Tinkler professional accounting Services

Not your ordinary cpa firm

Tinkler Professional Accounting Services, formed in 2016 as once a ‘side-gig’, has manifested into a full-service CPA firm. Founded by Claire Tinkler, a licensed CPA since 2013, our journey extends from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, serving clients nationwide. Specializing in industries often overlooked, we provide up-to-date expertise on ever-changing tax laws.

Our commitment to personalized service and communication is backed by years of experience, ensuring all work undergoes meticulous review by a licensed CPA. Empowering clients to shine and grow in all aspects of life, we offer comprehensive services from tax planning and preparation, accounting services such as monthly or quarterly bookkeeping and/or bookkeeping clean-up, payroll and sales/use tax filing and processing, to goals tracking & insight and outsourced CFO solutions.

With over a decade of experience, continuing education, staying up to date on the current tax revisions and regulations & a vast network, we craft tailored tax and business strategies for any industry. Although we work with all industries, our passion lies in serving the under-served and over-stigmatized sectors like cannabis, psychedelics, tattoo shops & their artists, service providers, entertainers and the adult/sex industry, fostering growth and wealth in every client’s journey.

→ About Claire

why cannabis & Psychedelics?

My personal experiences with and love for all things cannabis and psychedelics have profoundly impacted my life- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, bringing a sense of calm and full clarity to my life and career. This journey has ignited a passion to work in the cannabis and psychedelics industries, where I’ve found a supportive community that embraces collaboration and mutual growth. I am drawn to the grassroots nature of the industries, where everyone contributes to each other’s success. Through my involvement, I aim to contribute to this supportive environment and help others experience the positive transformations that I have found through all things nature.

why sex workers/entertainers?

I appreciate this industry more than words can describe and I can thank my lucky stars for it, as well. I absolutely enjoy working with individuals & businesses in the sex and adult industries and am constantly amazed by their will & dedication to making their lives better, their resilience, intelligence, and determination. Witnessing their journeys and growth is inspiring, and I find fulfillment in supporting them to maximize their financial potential. My motivation stems from a desire to empower these individuals with financial knowledge, enabling them to redirect their earnings strategically for long-term success, potentially achieving generational wealth within only a few short years. I wish to be the mentor I once longed for, providing guidance on savings, financial growth & taxes, and overall financial well-being, helping them secure a brighter future.

why everyone else?

Because my life’s goal is helping as many people & their businesses as possible!

Working in tax planning and advisory services holds special meaning for me as a part of a generation that transitioned from encyclopedia-based school papers to a digital era. So, I sympathize with both parties in the room. My firsthand experience with familial complexities, including divorce, fuels my passion to assist others in navigating financial planning for both themselves and their aging parents (yes, let’s just be honest here… we’re ALL getting older and four parents is a lot, and we all want the absolute best for our parents, all of them). I am dedicated to ensuring that my generation (& their parents) is well-equipped to secure their retirements while fostering a collaborative approach that helps everyone reach their fullest potential. In my belief, a better world emerges when we come together, supporting one another in achieving individual and collective greatness.

No, we aren’t your office full of men and women forced to work in suits, miserably plugging numbers in a cubicle all day. This is not ‘Office Space’.
