About Sagacity Tax & Accounting


Our Story and Values

Founded in 2008 as an extension of TCL Professional Services, Sagacity Tax & Accounting was built to provide thoughtful, sagacious financial guidance to individuals and small businesses in the Twin Cities and beyond. From day one, our core values have been integrity, insight, and a client-first approach to every decision and recommendation.


We believe your tax and accounting work shouldn’t feel rushed or transactional. It should feel like an ongoing relationship with an experienced tax advisor in Minnesota who understands your goals and stands beside you year after year. Sagacity Tax has grown through referrals from clients who appreciate our clear explanations, practical guidance, and steady support when life and business change. This is the Sagacity Tax story: a Twin Cities CPA firm background grounded in wisdom, patience, and doing what’s right for each client, not what’s easiest.

Thomas Lamey

Thomas Lamey is a Minnesota-licensed Certified Public Accountant and long-time Twin Cities resident. As the principal behind Sagacity Tax, Thomas combines technical tax knowledge with a calm, educational style so clients feel empowered rather than overwhelmed. Over the years, he has helped individuals, families, and professional service businesses navigate everything from straightforward returns to complex multi-state situations. His goal is simple: provide wise, compliant strategies that help clients keep more of what they earn while staying on the right side of the tax law.


Clients appreciate that when they work with Sagacity Tax, they’re not passed around a large office. They have direct access to a CPA who knows their file and remembers their story. Thomas’ membership in professional organizations like the MN Society of CPAs and his commitment to ongoing education reflect the firm’s focus on professionalism and staying current with changing regulations.

What Sets Us Apart

Personalized Service for Every Client


We work hard to maintain a “hands-on, small client relationship feel.” Your questions are answered by someone who knows your situation, not a call center. We take time to explain options, walk through scenarios, and make sure you understand each step, so you’re never left guessing about your finances.

Expertise That Helps You Save Money


As a CPA firm, we look beyond simple form-filling and focus on prudent tax strategies that can save you money over time. That includes thoughtful year-round planning, reviewing how your business is structured, and coordinating your tax preparation services with forward-looking advice. Clients turn to Sagacity Tax when they want an experienced tax advisor in Minnesota who can spot opportunities, help them avoid costly mistakes, and keep an eye on how today’s decisions affect future years.

Trust and Professionalism


Sagacity Tax is a licensed CPA firm in Minnesota and authorized to prepare taxes in all 50 states, giving clients confidence that their returns are handled with care and in full compliance. We maintain current credentials and professional liability coverage to protect our clients and our work. Our membership in organizations such as the MN Society of CPAs reflects our commitment to ethics, continuing education, and professional standards.

Sagacity Tax’s story is closely tied to the Twin Cities community. Based in the East Metro near St. Paul, we’ve spent years helping local residents and business owners manage their tax and accounting needs with a down-to-earth approach. Our involvement in professional groups and local networks helps us stay connected to the issues that matter to Minnesota taxpayers and small businesses.
