I started Black Sails Accounting Solutions for one simple reason — I want to help small business owners become more successful. The starting point for that success is getting clear on your company’s financials.

While numbers have always been my thing, what really started me on this path was owning and operating a business myself. After working in a corporate finance job and hating it, my wife and I opened a fitness studio. I coached the classes, wrote the workouts, cleaned the floors, met with new prospects, hired/fired staff, worked every weekend (sound familiar to you?).

I spent far too long avoiding my financial statements. Not because I didn’t understand them…I was afraid of the story they might tell. As long as there was cash in the bank, I didn’t dive too deep. As a small business owner, you are juggling so many things that accounting is the last thing you want to deal with.

BUT — when I wanted to get serious about growing my business, there was no way around it. Embracing the numbers turned out to be a driving force for every big decision I needed to make. Fortunately for me, I had some excellent mentors along the way to guide me.

After owning and operating several successful businesses over the past 13 years, I can think of no better mission than being that mentor and partner for other business owners. Whether you are just getting started or are looking to push your business to the next level, I’d love the opportunity to chat with you about your goals.
