About us

Burke Accounting & Advisory (BAA) was built on the values I grew up with in Hilo, Hawai‘i: gratitude, perseverance, and community. These principles shaped who I am and continue to guide how we serve every client.

After earning my CPA and spending nearly a decade working with venture capital firms, startups, and nonprofits in Silicon Valley, I saw how powerful strong financial systems can be. They create stability, open doors, and give people the confidence to grow with intention.

I started this firm because I believe that level of clarity and support should be available to everyone, not just large companies with big budgets. At BAA, we blend financial expertise with integrity and aloha to help business owners and individuals understand their numbers, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence.

We are especially committed to supporting Native Hawaiian, AAPI-owned businesses, and underserved communities by providing accessible financial education and high-quality guidance rooted in local values.

Outside of work, you’ll find me spending time with family and friends, connecting with nature, and supporting local businesses and community programs.

With aloha,

Timothy “Timmy” Burke, CPA
