About

Tom Jordan is a Principal at DHJJ and has been with the firm for over 40 years. For 25 of those years, he served as Managing Director handling the firm’s internal operations before stepping down in 2017. Respect for clients and colleagues, alike, is a driving force in Tom’s interactions. For his own firm as well as client companies, his goal is creating an unrivaled environment that is not only successful, but where team members want to work.

With his vast experience to guide him, Tom leads the firm’s Management Advisory division. He offers a wealth of insight to business owners who look to him for business and management advice, outsourced CFO services, forensic analysis and merger & acquisition consulting. He also helps with traditional tax planning and preparation, accounting, audit, compilation and review services for businesses and their owners.

Unlike many CPAs, Tom’s first focus is on how to allocate the available funds to get the best result. He views expenses as an investment rather than a cost to be eliminated in every circumstance. This perspective helps his clients remain focused on the big picture and enjoy the journey as they grow their company.

Under his leadership the group was the first to let women join the organization. He currently serves as treasurer of the White Eagle Golf Club.
