Meet the Team

  • Lindsay never thought she would become an accountant. Although her father, Neil Byzick, has always recognized and nurtured her knack for numbers, her career path only became clear after she completed a retail internship in pursuit of a Bachelor’s in Business Management and realized it was not the right fit. Instead, she found that accounting wasn’t just in her blood -it was in her heart. Lindsay stayed at Oregon State University an extra year to complete a second bachelor’s degree in Accounting. After working in the audit practice at KPMG Portland, she made the transition to tax. This allowed for more time to raise her children (three boys and one girl), and develop a more personal connection to her clients. Passionate that building relationships is paramount to driving success, Lindsay is most proud of the family-friendly atmosphere at Byzick and Company. In her free time (ha!) Lindsay enjoys family bike rides, traveling, camping, baking and cheering on her kids’ sports teams.

  • Collin is an (almost) lifelong Oregonian, having grown up in Tualatin. With degrees in both Accounting and Finance from Oregon State University, he began his career as a CPA in the Business Tax Services practice at KPMG before joining Byzick and Company in 2017. He enjoys working directly with individuals and small businesses to help solve their tax and financial puzzles.

  • Jeff has a Masters in Counseling and started his career as a counselor, working with adolescents at a treatment facility. After a fulfilling 10-year journey in the field, he transitioned into management of the family business. It has been an incredible experience, and he takes great pleasure in working with our clients and supporting our team's growth. When he’s not working, you'll find him enjoying time with his lovely wife and their four kids. They love camping, trips to the beach, and playing various sports. He especially loves being on the field coaching alongside his kids.

  • Tarn prepares and reviews both individual and business tax returns, and assists clients with bookkeeping and payroll. Tarn grew up in northern California, and received her bachelor’s degree at UCLA. Having started in our Hillsboro office, she is now planted in Corvallis, enjoying the community and access to the beautiful outdoors.

  • Joelle joined Byzick and Company in 2022 as Administrative Manager for our Hillsboro office, bringing more than eight years of experience in accounti­ng and administra­tive fields. She truly enjoys working with clients the most. “I seek to develop meaningful relati­onships by getting to know clients as people, not just a number,” Joelle says. An avid traveler, Joelle recently spent five weeks in Europe for a trip of a life­time exploring places like Iceland, London, Venice and Florence. As an Oregon na­tive, she loves the outdoors and discovering all of the beauti­ful places in the Pacific Northwest. “I’m beyond grateful to work with a dedicated team who truly cares about clients. The down-to-earth, professional culture, and strong emphasis of having a work-life balance makes coming to work something I look forward to every day.”

  • Mary is a stalwart of our Hillsboro office. She has a BS in Finance from the University of Portland. Originally, she spent 15+ years as a commercial lender for a major bank. After a hiatus at home with her children, she became a Licensed Tax Consultant and joined the Byzick team. She comes from a family of accountants who love puzzles and board games.

  • Katy graduated from Oregon State University with a double major in accounting and finance. Having been through Byzick and Company’s tax internship, it was clear her talents were suited to the tax profession. She has her hand in many pots, including individual tax returns, payroll, and bookkeeping. In her free time, Katy enjoys watching detective shows, like Bones and Psych, and reading fantasy/sci-fi books on her Kindle.

  • Colleen has worked in our Corvallis office for nearly 20 years. She specializes in estates, trusts and complicated individual returns. Her family is a priority: she is a single mother who raised three children; she now has eight grandchildren. A California native, she has also lived in Oregon, Washington and Virginia. She enjoys being out of doors, especially the mountains. Her favorite activities are shopping, reading, sewing and fishing.

  • After graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Portland (Go Pilots!), Annael began her career in KPMG Portland's audit practice. After five years in public accounting, she joined the Byzick and Company team. Coming from an entrepreneurial family, Annael’s passion lies in helping small business owners develop strategic tax plans and in supporting individuals in achieving self-defined success through financial literacy. Annael loves seeing that Byzick’s clients are the business owners and families who make Portland home, and is always excited to build new relationships and help each client work toward their personal goals. When she isn’t in the office, you can find Annael hiking with her dog, traveling to explore a new place, hitting the gym, or learning something new via the latest Netflix documentary.

  • With over forty-five years in the accounting profession, Neil finds joy and purpose in helping clients find the best solutions to their accounting needs. His multi-dimensional background, including studies and field experience in technology, education, business management, certified financial planning and stock and real estate broking, helps to bridge the gap with clients outside of the accounting realm, offering a diverse perspective with regard to their life and finances. Neil stands firmly on the belief that both his staff and his clients are a part of the Byzick Family.

  • Alex settled in Corvallis in 2011, drawn to its warm community and immediate access to special places outdoors. While unsuited to be a pure accountant (his words), he does revel in tax strategy and otherwise balances administrative, technical, and quality assurance roles. When not in office, he is likely brewing a cup of coffee, petting a cat, taking pictures, riding a bicycle, and seeking magic moments in the High Sierra.

  • Barbara has been in accounting for over 30 years. She has been married for 35 years to Randy and has 4 children between the ages of 19 and 34. No grandkids yet but can’t wait! She has two pets, Murphy the Aussiedoodle, and Smokey the cat. When not working, Barbara enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, bowling, going to the movies and a good wine tasting.

  • Gloria is the Administrative Manager for our Corvallis office. She has been with the firm since 2008. Over the years, she has developed strong relationships with both our clients and her colleagues. She is passionate about helping others and loves working with people in the community. When Gloria is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, watching her boys play sports, camping, gardening, hiking, photography, and crafting.

  • Amy is an Enrolled Agent and Licensed Tax Preparer. She cares about doing each tax return as if it was her own. Having come from Oregon’s largest Medicare insurance company, she saw firsthand how retirees' ability to find favorable health outcomes was frequently tied to their financial savviness and resourcefulness in figuring out governmental and health system procedures. When not at work, Amy enjoys cooking, yardwork, and hanging out with family and friends.
