Tim spent 7 years in public accounting with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young. Plus & Minus Software was conceived during a project converting a main-frame accounting system from tape to disc. With more than 40 years of experience in the technology industry, Tim has an edge on adapting to its constant innovations. He is driven to provide his customers with the data flexibility they need to make operational and management decisions.

Tim subsequently managed manufacturing companies, giving him an insider’s view of accounting applications. His years of experience in both the public accounting and business worlds give him a unique and advantageous perspective. Seamlessly, Tim guides the company’s continual update of user experience both on and offline.

Tim has dual degrees in Accounting and Computer Science. He served in the Army Signal Corp, specializing in computing, and was discharged as Captain.

Tim is no stranger to taking on disparate activities. From muscle cars (particularly Corvettes) to Master’s swim teams to piano to choral performances – he has a genuine enthusiasm and a special deep-rooted zest for life. Quite the Renaissance man, he brings this contagious energy into his entrepreneurial ventures.
