Stephen Von HagelCPA, CGMA

Stephen Von Hagel, CPA, joined the BMSS team in 2009 and has over 20 years of public accounting experience. Based in Birmingham, he specializes in audit and assurance services, including financial statement audits, reviews and compilation services, as well as outsourced controller and accounting services.

Referred to as “SVH” by his colleagues, he is described as a team member who genuinely cares about the people he is working with and for. He brings an amiable, down-to-earth approach to every engagement, often with a good sense of humor mixed in. These attributes help create highly personable client experiences. Given the intensive nature of the work, being personable is a much-needed skill to help move along an otherwise daunting process. Stephen credits his parents and his education for much of his success.

Stephen lives in Vestavia with his wife, Tonya, and their three daughters. He and his wife met while attending school at the University of Alabama. Outside of work, he loves taking family vacations and spending intentional time together, as well as coaching his daughters in youth sports.
