Gregory Taylor
Growing up in Fairfax County, Greg was raised by a financial advisor father and a tax accountant mother. He learned early on that the best financial decisions happen when tax and financial planning go hand in hand.
As a Tax Advisor at Acorn, he leverages that upbringing and over two decades of hands-on expertise to integrate individual and business tax preparation directly with long-term financial planning. For Greg, filing accurate returns is just the starting point; he works with clients year-round to ensure every tax season yields strategic savings and aligns with broader financial goals.
Greg resides in Oak Hill, Virginia, with his wife, Lorraine, and their young sons, David and Matthew.
