Chris Smith is an accountant. With 27 years of experience, and 18 of those years as a corporate accountant and division controller, Chris likes to use numbers to tell a story to personalize company information to his clients. As Chris shares, “Whether we are using numbers to buy another company, or perhaps set up a company to help Americans buy property in foreign countries, the story is important. At other times we were telling the story of the operations to the stock holder and stake holders. Even today, the numbers always tell a story to the owner of a company.”
Chris understands that the owner of a small business or nonprofit wants the freedom of time and knowledge so they can be good at what they enjoy. “A landscaper did not get into business to send invoices to their customers, they enjoy making a yard look nice. We handle the financial stuff that overwhelms owners.”
Chris graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle, WA with BA in Accounting. He and his wife have been married for 19 years and they have a daughter. Being from Seattle, Chris still follows the University of Washington football team and the Seahawks. Chris jokes, “I was a Seahawk fan long before it was fashionable.” His family and his interests are the reason Chris left the corporate world. “I want to be able to be there for my family and community.”
