History

Established in 2014.

Gina B. Tallman, CPA, is the new owner of Mackley & Company and is very excited to get to know Mark Mackley’s clients, and is always accepting new clients!

A little about me, professionally:

I was a tax preparer with CSD & Co. since January 2009. I earned my CPA certification, after a grueling exam, plus education and experience requirements, in June of 2010. I am uniquely suited to this type of work, with an analytical mind and a penchant for solving problems. Working in a small city, most of my clients are small businesses or individuals whose complexity of investments have exceeded their ability or willingness to prepare their own taxes.

I am most certainly your typical accountant-​type. I have moments of social awkwardness and tend towards the introverted. However, I did, at some point in my adult life, learn how to talk to other adults and I strive to be approachable, friendly, and comprehensible.

Business Owner

I consider myself an Alaskradan. I was born in Alaska and moved to Colorado when I was a child, though I continued to summer there through college. My love affair with Colorado becomes more intense every year, but Alaska will always be home.

I’m a single mom to a silly second-​grader. Often my time in the office is limited because of my obligations to him, so I’ve learned to make the most of the time I am here. Don’t get me wrong, I still work 5 days and 40 hours a week most weeks.

I am a volunteer programmer (i.e. DJ) at KAFM 88.1 fm, our community radio station here in Grand Junction. Hear me on the second and fourth Saturdays at 6 pm! I play mostly rock, R&B, and Americana.

I rediscovered snowboarding last winter after a very unfortunate five-​year hiatus. Other than taking out a small aspen with my head a minute and a half into my first run, it was absolutely the best thing about my winter.
