about arden
Hi there — I’m Arden, numbers might be my thing, but people are truly at the heart of what I do. I started my own practice to create a space where individuals, small businesses, and nonprofits can feel comfortable asking questions, getting honest answers, and building confidence in their financial decisions.
Whether it’s helping you make sense of your financials, setting up your bookkeeping, or getting ready for tax season, I believe accounting doesn’t have to be intimidating. My goal is to take the stress out of the numbers so you can focus on what you do best — running your business, growing your organization, or simply enjoying life.
I am a 1999 graduate of Cumberland College (now University of the Cumberlands) with a degree in Business Administration concentration in Accounting and a minor in Communications. I was licensed as a CPA in 2002.
When I’m not crunching numbers, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family or enjoying the outdoors. I take pride in offering personal, one-on-one service with a genuine desire to help you succeed.
If you’re looking for a CPA who is approachable, speaks your language (and won’t make you dread the money side of life), you’ve come to the right place. I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can help you reach your financial goals.
