About Sharon Grimes:
Sharon earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Florida. Following graduation, Sharon worked as a staff accountant at a mid-sized non-profit and quickly worked her way up to Accounting Manager. Sharon spent almost 10 years with this organization before shifting to an accounting career in manufacturing where she was the financial supervisor of an international manufacturing company with facilities in 4 countries and over $100mm in annual revenues. While learning international accounting, Sharon also earned her MBA with a focus on leadership and international business. She followed that by earning her Enrolled Agent designation with the IRS.

At one point in Sharon's career, she had the opportunity to help a small business clean up their financial data. Having always worked in big corporate, Sharon never realized how small businesses struggle with understanding the proper path to entrepreneurship. And, more specifically, her eyes were opened to the way small business owners struggle with recording the financial transactions of their business. This was how Sharon decided to go off on her own, her desire is to help small business owners develop a bookkeeping system that will help these owners obtain better financing terms, put together the financial portion of their business plans, think about tax planning and strategies.
