Hi, I'm Abby.
I'm a CPA who left the grind of public accounting to build a firm I love. Now, I help other CPAs take the next step toward building practices that give them freedom, fulfillment, and a life beyond the busy season.
Let me help you take the next step toward a practice that fits your life - not the other way around.
The Story
After nearly a decade in public accounting, I found myself exactly where I thought I wanted to be - except I couldn't shake the feeling that there had to be a better way. The long hours, constant pressure, and outdated processes left me exhausted and questioning whether I could continue doing the work I loved without sacrificing my health and personal life.
In 2022, I took a leap and started my own firm. I didn't have a step-by-step guide, but I had a vision: a practice built on efficiency, sustainability, and freedom. Over the next two years, I navigated the challenges of setting up a business, refining processes, and finding ways to work smarter - not harder. Along the way, I realized I wasn't alone.
That's why I started Forward CPA. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to go from employee to entrepreneur - and how freeing it is when you get it right. My goal is to give CPAs the tools, resources, and support they need to build firms that fit their life, not consume it.
Whether you're just thinking about starting your own practice or looking to streamline an established firm, you're in the right place. Let's take the next step forward - together.
