Nate Cote
Director of Operations & Professional Services
Nate received his Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from the University of Rhode Island in 2001. After working for 7 years in the fitness industry, he decided he needed a change. One of his personal training clients, who was a CPA, asked if he knew anyone interested in helping prepare tax returns during tax season. Nate offered his time and quickly realized that he had found his new career path. He contacted the Dean of Accounting at the University of Rhode Island to find out what courses he would need to become a CPA candidate and soon started his course load in accounting and business courses. Nate was fortunate to get the opportunity to start his first full-time accounting position at a mid-size regional accounting firm, where he worked for 4 years, reaching the Senior level in their tax department. From there, he moved on and found his new home at Otrando Porcaro & Associates, where he has been since November 2012.
