Jody Lowe, AFSP

Jody has been surrounded by the tax profession since 1994. During the early years, she worked part-time during tax season but devoted most of her time to her family. Once the “empty nest” occurred, she began to devote her time and energy to the tax profession. While working at Jim’s former firm, her tax knowledge enabled her to make sure every return was double checked for accuracy & integrity while helping manage the day to day operations of the office. Jody now owns and operates AVL Tax Professionals.
