Joshua Giminez, CPA, EA, CFP®
Certified Public Accountant, Tax Consultant, & Financial Advisor

Joshua founded Fair Winds Tax and Financial, LLC in 2009 with the primary goal of helping you to save money. Using financial tools and strategies, he can also help your money grow.

Joshua provides the Services of Financial/Retirement Planning, Tax Return Preparation & Consulting, and Accounting to those that need it.  

Before Fair Winds Tax and Financial, LLC, Josh worked for a national Tax Return Preparation firm (since 2004) as well as a national Financial Planning firm (in 2008).  When it came to Taxes, Joshua always believed that he should give Tax Advice when needed, and offer personal Financial Planning for his Clients’ additional benefit but was limited by both of his former employers.  While working at the prior Financial Planning firm, helping Clients improve their monetary situations, Joshua found what he considered an unnecessary focus on selling products (e.g., mutual funds and/or insurance products), as well as very little emphasis on what he considered the important Tax Savings strategies (i.e., IRA movements and Tax credits/deductions).

Currently, he serves as both a Tax Consultant, an Accountant, and a  Financial Advisor.  Josh always tries to achieve client's goals such as Tax savings, personal or business budgeting, and retirement funds growth.  The Financial Planning comes in the form of a Fee-only, independent model, where he can help his Clients get closer to their Financial Goals by focusing on what actually works for the Client (without you having to worry about paying commissions based on buying products or handing over your money to be controlled by someone else).  Additionally, he engages in small business Tax consulting and accounting, and can help set up their 401(k) or similar benefits plan for both the owner and the employees' benefit.  

Josh likes to learn and share his financial knowledge to help others, believing one should open her/his mind to learning, through books as well as within their local culture.  He has received numerous scholarships worth full tuition rides to Michigan State University (MSU), located in East Lansing, where he attained his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering.  He and his wife, Ann, met in MSU; when she accepted a faculty position at The Ohio State University (The OSU) in 2002 (where she taught for 3 years), they moved in to their new hometown -- Columbus, OH.  

Josh and Ann live in the Dublin area of metro Columbus.  Both like the metro area, including the metro parks for walking/hiking, metro libraries for great information open to the public, slightly warmer weather then Michigan, and a few more sunny days per year.  They are physically active, enjoying a variety of exercises.  Both greatly value physical and mental health, which they believe helps them to be better able (and happier) to learn from and teach others financial solutions during every day of their lives.
