Our People
KIMBERLEY DAGES, Principal
Kim has been building client relationships since 1991. She enjoys meeting people, learning their stories, and establishing long-term relationships. She and her husband enjoy living in Hanover, Virginia, where they raised three children. Her interests include hiking, traveling and working out with her gym buddies. Kim’s thirty-plus years of experience include many industries: restaurant, retail, real estate, and various services. While Kim prepares all types of tax returns, her favorite work is with small businesses, providing year-round assistance with tax and accounting needs. Kim earned a Master's Degree in Taxation from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1996, her CPA certificate in 1989 and a BBA in Accounting from James Madison University in 1986. |
ROSEMARY H. BURROWS, Tax Preparer
Rose is a licensed CPA with 25 years of varied tax and accounting experience serving individuals, small businesses and not-for-profits. Having been self-employed for 17 years, she joined The Dages Group in 2018. She enjoys helping clients translate their everyday business transactions into meaningful feedback for management. She prepares client returns with the same integrity and diligence she uses on her own returns. Rose and her husband are raising their three boys in Hanover County, and her interests include cooking and eating great food, watching and playing tennis, and trail walking. |
KAREN GRIFFIN, Office Manager
Karen joined The Dages Group in November 2021. Karen’s first degree is in engineering and she worked in the paper industry before deciding to become a stay-at-home mom. Now that her children are adults, she has decided to reenter the workforce, pursue a career in accounting, and obtain her CPA license. As she finishes her studies, she will be the first friendly face and voice who greets you when visiting or calling our office. Karen handles all of the administrative needs of the firm. Her interests include sports, exercise, and travel. Karen has lived all across the U.S but returned to Hanover County where she grew up and currently enjoys country living with her family on 10 acres. |
KAREN ROSSER, Staff Accountant
Attention to detail and organization are vital attributes that Karen brings to the firm. She graduated with a BS in Commerce with an accounting major from UVA in 1990 and worked in public accounting and private industry. She decided to stay at home after her two daughters were born and spent the next 11 years as a substitute teacher with Hanover County Public Schools. In addition to her interest in education and encouraging children, she also served as treasurer in local businesses and non-profit organizations. We were thrilled when Karen chose to join the firm in 2019 and reinstate her CPA license in 2022. Karen enjoys spending time with her family, playing tennis, and relaxing at the river. |
PAM THOMPSON
Pam, a born and raised Texan, moved to the Richmond area in 2006 with her husband and two sons. With a math and IT background, her first career was in systems design and programming. An active volunteer, Pam can be found serving her community at PTAs and church activities. Since 2016 she has provided no-charge tax services to retirees, as well as low-income taxpayers with AARP TaxAide. Being a detail oriented, left-brain thinker, she really enjoys working with numbers, thus a second career in tax preparation was an obvious choice. Working with The Dages Group since 2017, she enjoys interacting with the clients and learning about their tax needs and is our resident expert in all things related to education credits and 529 plans. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, puzzles, cross-stitch, reading, and watching British detective series on Britbox. |
