Kevin St. Germain

Kevin has over 23 years of public accounting experience.  He spent the first seven years of his career working in the Northeast for Coopers & Lybrand (now PriceWaterHouseCoopers) and Deloitte and Touché.  He spent the next eleven years working for both a local and a regional public accounting firm in Charleston, South Carolina.  Kevin’s public accounting experience has primarily been in the field of income taxation, although he started out in the audit department.  His income taxation experience has been, for most of his career, as a generalist working with family owned businesses.  Kevin has also had a lot of experience working with partnership taxation and helping clients structure business transactions.

In 2006, Kevin focused his practice around working with ultra-high net worth families and institutions that service these families.  Kevin assists these families with income taxation, estate/gift taxation, and financial planning.  He also helps these families with structuring pooled family investment partnerships.  In 2011, Kevin left Dixon Hughes (now Dixon Hughes Goodman) and launched Family Office Solutions, LLC.  This company, which was a lift out of Kevin’s practice, is focused on being an outsource solution for single family offices as well as multi-family offices and their clients.

Kevin’s current duties include mentoring staff, maintaining lead client relationships, business development, practice management, and setting the overall direction of the firm.

Kevin graduated from Marist College with a B.S. in Accounting and is certified to practice public accounting in New York and South Carolina.  He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
