In an industry defined by complexity, skepticism, and constant regulatory change, Theogony Financial has built its reputation on something simple: trust. For nearly three decades, founder and CEO Dyron Bush has guided clients through tax strategy, compliance, and financial planning with a level of precision that has kept his firm in a league of its own.
"I've been doing this since 2008, and we finally fully arrived. We are nationally recognized," Bush says. "We just got accredited with an A+ rating at the Better Business Bureau, and I was recently offered the opportunity to address Congress through the National Small Business Association."
That recognition is the product of years of discipline, client-first service, and a willingness to adapt. Bush founded the firm during the depths of the 2008 financial crisis, a time when many businesses were shuttering, not opening their doors. Instead of overextending on overheads, he took a pragmatic route. "I didn't go and sign a lease for $800 a month. I started with a virtual office, built slowly, and gave myself staying power," he recalls.
A Business Built on Accuracy
Tax preparation is an arena where mistakes can devastate clients for years. Bush is quick to emphasize that his work goes far beyond filing returns. He focuses on proactive planning, risk mitigation, and strategies that align with individual financial goals.
One client's case stands out. "She came to me because she felt her taxes were wrong," he says. "Once I reviewed it, I realized she was retired and disabled, but H&R Block had been treating her income as taxable. That mistake was repeated for about five years. We're talking about a $15,000 to $20,000 error."
Bush wrote to the IRS and secured her refunds. "Her eyes lit up when I told her. She ended up getting back about $9,000—and that helped her put a down payment on a house. That's the kind of impact we want to have."
It is a philosophy that has defined Theogony Financial. In nearly 30 years, not a single client of the firm has been audited by the IRS. For Bush, that statistic is more than a point of pride. It's proof of meticulous compliance.
Scaling Through Technology and Partnerships
Bush has never been content to rely on traditional models. His firm's joint venture with Intuit TurboTax opened doors to scalable, technology-driven services for clients across the country. "That was crazy—here I was, working with a Fortune 500 company," he recalls. "They stood behind me, and it gave me the chance to expand fast."
Technology is also reshaping the very foundation of accounting, and Bush has taken steps to stay ahead. "AI is moving at such a fast rate," he says. "That's why I'm diversifying into public speaking, blogging, and podcasting. Ultimately, I see it as a way to bring financial literacy to more people, while building resilience for the firm."
The firm's website features client calculators, while his podcast, Mechanics of Money, dives into issues rarely covered in mainstream media. "The news can only go so deep. On the podcast, I can spend 20 or 30 minutes zooming in on the details. That's where I said early on that we were already in a recession—people laughed at me, but now the job numbers prove it."
Balancing Growth with Trust
Expansion is central to Bush's vision, but he insists it cannot come at the expense of credibility. "I want to get my name out, get my company's name out," he says. "But at the same time, you have to build trust with clients. That's not an overnight process."
Part of that balance is knowing when to outsource. "This year, going into October, I'm going to outsource some of the more simplistic returns, so I can focus on the complex ones that need more of my attention," he explains. It's a pragmatic approach that allows Theogony Financial to handle volume without compromising its reputation for accuracy.
His emphasis on trust has roots in family. "My father used to tell me: be kind to the people on your way up, because you'll meet them again on your way down," Bush says. It's a philosophy he carries into every client interaction.
Beyond Taxes: A Broader Footprint
Theogony Financial is no longer just a boutique accounting firm. Bush has successfully saved clients millions of dollars. As CFO, he successfully transitioned the CEO's company from an LLC to an S-Corp, which significantly reduced the tax basis. Furthermore, he has expanded into advisory board roles, guiding CEOs on corporate tax strategies, M&A structuring, and financial oversight. He also serves as CFO of Therapeutic Professionals, LLC, and recently joined Elite Resource Group and M&A Business Advisors.
"I measure success by the respect I get from my peers," he says. "I've been on the news four times already, and I sit in board meetings with CEOs who know more than me but are willing to listen. If I can earn that kind of respect, then I've made it."
Looking ahead, Bush is pursuing an MBA at Grand Canyon University, with plans to sit for both the Enrolled Agent and CPA exams upon graduation. "Graduate school has been like case study after case study," he says. "It's teaching me how to apply everything I've learned in practice to new levels of strategy."
The Next Chapter
Bush sees the future of accounting as a blend of human insight and technological innovation. "QuickBooks already lets you snap a picture of a receipt and it classifies it automatically. That's where we're going," he says. Yet for all the change, he insists the fundamentals remain the same: precision, trust, and service. "In a world where tax codes change faster than headlines, trust is the one currency that never loses value. At Theogony Financial, precision builds protection, and technology builds tomorrow."
At the heart of it, Theogony Financial's story is about resilience. Born in the worst financial crisis of the 21st century, the firm is now positioned to shape how clients navigate the next.
Or, as Bush puts it: "I get exhilaration from helping people. I like problem solving. That's what keeps me going."
