for more than a decade now: “My confidence and passion in dealing with financial markets, allows me to comfortably work exclusively with clients on a fiduciary basis. That means I am held to a standard of only representing the needs of the clients, not my own or the company’s needs.” As a CFP® professional, Tom takes the work he does for his clients seriously, which has driven Tom to continue his education. Tom earned a Certificate in Financial Planning at Southern Methodist University, and recently completed his Masters of Security Analysis and Portfolio Management from Creighton University. In addition to his devotion to financial planning, Tom believes in sharing and giving back to the community that has placed their confidence in his abilities. He does this by performing pro bono work for those most in need. Spending quality time with his wife Alison and their three children is an important part of Tom's non-business world. He enjoys boating and taking time to relax with family and friends, as he believes it is important to step away from the numbers occasionally: “It gives me a chance to refresh and see a bigger picture, giving 110% for my clients.” You are talking to a great referral for me when… They aren’t confident managing their finances, or are not absolutely sure the advice they are getting is in their best interests.
