After graduating college with an Accounting degree and working in corporate banking accounting, Randy Newton founded Newton, Greene & Associates in 1999 alongside his partner, Todd Greene.

Randy’s area of expertise is the utilization of a pro-active tax planning model that streamlines, simplifies and works to reduce tax liabilities for small businesses. “That is what initially caught my attention about Randy,” said partner Todd Greene. “He is relentless and enthusiastic in educating clients about the ever-changing tax codes and constantly seeking how to save them additional tax dollars. Randy doesn’t wait for clients to come to him, he goes to them.”

As a big believer in continuing education and professional development, Randy stays active in the profession not only by joining state societies, but actually stepping into leadership roles within them. He’s the president of the local NCACPA chapter and sub-committee chair of the tax committee of the North Carolina Association of CPAs (NCACPA). He’s also an active member of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society.

Randy, his wife Ann, and son Chandler currently reside in Tega Cay, SC, where Randy is on the finance committee for the town. During free time Randy enjoys hiking and mountain biking. He also volunteers quite frequently at his home church, Myers Park Presbyterian Church located in Charlotte, NC, as well as other churches and charities.

On a fun note, Randy is an Eagle Scout of Boy Scouts of America. He also dedicates a lot of his time to public speaking engagements, not only business-wise, but personally as well. “It is important to stay up-to-date with the constantly changing state and federal laws that could effect clients and their companies. I set out to stay current with these tax law changes and provide opportunities to educate my clients about them, which ultimately saves them money on their returns.” –Randy Newton

Todd Greene joined Newton, Greene & Associates in 2003. Under his management, the firm doubled in size after one year, and since has experienced continual growth internally as well as externally. Todd and Randy’s partnership has proven to be a successful one with their unique proactive business model centered on helping clients further bottom line growth.

“Todd brings an immense wealth of knowledge and expertise to the firm,” says Randy Newton. “He is fully dedicated to protecting, educating and leading clients to unimaginable heights by saving them money with year-round assessments and counsel.”

Prior to Newton, Greene & Associates, Todd worked as a staff accountant focused on individuals and small businesses for a couple different CPA firms. According to Todd, Newton, Greene & Associates is clearly set apart from competitors. “We have a very interactive approach by not only offering our clients year-round financial help, but proactively contacting them with suggestions and advice.”

With over 12 years of experience in the accounting field, his areas of focus include helping small business owners with their individual taxation, strategic consulting, multi-state allocation of income and estate planning. Additionally, his active involvement as a small business owner allows him to offer other business owners expertise in how to effectively initiate growth, save tax dollars and become more efficient.

Todd graduated with a double major in accounting and finance from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1999. He is a member of the North Carolina Association of CPAs (NCACPA) and obtains licenses to practice in North Carolina and Alabama.

Currently residing in Charlotte, NC, Todd spends time away from the office with his wife Geneva, and three sons Garris, Jonathan and Mark. The family enjoys hiking and playing tennis together. Todd is also an active member of Saint Matthews Catholic Church, on the board of Charlotte’s Speech and Hearing Center, and a member of a Catholic men's fraternal benefit society known as the Knights of Columbus.
