About Joe Paldino

Joe Paldino is a Certified Public Accountant and founder of Paldino Company CPA in Mamaroneck, New York, positioned around the tagline "Accounting with Heart, Clarity, and a Creative Touch."

Career path:
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Mercy College
• Auditor at Bennett Kielson
• Assistant Controller at Curry Auto Group
• Founder and CPA at Paldino Company CPA

What sets him apart:
Joe is also a working musician, and brings that creative, down-to-earth style into client relationships — described on his own site as someone who is "knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and fun," and "not your average CPA." He's also an animal-welfare advocate outside the practice.

Areas of expertise:
• Cannabis dispensary tax and accounting, including IRC Section 280E expense allocation for licensed dispensaries, cultivators, and producers
• Construction subcontractor accounting — job costing and Section 179 depreciation for HVAC, electrical, insulation, painting, and plumbing trades
• 1099 worker and gig-economy tax services, including Schedule C prep and quarterly estimates
• IRS tax problem resolution — notices, back taxes, installment agreements, and penalty abatement
• Core accounting, bookkeeping, business formation, and tax planning for individuals and small businesses

Approach:
Joe emphasizes real talk over "smoke and mirrors" — clear, jargon-free communication, transparency, and year-round responsiveness rather than a once-a-year, transactional relationship. His firm does not offer general payroll services, keeping the practice focused on tax, accounting, and advisory work.
