WHO WE ARE

Accounting built for businesses that run on job sites, not boardrooms.

T&C LLP was built to deliver clear, accurate accounting without the stiff, traditional feel. We work with contractors and trades businesses who want straight answers, dependable support, and an accounting firm that understands how their business actually runs. No overcomplicated reports. No talking in circles.

T&C LLP was founded by Tarin Cote, CPA, who grew up around the trades and understands firsthand the realities of running a hands-on business. Tarin built the firm with a simple goal: provide practical, honest accounting support that helps business owners stay organized, plan ahead, and make confident decisions without the noise or intimidation that often comes with accounting.

Our goal is to make the numbers make sense, keep things on track, and help you plan ahead with confidence so you can focus on your work and getting home at the end of the day.

OUR SERVICES

Bookkeeping

We keep your books clean, current, and ready so you always know where you stand and what’s coming next.

Personal Tax Returns

We prepare personal tax returns for business owners and individuals, ensuring all income sources, deductions, and credits are properly reported and optimized.

Corporate Tax Returns

We prepare and file corporate tax returns accurately and on time, with a focus on compliance, deductions, and opportunities to reduce tax where possible.

Compilation Engagements

We prepare reliable financial statements based on information you provide. Our compilation engagements are designed to support tax filings, financing, and internal decision-making without unnecessary complexity.

Tax Planning

We provide proactive tax planning to help you minimize tax, improve cash flow, and make informed decisions throughout the year, not just at filing time.

Tax Reorganizations

We assist with tax-efficient restructurings to support growth, succession, or risk management, coordinating planning and execution to ensure the right outcome with minimal tax exposure.

Personal tax preparation

Personal returns prepared with contractor income in mind, so deductions are captured and everything ties back cleanly to the corporate picture.

Corporate, trust, and personal tax planning

Practical year-round planning for salary vs dividends, installments, and year-end decisions, so you stay compliant and avoid surprise balances.

HOW WE WORK

A simple process that respects your time.

We start with a structured intake and discovery process to understand your business, goals, and current situation. This ensures we have the right information from day one and that our work is aligned with what matters most to you.

Business people in office

Strategy without execution is just expensive PowerPoint.

Our team handles the accounting, tax, and compliance work accurately and efficiently. We manage the details, keep things on track, and maintain clear communication throughout the process.

Business people in office

This is where most consulting firms walk away. We don't.

We review everything thoroughly before delivering clear, complete, and easy-to-understand results. You receive finalized filings, reports, or statements—on time and with confidence.
