Andre Zagmout founded Zagmout & Company CPAs in 2015 with a clear mission: to deliver personalized, high-quality financial guidance that empowers clients to make confident, informed decisions about their wealth. Drawing on his extensive background serving high-net-worth individuals and business owners, Andre focuses on integrating tax strategy, business advisory, and advanced financial planning into one cohesive approach.

Before establishing his firm, Andre honed his expertise in the private wealth divisions of The Northern Trust Company, Merrill Lynch, and Deloitte Tax LLP, where he advised affluent families, entrepreneurs, and executives on complex tax and financial matters. His career reflects a blend of analytical precision and genuine care — values deeply shaped by his time in the U.S. Army Special Forces, where discipline, integrity, and leadership became the foundation of his professional ethos.

Andre holds a bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Economics from Wesley College and master’s degrees in Taxation and Computational Finance from DePaul University. He is also the founder of the Zagmout Family Foundation, which supports educational and community initiatives focused on advancing financial literacy and opportunity.

Beyond his professional life, Andre is an avid long-distance runner, golfer, and sailor — and is currently training to become a private pilot, reflecting his passion for precision, discipline, and lifelong learning. He remains deeply committed to service, both to his clients and his community, helping others pursue freedom — financial and personal — through knowledge, planning, and purpose.
