Tony Carion began his career in 1988 at Ernst & Young servicing pre-IPO clients as well as technology giants such as Apple, Genentech and Monster Cable. The experience gained and business relationships formed during his time at E&Y has been a valuable resource.
Tony obtained his CPA license in 1993 made partner at Smith, Lange & Phillips in 1997. Tony headed the firm's stock option group spending the majority of his time at the firm’s Redwood Shores office during the late 90's tech boom advising employees of the biggest companies in Silicon Valley including IBM, Cisco Systems, Genentech, Pixar, Intel, Microsoft, EA, Yahoo and HP. Tony’s more recent client additions are employees of Google, Apple, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Opentable, Dropbox, Solarwinds, Uber, Airbnb and Tesla.
Tony’s unique ISO strategies not only resulted in immense tax savings for his clients during the tech boom but also preserved millions of dollars of wealth for his clients when the bubble burst in 2000 as a result of risk management strategies. Tony’s ability to analyze a client’s tax situation, equity plan and liquidity enables him to recommend best strategies for his clients based on their particular goals and risk tolerance.
