Why Tripi & Peer Tax and Accounting, LLC?

Responsive, proactive guidance makes the difference.

A responsive, proactive accountant makes all the difference—that’s why we’re selective about the clients we take on, especially in the realm of small business accounting. We want to ensure that every client receives the time, attention, and expertise they deserve.

We are one of the few accounting firms that aim to partner with our clients, becoming their full-service financial mentor. We specialize in bookkeeping for trades professionals and service-based businesses and take the time to learn your business, designing specialized accounting processes that simplify your financial management. This approach allows us to provide the insights necessary for optimal tax savings and growth opportunities, including tailored tax services for contractors.

Together, we’ll build and refine a plan for your success. We didn’t achieve ours alone—and you won’t have to either.

Kristin Naiko

Kristin is a graduate of Syracuse University, and joined us in 2021. As is the case in most accounting offices, lack of an organized support staff creates havoc. Kristin keeps us on task as she handles the central part of our organization. She ensures that client requests are timely addressed, and keeps the flow of tax season going as smoothly as possible. She wears many hats for us as she controls the chaos of a busy filing season.
