PETER TARANTINO

Certified Public Accountant

Every time Congress tries to simplify the tax code, they add even more complex rules and regulations. That makes it extremely difficult for the average person to keep up with all the changes. Many folks comment that they always used to do their own taxes, but with the changes in the laws, it has become too burdensome to handle. That’s where Peter can help. The primary focus of his practice is on helping individuals and small businesses with their accounting and tax needs.

Peter was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY.  He has been in the public accounting profession since 1986. In 1999, following the birth of his first child, Peter and his wife Cathie decided they would raise their family in the South and chose metro Atlanta for their home.

Peter works extensively with small and medium sized businesses. He enjoys working with clients, putting an emphasis on creating sound bookkeeping systems, preparation of financial statements, income tax planning & preparation, tax conflict resolution and business consultation.

Between 1980 and 1986, Peter worked full time while attending Pace University in New York City. He earned his way through college and graduated in January 1986 with a Bachelor of Business Administration with concentrations in Accounting, Taxation and Law.

Peter enjoys meeting personally with his clients. It is very rewarding to be able to help guide clients through the labyrinth of tax and financial issues. Peter’s clients have come to expect, and receive, professional competent services in a relaxing atmosphere. No one is afraid to ask questions.

Peter’s greatest professional achievement is the relationships he has established and maintained with his clients. They depend on him and he thrives on exceeding their expectations. Many of Peter’s clients have been with him in excess of 20 years.

Peter enjoys time at the beach with his family, Panama City Beach or Hilton Head Island will do just fine. He and his wife Cathie live in Milton, GA, with their two sons, Alexander and Nicholas, and Bunns and Coco, their Siberian cats.
