Thomas A. Zoghby, CPA, MBA
Senior Vice President
Chief Financial Officer

“Over my 30-year association with the firm, I have valued being a part of a team committed to moving Volkert forward in our business and professional endeavors. For eight years before joining Volkert in 1984, I was the CPA managing external audits and consulting services for the firm. I have enjoyed being a part of the steady, manageable growth that our company has enjoyed. Through this approach we are able to maintain quality while still providing advancement opportunities for our employees. It is fun being part of a company large enough to compete with any firm when it comes to capabilities, but still small enough to maintain the flexibility that a dynamic environment requires.”
