Gary Wolfe

CPA Advisor

Mr. Wolfe, CPA, is the managing partner of WCPA Group, based in Fresno, California, where he has spent 18 years in public accounting and led the firm’s tax advisory and transaction advisory practices since becoming partner in 2013. 

 

Mr. Wolfe practice centers on helping business owners navigate complex financial decisions, from tax minimization strategies to the due diligence required when acquiring a business. Drawing on years of experience serving as an outside CFO for clients across a range of industries, he brings a hands-on understanding of strategic business decision-making, not just technical accounting knowledge, to every engagement.

 

He regularly prepares Quality of Earnings analyses for clients pursuing business acquisitions, evaluating the accuracy and sustainability of a target company’s reported earnings to support sound purchase decisions. His client base spans individual and business clients, with particular depth in the healthcare and construction sectors, where he also advises on complex entity structuring. Gary maintains independence from the transactions he evaluates and holds no financial interest in the businesses under review, consistent with the qualification and independence standards required of QoE preparers under SBA SOP guidance.

 

Mr. Wolfe is a licensed Certified Public Accountant and remains actively engaged in ongoing professional education to stay current with evolving accounting, tax, and SBA lending standards.
