Stephen Vardin

Owner and President. Always fascinated by mathematics, I started bookkeeping by learning on my own while I was in college. My generalist education enables me to be knowledgeable about all types of businesses. After graduating, a friend and I tried to start our own business building solar greenhouses. After some research, we realized it would not make any money. That took us a year. It was not easy finding help starting a business. Eureka! Thus, the idea for this business was born.

In 1981, I received a BA in General Studies from SUNY Plattsburgh.

Robert Paigo

Tax Preparer, bookkeeper and trainer. Stephen hired me in March of 1997. My previous experience enabled me to take charge of most of the income tax preparation here since then. I am also the full charge bookkeeper for many of our clients. I received an AAS in Accounting from Hudson Valley Community College in 1983. In 1985, I earned a BS in Business Administration from SUNY Brockport. Since graduation, I have worked in management and accounting in many different industries. At Stephen Vardin & Colleagues, Inc., I enjoy the personal way we handle each of our client's business and the flexible hours.
