Ross McVey
Ross McVey is what you might call a "Technical Diplomat" — someone equally fluent in the language of cybersecurity and the language of tax law. That combination is rare. And for Fox Valley small business owners and individuals, it's genuinely useful.
After 15+ years in enterprise technology and cybersecurity — most recently as a Senior Security Solutions Principal Architect at Verizon Business — Ross founded Badger & Fox Tax to bring the same rigor and discipline he applied to Fortune 500 security problems to the tax challenges of Fox Valley families and entrepreneurs.
The result: clients who get unusually thorough, unusually secure tax and accounting services from someone who treats their financial data with the same seriousness that enterprise companies pay millions to achieve.
Why Cybersecurity + Tax?
Your tax return contains your Social Security Number, bank routing numbers, employer details, and income history. It's one of the most sensitive documents you produce each year. Most people hand it to a preparer without asking a single question about how their data is stored, transmitted, or protected.
Ross holds the CISSP — the gold standard certification in information security. He's required by the IRS to maintain a Written Information Security Plan (WISP). And he built the same encrypted infrastructure into this firm's client portal that he spent years helping enterprises design for themselves.
