Certified Public Accountant

Don McFarland


Don McFarland grew up in Claymont, Delaware, just a short distance from Philadelphia which was convenient as he is a lifelong Philly sports fan.



Don graduated from Carson-Newman College (now University) in Jefferson City, Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business. While attending, he was a 4-year starter in baseball and tri-captain his senior year.

After college, Don established a firm in Tennessee where he was a partner for 23 years prior to moving to North Carolina and joined Holden Moss in February of 2016. He is a licensed CPA/PFS in NC as well as TN, and a member of AICPA and NCACPA.


Outside of work, Don travels near and far for concerts: Dave Matthews, Rolling Stones, Springsteen, OAR, and Matchbox 20 to name a few. He spends his time reading, watching sports, or doing yard work.


He grew up playing baseball, basketball, and football. He previously coached baseball teams ages 9-12 and 13-15 for 11 years and coached a collegiate summer league team.


Currently, he mostly golfs with a single-digit handicap, regularly playing and competing in Carolina Golf Association and Carolina Professional Golf Association tournaments. He also likes to keep up with his 5 older brothers and extended families.
