Kevin Oliver

President & Founder

Kevin started his career in tax 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. 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 that led him to start a new tax practice. After working with one of the largest BBQ restaurant chains in North Texas as their fractional CFO, an idea sparked that transformed his business from a traditional tax/bookkeeping 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.

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 tax 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 tax and financial reporting. She started 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

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 passed the CPA exam in 2001. She then moved to Texas in October 2021 and became a member of the firm. With a vast tax knowledge, she specializes in 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.

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 business, she provides incredible insight to the direction of the firm (which is a must when you’re married to the firm owner).
