Andrew Parks
Managing small business finances shouldn't be stressful (or done alone!) I help solo entrepreneurs, small teams and non-profits align their cash plan with the organization's purpose. I'll bring my experience in business, NFPs, and accounting, and together, we'll build financial clarity and confidence for your org.
My Background
My passion for personal finance began in high school when I'd listen to Dave Ramsey before podcasts were a thing. This interest led me to work doing finance and ops for small and mid-sized non-profit organizations as well as a business startup. I then spent 5 years as an accountant doing bookkeeping, payroll, and financial strategy for clients before launching my advisory business.
I've seen the inside of struggling orgs and I now empower owners and non-profit leaders using YNAB and Profit First, instead of the stress of 'just hoping it works'. Proactive planning brings the peace owners long for.
Why Work with Me
My unique perspective blends hands-on business experience with in-depth accounting expertise. I've been in the trenches, understanding the daily struggles of small businesses and nonprofits from the inside. This allows me to provide practical, real-world solutions, not just theoretical advice. You can start where you are and tackle one thing at a time, but we'll work together to build a plan for your money that aligns with your organization's purpose. I love small business and the mission of non-profit work and get excited to be able to help owners and leaders leave reactive stress and instead pursue sustainable growth.
Why I Coach
This is personal for me. YNAB has impacted my own finances so dramatically and I love to provide hope to others, especially in business and ministry. On top of my experiences with clients, I run several businesses myself, so I know the burden that cash flow can have on people. To be able to lead others towards sustainability and peace in order to make a greater impact in the world is so exciting.
