About TMB Tax & Financial Services B.C., Founder Talibah Bayles
A Birmingham native and esteemed leader, Talibah Bayles is a renowned National Small Business Advocate with a unique blend of local dedication and national influence. As the visionary driving force behind TMB Tax & Financial Services Benefit Corporation, she stands out not only as an entrepreneur but also as a committed champion for equitable access to opportunities to create and own profitable small businesses.
A 2021 graduate of the Small Business Administration (SBA) Emerging Leaders Class, Ms. Bayles brings a rare combination of grassroots enthusiasm and extensive federal experience to her role, connecting local insights with a broader national perspective.
Talibah's background includes significant experience in Washington, D.C., where she deepened her understanding of legislative processes and justice administration as a federal employee of over 15 years. Working on U.S. Capitol Hill and with the Department of Justice, she gained invaluable insights into the complexities of policy-making and its impact on small businesses, particularly those in minority communities. This experience has been a cornerstone in her journey as an advocate, shaping her strategies for advocating fair and accessible financial solutions on both local and national levels.
Her advocacy was notably highlighted in July 2020 when Ms. Bayles testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship. Her compelling testimony advocated for minority-owned small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the need for equitable access to capital. This testimony laid the groundwork for the Get Bankable™ CEO Coaching Program.
In May 2024, Talibah was tapped to serve on the Board of Directors of Small Business Majority - a national small business organization of more than 85,000 small businesses and 1,500 business and community organizations that empowers America's diverse entrepreneurs to build a thriving and equitable economy. Locally, she serves: as an Instructor at the Miles College Women's Business Center (MCWBC) funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) (2023-current); the Birmingham Business Coach for the SBA T.H.R.I.V.E Emerging Leadership Program (2023-current); PTO Board Treasurer of the John Carroll Catholic High School (2023-current), and Board of Directors Board Treasurer of Davenport & Harris Funeral Home, Inc.
