Tate Henshaw – 2019 40 Under 40 Honoree

Over the last 11 years, Tate has been helping Grammy Winners, NBA All-Stars, and Emmy Winning Television hosts navigate their financial futures at Polay+Clark.  Over the last 2+ years, he has extended that into helping other accountants, bookkeepers, and advisors with their businesses based off of my experiences through my role as a National Xero Ambassador.

What are you doing to make a difference in the profession, your community, the world?

I’ve been able to continue to follow my passion for playing music by leading worship at Northpointe Church for the past 10+ years.  This has allowed me to minister to people both in the church and in the surrounding communities, as well as worldwide through our original music via streaming platforms.
