Gerry Adams CPA, CHAE
Gerry is a Shareholder and Director of Strategic Planning and Development at Clothier & Head. In the 32 years he has been active in accounting, Gerry has consistently gone the extra mile with clients, naturally making this his favorite part of the job. For the past 17 years, Gerry has used his experience to make Clothier & Head an outstanding firm; including experience in Tokyo where he specialized in expatriate taxation issues; and Hawaii, where he worked on-site for a hotel/resort. With special focus on business owners and hospitality, he provides a key role in the firm. He also has a background that includes litigation support and expert witness work (expert opinion with respect to damages, business fraud investigations, forensic accounting and analysis of business information). But he won’t stop there. Making this a premier firm in Seattle is his goal.
