About Us

Sit down with Michael J. Pinter, CPA and you'll notice something that sets him apart from the big box tax chains: he actually explains what he's doing. Clients consistently describe their appointments as a genuine learning experience, where line items get unpacked, deductions get discussed, and nothing gets rubber-stamped. His office at Suite 7A on NJ-23 in Newfoundland serves as a home base for taxpayers across Sussex and Passaic Counties who want a real conversation, not a conveyor belt.

Michael has built his practice on the kind of continuity that only comes from trust. Many of his clients have been returning year after year, tax season after tax season, with zero surprises and zero problems. That track record isn't an accident. It comes from careful, consistent work and a commitment to getting the details right the first time.

Newfoundland sits at the edge of the Highlands region, a community of homeowners, small business owners, and self-employed professionals who need an accountant who understands their specific financial picture. Michael knows this territory and the tax situations that come with it.

What We Offer

Tax preparation is the cornerstone of the practice, covering individual returns, self-employed filers, and small business filings with the same level of attention regardless of complexity. Whether your return involves a W-2 or a Schedule C with multiple income streams, Michael works through it with you, not just for you.

Beyond the annual return, Michael offers tax planning consultations designed to help clients make smarter financial decisions throughout the year, not just in April. He also provides accounting and bookkeeping support for small business owners who need clean, reliable records without the overhead of a full-time accountant on staff.

For new clients, the first meeting is a real conversation about your situation, your goals, and what you've been doing right or could be doing better. That kind of personalized financial guidance is what keeps clients coming back to pintercpa.com year after year.

Why Choose Us

Michael personally handles every return, so your file never gets handed off to a junior preparer you've never met.
Clients report zero errors over multiple consecutive years, a track record built on careful, methodical review.
Every appointment includes a plain-language explanation of your return, so you leave understanding your own taxes.
Located right on NJ-23 in Newfoundland, convenient to clients throughout Sussex and Passaic Counties.
Small practice means real availability: you reach Michael directly, not a call center or a voicemail queue.
Consultation-style approach surfaces opportunities like deductions and planning strategies that generic software misses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?

An appointment is strongly recommended, especially during tax season. Michael works by consultation, which means he dedicates focused time to each client. Contact the office through pintercpa.com to schedule your session.

What documents should I bring to my tax appointment?

Bring all income documents such as W-2s, 1099s, and K-1s, along with records of any deductible expenses, mortgage interest statements, property tax bills, and last year's return if you are a new client. The more complete your records, the more thorough Michael can be.

Does Michael handle small business accounting, or only personal taxes?

Both. Michael works with self-employed individuals, sole proprietors, and small business owners on tax preparation, bookkeeping, and year-round accounting support. If you run a business in the NJ-23 corridor, he is well-positioned to help.

How far in advance should I schedule during tax season?

Tax season slots fill quickly for a solo CPA practice. Aim to schedule in January or early February if your return has any complexity. Late filers are welcome, and extension planning is available if needed.

Can Michael help me if I have back taxes or unfiled returns from prior years?

Yes. Catching up on prior-year returns is a service Michael can assist with. Bring whatever documentation you have from the years in question and he will work through the best path forward.

What makes working with a local CPA different from using tax software?

Tax software applies generic rules. A CPA applies judgment. Michael reviews your specific situation, asks follow-up questions, and identifies deductions or issues that automated tools routinely miss. For most clients, that conversation pays for itself.

Is the office easy to find on NJ-23 in Newfoundland?

Yes. The office is located at 2713 NJ-23, Suite 7A in Newfoundland, NJ 07435. It is accessible from Route 23 and serves clients from throughout the surrounding Highland Lakes, Vernon, and West Milford areas.
