Mary S Rhyne - CPA, CTC, Founder

Mary grew up here in Wilmington and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a BS in Business Administration.

In 2023, Mary became a Certified Tax Coach to be able to serve her clients at a higher level. Mary is married to her high school crush, and together, they have three children and a dog. In her free time, Mary loves volunteering at her church’s Bible study and spending time with her family.
