Meet the people behind Capital Grove.

Ben co-founded Capital Grove Tax to help business owners and investors navigate the tax issues that come with running a business and building wealth. As an IRS Enrolled Agent, he specializes in complex tax matters and is authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS.

His work includes S-corporations, partnerships, real estate investments, and businesses with multiple entities. He has particular experience with real estate taxation, including real estate professional status, short-term rentals, cost segregation, and 1031 exchanges. He also works with S-corporation owners on reasonable compensation and basis tracking, as well as businesses facing IRS payroll tax issues.

Ben came to tax through his own experience investing in real estate, where he saw firsthand how much the right strategy, or the wrong one, could affect an owner’s bottom line. Before entering the profession, he earned a master’s degree in nursing, and he enjoys working with healthcare providers among his clients.

Ben values careful analysis, attention to detail, and taking the time to explain complicated issues in understandable terms. Behind the scenes, he also develops Capital Grove Tax’s internal systems and workflows to keep client work organized and consistent.

Ben is based in North Carolina and works with clients nationwide.

Connor Low is a Co-Founder of Capital Grove Tax, where he leads firm strategy and growth and advises clients on tax planning. An IRS Enrolled Agent, Connor also founded Iarann Wealth, an independent wealth management firm based in Durham, North Carolina, and brings a planning-first perspective to the tax side: understanding how decisions made today shape a client’s tax picture for years to come. Highly analytical and entrepreneurial by nature, Connor enjoys understanding how things work, questioning conventional thinking, and finding better ways to solve complex problems. He has a strong drive for continuous improvement, whether that means building a business, pursuing a new idea, or taking on a new challenge.

Connor is a native New Yorker with deep Irish roots. His family immigrated from Ireland to New York in the 1920s, and that heritage shaped the values he brings to both of his firms: strength, resilience, and durability. Those qualities are central to how he thinks about building businesses that last and serving clients for the long term.

Outside of finance, Connor is an avid traveler who enjoys experiencing different cultures, food, and traditions. Italy and Japan are his favorite destinations, and he is always looking for somewhere new to explore. He is also a longtime anime fan and collector, with an appreciation for watches, design, and unique pieces that tell a story.

Fitness is a major part of Connor’s life. He is a dedicated heavy weightlifter and trains in mixed martial arts, enjoying both the physical challenge and the discipline required to continually improve.

Connor approaches life with curiosity, intensity, and a willingness to take calculated risks. Whether he is working through a client’s tax strategy, growing a business, training, traveling, or diving into a new interest, he is rarely content standing still. He values independence, adaptability, and constantly finding new ways to learn, improve, and push himself forward.
