Paldino Company CPA is a Mamaroneck, New York accounting and tax firm led by founder **Joe Paldino**, positioned around **"Accounting with Heart, Clarity, and a Creative Touch."** A trained musician as well as a CPA, Joe built the firm to humanize accounting — replacing "smoke and mirrors" with real talk, transparency, and a genuine interest in each client's success. The firm does not offer payroll services but otherwise covers a wide range of tax, accounting, and consulting needs for individuals and small businesses.
**Areas of practice:**
• **Cannabis dispensary tax & accounting** — specialized work for licensed medical and recreational marijuana dispensaries, cultivators, producers, and testing labs, including **IRC Section 280E** expense-allocation strategy, forensic accounting, sales/excise tax filings, and payroll processing under a tax code where the IRS still treats cannabis revenue as federally illicit
• **Construction subcontractor accounting** — job costing, project-specific cost tracking, and Section 179 equipment depreciation for HVAC, electrical, insulation, painting, and plumbing trades across New York, paired with guidance on trade-specific regulatory compliance
• **1099 worker & gig economy tax services** — Schedule C preparation, quarterly estimated taxes, deduction optimization, and cloud-based bookkeeping for independent contractors, freelancers, and consultants
• **IRS tax problem resolution** — responding to IRS notices, back tax return preparation, installment agreements, and penalty abatement requests, handled directly with the IRS on the client's behalf
• **Core accounting & tax services** — bookkeeping, QuickBooks support, new business formation and entity selection, business consulting, and both individual and business tax preparation
**Client base:** individuals, small businesses, start-ups, growing businesses, and mature corporations — with particular depth in cannabis operators, construction subcontractors, and 1099/gig workers.
The firm emphasizes plain-language explanations over jargon, year-round responsiveness, and a judgment-free approach to even the most complicated tax situations.
