Chris Gallo

Creative Planning Business Services

Chris began his career working on Capitol Hill in Washington DC as a Staff Assistant for F. James Sensenbrenner who, at the time was the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee for the United States House of Representatives. Working as a liaison between Federal Government and State and Local Governments, Chris became an expert in State and Local tax (SALT) code, more importantly an expert in State and Local audit defense and business compliance.

Leaving the Federal Government, Chris joined a small firm in Eastern Iowa which focused solely on Sales and Use Tax Audit and review as well as Property Tax assessment.  Having grown the business of the firm out of Eastern Iowa, into multi state Sales and Use Tax practice, Chris then took his expertise in the field to BerganKDV.

Chris joined BerganKDV in August 2016 to create and build a State and Local Tax practice from the ground up.  

Over the past five years he has taken a startup, single state SALT practice and grown it into a multi-million dollar practice with expertise in every state and local jurisdiction.  

The SALT team Chris built now leads the nation in multi-state SALT consulting and compliance and acts as the outsourced advisory and compliance team for over 200 businesses around the world.

Chris then took his business building expertise and focused it on the Client Accounting Services Practice within BerganKDV where he built, led, and grew strategy for BerganKDV’s Financial Accounting and Advisory Services Team.

In 2023, Chris joined the BerganKDV Leadership team to help lead the Firm through its sale to Creative Planning. He then merged the Creative Planning ERP and Payroll teams under his leadership. The team now lives in Creative Planning Business Services under the Outsourced Business Accounting team.  The new creation represents a full-service financial team, which allows clients to consume all levels of outsourced accounting in one solution.

As leader of the Outsourced Business Accounting team, Chris changed the focus from back-office accounting to true business advisory.  Chris has grown the Outsourced Business Accounting Services in Creative Planning Business Services into another multi-million-dollar service, realizing for massive growth and market acceptance, year over year.

A graduate of the University of Northern Iowa Business School with a BS in Public Administration with an emphasis in Economics, Chris enjoys watching his kids play sports, traveling with his family, and spending as much time fishing as he can.
