Background

About Robert Raiola

I am the Director of the Sports and Entertainment Group Manager at O'Connor Davies, LLP, formerly Fazio, Mannuzza, Roche, Tankel, LaPilusa, LLC, with over 20 years of experience in both the public and private sector. I provide business management services, tax planning and business consulting to high net worth individuals and their families in the sports and entertainment industries. Over the years, I have worked closely with many small business owners on tax consulting and cash flow management. I’ve co-authored the AICPA book "Winning Tax Strategies for Athletes & Entertainers" and have lectured nationally on the topic. In addition, I was a founding trustee of the Chatham Athletic Foundation, an organization based in Chatham, NJ which is focused on promoting youth athletics and safety in athletics through public education programs. In June 2011, I received the Chatham Jaycees Distinguished Services Award for my work with the Chatham Athletic Foundation. Over the years, I have used my expertise in relation to sports and tax on twitter (https://twitter.com/SportsTaxMan), creating buzz and discussion on current hot topics. I have been featured in Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Boston Globe, NY Times, Stocks & Jocks, The Wall Street Journal and many other outlets. Please see a full list below.
