J. Timothy Fulmer has taken his expertise in tax accounting and opened his own CPA office in Rogers.

“I’ve got a lot of tax experience and that’s basically what I bring to the table, that’s my focus,” Fulmer said.

The new office also does some audit work and accounting for small businesses.

Fulmer has 15 years accounting experience. He worked as a CPA in Fort Smith for about 11 years before he and his wife relocated to Northwest Arkansas. He had partnered with another CPA firm his first few years in the area but decided last year he’d rather have his own firm.

The new office has two employees in addition to Fulmer — a staff accountant and a receptionist. Fulmer plans to hire another CPA in the coming months, but he’s not in any hurry.

“For a CPA, quality staff is real important,” he said. “I just want to be real deliberate about my growth.”

Within the next three years, he’ll likely add the new CPA and one other accountant to the staff. By then, the lease on the 1,200 SF office space he’s rented will be up and he’ll have to move if he wants the staff to grow more, Fulmer said.

He invested about $20,000 to open the new CPA firm. Fulmer said it started out as personal investment, but he’s obtained a business loan since the office opened in October. The firm is already making a profit, he said.
