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.

Founded by Tarin Cote, CPA

Tarin grew up around the trades and understands firsthand the realities of running a hands-on business. He 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

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.
