Flavin & Associates, Inc. is a family run business started by George T. Flavin, EA in 1961 at Sierra Village six miles east of Twain Harte in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. The business first started inside George’s home and soon moved to a remodeled building on the same property. During the early ‘70’s, the business moved into what is now the Moose Lodge located on Longeway Rd in Mono Vista and was there for about four years. George moved the business back to the original office building on his property where it remained until 1995 when he purchased the lot at the corner of North Sunshine and Soulsbyville Road which had been the original gas station in Mono Vista. The old gas station was remodeled into our present office which offered more space for us and a more convenient location for our customers.

George’s children, Connie L.Ferrell, EA and Timothy G. Flavin, EA both have been working for George for a long time and after the move to Mono Vista bought the business and building from George which allowed George to retire in 2001. Connie and Tim now run all aspects of the business but still use the same values and traditions passed down to them from their now late father George Flavin.

Staff Profiles

Timothy G. Flavin, EA

I started working for my father in his business in 1985 after I received an AA in General Education from Columbia College. I went to Golden Gate University and received a Certificate in taxation in 1987. I passed the Enrolled Agents Exam in 1990 and now belong to the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) and the California Society of Enrolled Agents (CSEA). I am an NAEA Education Foundation Fellow having completed three years of education in taxpayer representation.

I manage the computers and equipment in the office and make sure that all equipment is up and running including FAX’s, Copy Machine and communication equipment.

I also prepare over 300 individual tax returns per year and help with corporations, estates and trusts, and partnerships along with preparing taxes for several small exempt organizations.

I have been involved in continued education at our local Big Valley chapter because I believe that continued education is cornerstone in every tax preparer’s career.

Now that I am co owner with my sister Connie Ferrell, we strive to bring all of our clients the best possible service in all aspects of taxes and bookkeeping.

I have lived in this community since I was five years old and I went to Long Barn School, Twain Harte School and Summerville High School where I graduated in 1973. I am married and have 2 children Trevor and Tristan.
