Tina Richards
Senior Manager
CPA
Background
Tina has long loved numbers. Back in college, she entertained the idea of being a math teacher before following the track toward becoming a CPA. “There’s a lot of teaching in our line of work, and every tax return provides a learning opportunity.”
Tina is very much at home sitting down with clients and newer staff members in order to support their growth and success. “With the firm, I get to be something of a generalist and do just about everything across the board with S-Corps, partnerships, and individuals. I always look for ways to be supportive, to invest my time in someone else, and to remain available and approachable. It’s important to the overall process of being sure the work is done the right way, and that people are always improving their skills.” Outside of work, Tina likes to travel, try new restaurants, and participate in water sports such as diving and wake boarding.
