Hello. Thanks for your interest. I’m Gary Bode, a national and international CPA with a virtual office for long distance clients. Our physical office is in Wilmington, NC.
” Your CPA impacts your bottom line, through attitude and ability. Especially when backed by relevant training and experience.”
Becoming a CPA requires:
- Relevant education, in my case a Master’s degree in the Science of Accountancy.
- Relevant experience. Please read below.
- Obtaining professional references.
- Passing four comprehensive examinations.
My experience, training and accreditation include:
- CFO experience with a NC regional mental health care/Psychiatry practice.
- Controller experience for a Real Estate development and Construction firms.
- Holding a Master’s Degree in Accountancy. Some CPAs don’t. Does it make a difference? Sometimes.
- Former Tax Editor for Healthcare Portfolios for Certified Financial Planners.
- Past Tax Instructor for Liberty Tax Service.
- Former Quick Books and Computerized Accounting Instructor for Baker College online.
- Over 40 hours a year of Continuing Professional Education a year. Yes, things change that fast.

- Over two decades of tax preparation experience: personal, business, non-profit and payroll.
- Member AICPA & NCACPA.
