Summary
Many business owners work incredibly hard — but without a clear financial strategy, growth can feel uncertain.
I’m Anne Gannon, a licensed CPA with 20+ of experience helping business owners and entrepreneurs with tax and accounting matters, with the goal of an efficient approach that is SOLUTIONS focused.
In 2015, I founded , an accounting and advisory firm created to deliver a better financial experience for business owners in the hospitality space. Through this work, I partnered closely with restaurant owners to move beyond traditional bookkeeping and tax preparation, focusing instead on education, financial analysis, and long-term strategy.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I became a leading industry expert on government relief programs including , , and , working weekly with over 400+ to stabilize operations, navigate uncertainty, and build sustainable recovery strategies.
Building on this experience, I later launched to focus exclusively on proactive financial guidance. Through monthly financial strategy meetings, tax forecasting and planning, operational budgeting, cash flow alignment, and owner compensation planning, I help business owners stop reacting to their numbers and start using financial data as a roadmap for smarter decisions and sustainable growth.
My passion is simple: Educating business owners so they can build resilient, profitable businesses — and the future they envisioned when they started.
