Workshop A Speaker | What Do Your Financial Statements Say About You? | Tuesday, June 20th

Tim Raines has been a Jacksonville CPA since 1996 and joined P&R in 2012 as a tax manager. His experience is significant and far-reaching. He graduated from the University of West Florida with a bachelor's degree in business administration and a master's in accountancy, with an emphasis in taxation. He's held experience in all levels of accounting, including training and supervising staff, reviewing tax projects, performing complex tax research, and fostering and maintaining client relationships from beginning to end.

Mr. Raines' current clients are owners of businesses that range in size from small, single owner/operator entities to large conglomerates operating in all 50 states and internationally. He’s established a niche working with high net-worth individuals who maintain complex corporate and business arrangements, giving him the opportunity to become proficient in alternative engagements, such as large estates and litigation support.

Having started his academic education with a scholarship for advanced technology, Mr. Raines never lost his passion for computers. He assists many clients in evaluating their individual technological needs and manages P&R's use of technology. A few years ago, he was named one of CPA Technology's Top 40 CPAs under 40. Mr. Raines has been a long-time member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and is a past president of the Jacksonville Chapter of the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants (FICPA). He served on the FICPA Personal Financial Planning and the State Taxation committees, where he served as chair of the Estate and Financial Planning Annual Conference.

When he isn't attending or presenting various courses and seminars, Tim spends his time with his wife Stefanie and their 3 children: Emory, Andrea, and Gianna. He's also involved with various church and civic activities.

Workshop: Accounting has long been called the "Language of Business", but few business owners know how to speak the language with bankers, investors, or even themselves. Many small business owners are simply too busy making money (or losing money) to care about their financial statements.  Learning more about your company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement can help you understand the financial health of and better manage your business, get a loan, or attract investors.
