“Born and
raised in both Boone and Weaverville, Bud purposefully chose to remain in
western North Carolina to serve clients, people, communityand profession. A
North Buncombe High School graduate, he then graduated from Mars Hill College
summa cum laude with a B.S. in Accounting.
His career
spanned many accounting sectors through the years providing Bud with a vast
array of knowledge and experience. He served as an IRS tax agent, a federal tax
manager for a Fortune 500 textile company, partnered with his brother, Scott,
in Hughes, Hughes & Company PA, and, upon merging their practice with JPS
in 2004, became a JPS Shareholder. Truly he has seen many sides and changes in
taxation throughout the years.
Bud has
been dedicated to JPS clients, our community and his family. He’s played an
active role in the community throughout the years, including serving as a Board
of Trustee at Mars Hill College and an active volunteer at First Baptist Church
of Asheville, Habitat for Humanity, and United Way of Asheville/Buncombe
County, to name a few.
“I’ve
enjoyed the people at JPS I’ve worked with and feel blessed by my client
relationships. I enjoyed following clients through their lives and life
transitions. It’s easy to see accounting as a business transaction but it’s
been a personal connection that’s more important than a tax return. Thank you
to all my clients and colleagues for your friendships and letting me be a part
of your lives.” – Bud Hughes
In
retirement, Bud looks forward to spending time with his family, especially the
grandkids, traveling, enjoying time at the beach, and, continuing to serve
western North Carolina.
Benjamin C. Hamrick, JPS
CEO and Shareholder, shares “Bud
has made a very positive and significant contribution to our firm, clients and
community. On behalf of our entire firm, we thank and congratulate Bud and wish
him the best in retirement.”
