Our story

We have wandered the world for many years, adventuring from the peaks of Mount Sinai to the depths of the Amazon, from the haunted castles of Romania to the uninhabited islands of the Pacific. Over and over again we saw entrepreneurs and small businesses hold and grow their communities together.

Inspired by endless encounters with small business entrepreneurs around the world, an idea was born – to provide small business owners with honest, transparent and accessible Bookkeeping and Virtual CFO services. Services built on strong personal relationships and a genuine desire to help.

From there, we crafted a business to provide smart financial advice to small business owners, offering them savvy, honest, transparent and accessible guidance – without the suits, ties and stiff jargon. 

Not your average accountant.
