Attracct Accounting Advisors, the award-winning accounting and tax advisory firm, is pleased to announce the addition of Thomas B. Poole Jr., CPA to its growing team. This addition reflects the firm’s continued investment in building operational depth while staying true to its Louisiana roots and hands-on approach to financial partnership.

A native of Zachary, Louisiana, Thomas brings nearly a decade of experience spanning public accounting and corporate financial leadership. His diverse background combines the technical rigor of public practice with the practical realities of in-house finance and positions him to deliver the kind of grounded, actionable financial guidance that drives real business outcomes for Attracct’s growth-minded partners.

“We’re excited to build a team that can deliver on our promise of being true financial partners,” says John Roberts, Attracct Co-Founder and Principal. “Thomas brings exactly what our partners need: deep technical knowledge combined with the experience of sitting in the room where those tough calls are made. That perspective is invaluable.”

Strengthening Operational Accounting Excellence

Thomas’s arrival enhances Attracct’s capabilities across the core operational and financial management functions that form the foundation of sound business decision-making:

  • Month-End Close and Financial Reporting
  • Accounts Payable and Receivable Management
  • Budget Development and Forecasting
  • Strategic Financial Analysis and Planning

From Public Practice to Operations Leadership

After launching his career at Postlethwaite & Netterville, Thomas has progressively built his expertise across three distinct environments: public accounting at a Louisiana firm, corporate finance at a global manufacturer, and operational accounting leadership in industrial distribution. His extensive background across sectors gives him a clear perspective on how financial clarity translates into real business decisions at every level. We’re thrilled to welcome Thomas aboard to share his strategic financial insights and help business owners and leadership teams reach new heights of success.
