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).
As 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).
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, PhD
Tyler Buck is adept at combining her knowledge of financial services along with her experience as a tax consultant and business accountant. She started her career in Britain as a financial advisor with an international bank, specializing in retirement, investment, and succession plans for business owners.
In the nineties Tyler moved to Massachusetts and joined the corporate tax department of a British-American company. After a company merger she was offered a position as the Senior Tax Accountant for the “Financial Times” in NYC. Instead she remained in New England as the CFO of a tax software firm. Early this century Tyler joined her former tax teacher as co-owner of Salem Tax & Financial.
Tyler serves on the board of a non-profit and enjoys numerous opportunities for continuing education. Her undergraduate degree is from the College of 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
