David Hinton moved to Win
ston-Salem in 1981 to join the CPA
firm of Garrett, Sullivan & Co. in
Greensboro as a senior accountant.
Three years later when the firm
changed its name to Garrett, Sulli
van, Davenport, Bowie and Grant,
CPAs PA, Hinton was named man
ager.
Hinton's relationship with the
Business & Technology Center
began in 1987 when his firm opened
a satellite office at the BTC for which he was named manager. The fol
lowing year, the firm dissolved its association, and Hinton began working
full time for Oliver W. BOwie. In late 1988., he became the chief finan
cial officer of TV Ventures, lnc./Great American Dream Corporation, two
telemarketing companies with common ownership. At the same time, he
purchased the furniture in the Winston-Salem office and took over the
lease in the BTC so that he could maintain a part-time practice. A year
later, he turned to his practice full time.
In addition to clients across the state, Hinton provides his services to
clients in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, and
Atlanta. His areas of concentration include auditing, bookeeping, tax
return preparation, tax planning, computer consultation, management
advisory services and IRS tax audit *
