History

Established in 2010.

We are entrepreneurial CPAs who have been in the Game, meaning — we’ve been in your shoes. We’ve experienced the highs and lows, the trials and tribulations of business firsthand. From a stroke of genius in the night giving rise to a new idea, to the wee morning hours making the dream real, we’ve been in your shoes. We’ve tasted the sweetness of victory and the bitterness of defeat.

We are not number historians reporting on past results. Instead, we are experienced business people who happen to be CPAs. We know numbers, more importantly, we know business.
