Tariq Qasas, CPA
Senior Accountant
When people meet Tariq, any of their preconceived stereotypes of a typical CPA are thrown out the door. Although he sharply exhibits his financial proficiency and overall grasp of the tax code, he balances the hard skills of the profession with the soft skills needed to connect with his clients on a personal level. His patience, paired with an innate ability to simplify the most seemingly complex business discussions are always on display as his communication skills command a fresh, competitive edge in an otherwise seemingly stale industry.
Tariq Qasas has extensive experience servicing the financial and taxation needs of local, national and international businesses across a spectrum of different industries. Tariq works side by side with clients to offer clear, professional advice on how to maximize their business value, minimize their financial risks, and prepare for the ever-changing financial and regulatory landscape that businesses must adapt to.
Tariq prides himself in going the extra mile (extra kilometer for the international clients) to ensure that his clients have a firm understanding of not only the “what” and “how much” of taxes they’re liable for, but more importantly, the “why” and “how to minimize” those taxes. He stands by his belief that for a business to budget, grow and succeed, it should have a full grasp of the factors contributing to one of its’ biggest expenses- its’ tax liability.
Tariq started his career at Qasas Business Services as a staff accountant while he was simultaneously pursuing his Master’s in Accounting from the University at Buffalo. After graduating with summa cum laude in 2013, Tariq earned his CPA certification while working as a staff accountant at Brock, Schechter & Polakoff, LLP, a top local CPA firm. Being exposed to various audit engagements, international tax filings, and a wide array of clientele from a diverse group of industries allowed Tariq to continue sharpening his professional skill set, cementing his role as a trusted advisor to clients. He rejoined Qasas Business Services as a senior accountant in 2015 and plans on continuing its timeless approach of serving its clientele with professional work, quality advice, infectious smiles, and an unwavering commitment to being by their side. Always.
