Meet Tara Sweckard, CPA

I am a Certified Public Accountant based in Aspen, Colorado, with extensive experience serving individuals, families, and small businesses across a wide range of tax and financial needs.

After years working in public accounting, I founded Tara Tax & Advisory to offer clients something rare: direct, personal access to a seasoned CPA who genuinely cares about their financial wellbeing.

With 22 years of experience across Big Four, a mid-sized CPA firm and a small local CPA firm, I've worked with businesses and individuals including Fortune 500 companies, high-profile clients, small businesses and complex individuals. This diverse experience gives me a unique perspective and the ability to bring sophisticated accounting, tax and advisory expertise to businesses and individuals in an approachable way. My goal is to bring that experience directly to you - with personalized service, practical advice and a relationship built on trust.

I enjoy scuba diving, snowboarding/skiing/skinning, hiking, mountain biking, walking my dog, rafting, paddleboarding, cornhole, playing games and traveling.
