Kevin Oliver

President & Founder

Kevin started his accounting career while attending the University of North Texas. One evening in the Spring of 2003, he was at Chili’s having dinner with his older brother Mike, a well-respected CPA who owned a practice in Rockwall, TX at the time. Over chips & salsa, Mike offered Kevin a job at his tax practice as a bookkeeper/tax preparer. From there, the rest was history.

After having spent many years in tax, Kevin discovered a passion for entrepreneurs and started his own tax practice. After working with one of the largest BBQ restaurant chains in North Texas as their fractional CFO, an idea sparked that transformed the business from a traditional accounting firm into a tax advisory practice. Being more involved with clients on a CFO-like platform gives him a great deal of joy, which is how Oliver Tax Group was born.

Kevin and his wife Angela live in Rockwall, TX. They have three children, one boy and two girls, who attend Heritage Christian Academy. Music is at the heart of their home, with Kevin actively playing trumpet in the Dallas music scene and his wife who is an all-star piano & clarinet player. He shares his wife’s passion for last minute vacations, Universal Studios, & Harry Potter.

Samantha Mendoza

Client Relations, Executive Team

Since 2017, Samantha has been a vital part of the Oliver family tax practice. Samantha has taken on numerous responsibilities, becoming proficient in IT support, tax preparation, payroll processing, and various aspects of bookkeeping. She studied Organizational Leadership from Texas A&M Commerce and has a strong technical background.

Samantha resides in Royse City with her family and stays busy as a dedicated mother. She loves shopping, watching movies, vacations to the beach, perfumes and candles for her home and all things that smell heavenly. She loves country and alternative music from the 90’s/2000’s, when she may have gone through a brief “emo phase”. In her leisure time, she enjoys supporting her daughter in cheerleading and her son in baseball, as well as spending quality moments with her husband of 16 years.

Teresa Rigutto

Senior CAS Director

From the very beginning of Oliver Tax Group, Teresa has been at the core of the firm. Teresa is an extremely skilled asset to our team, and someone very special to all of us. She oversees the CAS (client accounting services) aspect of the firm by preparing financial statements and routinely communicates with our business owners, many of whom she has known for years.

Teresa graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia with an accounting degree. She then began her career working with a CPA firm, expanded her personal tax skills with H&R Block, and then began working with us many years ago in all areas of tax and financial statement preparation. Her extensive experience in all areas of accounting make her a valuable resource for our clients.

Gardening & travel are very important to Teresa, and spending time with friends. Teresa always had a strong skillset for accounting, starting out in high school doing the bookkeeping for a neighbor that owned an auto parts store. They still talk to this day, which is a testimony of her care for her clients and her desire to develop long-term relationships with others.

Corinne Alonzo, CPA

Accounting Director, CFO

Corinne came to our firm all the way from Hawaii where she had worked in areas of tax & high-level financial reporting. She grew up in Honolulu, then moved to the lush green part of the island after she got married. We all feel so sorry for her to have grown up in such a horrible climate and welcome her to the lovely Texas heat.

She graduated from the University of Hawaii with a BBA in Accounting and obtained her CPA license in 2001. She then moved to Texas in October 2021 and became a member of the firm. With a vast knowledge of tax, she specializes in accounting software, financial statement analysis, and tax return preparation. Going beyond the financial statements, Corinne takes a CFO approach to help our clients see their business in unique ways.

Corinne and her husband live in Heath, TX with their daughter. Corinne has a passion for Asian food (mainly Japanese and Korean), which fits perfectly here in the diverse culinary melting pot of our firm. She loves cooking, baking, watching K-dramas and taking her dogs on walks. Her positive attitude and uplifting spirit are a blessing to all of us and our clients.

Angela Oliver

Project Coordinator

Angela graduated from Southern Methodist University in 2006 with her BA in music. After teaching for a few years, she joined the family accounting business in 2009. She started as an office manager and soon became the payroll administrator for the firm. Her role then expanded into a bookkeeping position, where she assisted in financial statement reporting. After working full-time for many years, running hundreds of payrolls, preparing financials for our clients, and answering thousands of calls, Angela took some time off to take care of her growing family.

A few years later, Angela returned to work for Oliver Tax Group and now serves as Project Coordinator. With her experience in working for the family accounting business, she provides incredible insight to the direction of the firm (which is a must when you’re married to the firm owner). Angela is a second-generation Korean American, as her mother came to the US from Korea as a teenager. She loves Korean food, the Beatles, Harry Potter, taking random trips to Disney/Universal, and spending quality time with her family.
