At Salem Tax & Financial we pride ourselves on being able to offer you tax-efficient strategies for all aspects of your financial life. Our understanding of your tax situation, and ongoing contact with you, means that we can tailor our advice to your specific financial needs, and adapt it to your changing circumstances.
As owners, Richard Travaglino & Tyler Buck are constantly looking for ways to improve the tax and financial services they offer (so do let us know your suggestions). Just a hint to facilitate initial phone conversations: “Travaglino” may be easier to pronounce American-style as “Travel-lean-o” and “Tyler” is female (she was named for her vivacious great aunt).
All tax returns are reviewed by a Tax Specialist
with the following qualifications:
Richard L. Travaglino, EA, MST
Rich Travaglino is a graduate of Suffolk University in Boston, where he earned a Masters of Science in Taxation (MST). Currently he is an adjunct Professor of Taxation at Suffolk University and President of Salem Tax & Financial, Inc.
Rich's other professional designation is Enrolled Agent (EA). An Enrolled Agent is a tax specialist who is granted a license by the IRS to practice and represent clients before the IRS. If you have a current or past problem, he'll represent you so that you don't have to deal directly with the IRS yourself. The license is granted after passing a two-day examination in taxation administered by the IRS. To maintain his professional status, he must keep up with changing tax laws, and earn numerous continuing education credits each year. |

Rich started his tax career in Massachusetts and came to Salem, New Hampshire in the early 1990's to work with the more complicated situations that apply to "multi-state" tax filers. He is particularly expert in dealing with the issues of Southern New Hampshire residents who work in Massachusetts. Rich is known for preparing accurate tax returns. His vast knowledge allows him to utilize Tax Law to its fullest extent, resulting in the taxpayer paying the least amount of tax allowed by law.
Tyler Buck provides comprehensive financial services as well as being an experienced tax consultant and business accountant. She started her career as a financial advisor in Britain in 1987 and soon rose to a regional position with an international bank, specializing in retirement, investment, and succession plans for business owners.
In the mid-nineties Tyler joined the corporate tax department of a British-American company, based in Massachusetts. She was offered a promotion and move to NYC to prepare the tax returns for the Financial Times, but instead she accepted a position as the CFO of a small tax software firm. Early this century, she accepted an offer from her former tax teacher to become co-owner of Salem Tax & Financial.
Tyler enjoys numerous continuing education opportunities. Her undergraduate degree is from William and Mary and her graduate degree is from Edinburgh University in Scotland.
The following quotation best describes our philosophy
at Salem Tax & Financial:
Anyone may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury... Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike, and all do right; for nobody owes any public duty to pay MORE than the law demands.
Judge Learned Hand (1872-1961),
US Court of Appeals Judge
