Who I Am

I’m John Tillman, a CPA based in Raleigh, North Carolina. With over 18 years of experience in corporate tax and accounting, I’ve helped businesses of all sizes—from Startups to Fortune 500 companies—navigate their financial challenges. My journey began in the mountains of North Carolina, where I grew up embracing a love for numbers and problem-solving. With a foundation in engineering and advanced accounting education, I bring precision and problem-solving skills to my practice. My unwavering honesty and integrity ensure your finances are in trusted hands. I bring that same dedication to my clients today, offering personalized accounting solutions tailored to your unique needs.

What Sets Me Apart

1-on-1 Personal Attention:

Unlike large accounting firms, I believe in a hands-on approach. You’ll work directly with me, ensuring that you receive the personalized attention your business deserves.

Big-Firm Expertise, Small-Firm Care:

I bring the knowledge and skills gained from my years at a “Big-4” accounting firm and Fortune 500 companies to a more intimate, client-focused setting. This means you get the best of both worlds—expert advice with a personal touch.

Focus on Automation & Efficiency:

As a tech-savvy CPA, I’m passionate about leveraging automation to streamline accounting processes. From cloud-based bookkeeping to automated tax reporting, I use industry-leading technology and custom robotic processes to save you time and reduce errors.

Beyond the Numbers

Outside of accounting, I’m a family man who enjoys spending time with my wife and son here in Raleigh. When I’m not crunching numbers, you’ll likely find me on my bike, an electric skateboard, throwing a frisbee, or visiting a random town. My goal with this firm is to ultimately find balance between work and pleasure.

My Vision for Jet CPA

I started Jet CPA with a vision to reimagine the client experience. By combining technology with a human touch, my goal is to create a cloud-based firm that’s both efficient and approachable. I aim to become the go-to CPA for small businesses and freelancers who seek budget-friendly, personalized accounting services.
