Timothy Finerty

Shareholder, System Integrators

Tim Finerty - International CPA

As an owner of the firm, Tim is known for his inclusive & solutions-oriented approach, and his ability to easily connect with clients and staff alike.

What is your area of focus?

I work with closely held businesses; providing high-level tax, accounting and consulting services to business owners of domestic and foreign-owned subsidiaries. As practice leader for our manufacturing industry, I am particularly attuned to the needs of small and midsized growth-driven businesses in the manufacturing, system integrator, distribution and service related industries. As my background includes helping the manufacturing sector expand to Mexico and Latin American, I help owners ease their global expansion plans through the firm’s internal and external network of experts.
