Tara Murphy was born in Dallas, TX, grew up in Irving, TX, and moved to the rapidly growing city of Frisco in 2015.

Originally wanting to pursue a career in the Fine Arts, she changed her interest to Accounting after her first child in 1997. Heading the Accounting department at a small custom furniture company, she was introduced to the accounting software QuickBooks and received a certification as a Certified Public Bookkeeper.

With the growth of her family, she decided to become the CEO of “The Murphy Clan”.  Tara went further with her certification and decided to start her own business working for CPA firms and small businesses as an independent bookkeeper. 

In 2016 she became a full-time employee of Joe Hockaday CPA.  At the firm she spreads her knowledge of bookkeeping and QuickBooks through training classes for clients and managing the books for a variety of businesses. During tax season she loves to dive into all tax returns and help clients look for that extra deduction.

When she is not behind a computer, she enjoys time with her family, husband, and her four wonderful children.
