management biography

As President and Founder of Cyclone Management, Inc. Tom Pazol has built a multiple-client family office dedicated to helping clients optimize the management of their wealth and business affairs.

Since 1988 Tom has focused his career on guiding families through the more complex aspects of managing their wealth including investing liquid assets, maximizing the value of closely held operating businesses, multi-generational and succession planning, estate and trust issues, risk management and maximizing the value of philanthropy.

Tom served for seven years as a member of the Entrepreneurial Services practice group of Ernst & Young. In helping to objectify long-term financial and personal strategies for hundreds of family and closely held business owners, Tom has developed as an acknowledged authority in many areas of wealth management for ultra high net worth families.

In 1995, Tom was recruited to join Uniforms To You, and provided dedicated counsel to the controlling family in the next steps of the company's evolution. Tom played a key role in the sale of the business and in the development of strategies to manage the family wealth. This family has remained a client of Cyclone Management since the sale of their business.

A recent review places performance of assets under the supervision of Cyclone Management in the 13th percentile among ultra high net worth individuals and families.

Tom was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Indiana University, and is a CPA. Tom has written extensively and speaks on a variety of subjects at professional and family office conferences. His article "Mistakes Families Make Managing Their Wealth and Business Affairs....and How To Avoid Them" was recently featured in the Journal of Taxation of Investments.
