Darryl Stafford, CPA & MBA, brings wealth of education and experience to his role of Tax Manager at PCOB.

Darryl has a background in tax compliance, planning, and consulting services for individuals and closely held businesses — not to mention the summers he spent working for a family-owned pest control company, giving him an understanding of challenges faced by business owners in the industry.

When he’s off the clock, his favorite place to spend quality time with family and friends is at Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire— boating, swimming, or just docking the boat to grab lunch.
