Tom Walker
CFO
Dallas Cowboys

After graduating from Oklahoma State with a Bachelors in Finance and a Masters in Accounting (Tax Emphasis), Tom went to work full time in KPMG's Dallas office. Shortly after moving to the Dallas office, he transitioned into KPMG's high net worth individual practice. For the next 4+ years, Tom focused exclusively on financial planning for corporate executives and income and transfer tax for high net worth individuals. From 2001-2003, Tom worked in KPMG's International Tax and Legal Center in Amsterdam. During this time, his focus was on building a global network of practitioners to service KPMG’s ultra high net worth clients and on assisting the global risk group in conducting due diligence reviews on KPMG’s offices worldwide. 

Shortly after returning to the United States in late 2003, Tom joined the Jones family organization as the Tax Director for the Jones family and their business interests. In that role, he was responsible for all tax matters (income, payroll, property, transfer, etc) related to the family, the football team or any other business interest. As the Chief Financial Officer, Tom’s role has expanded to include investment analysis, operational tracking and general oversight on all investments and financial matters for the Jones family and their related business enterprises.

Tom and his wife Stephanie have been married since college and are the proud parents of 3 children - Stephen (2002), Nathaniel (2003) and Theodore (2007). Tom enjoys all types of sports activities with a special emphasis on soccer and of course football.
