What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

My current challenges are social media, online advertising, a good workable website, and web marketing.

Actions I’ve taken so far

I have created a website with GoDaddy, but am open to criticism. I am also involved in the launch and grow program with Business Impact NW. I am also working on certification with QuickBooks online so I can be listed on their sites as well.

My future goals

I want to grow my business so I can earn a good living like I am accustomed to. I also want to be known as the accounting company that takes care of and is respected by my clients. I would like to grow to where I can hire employees and when I want to retire, I can sell to one or more of my employees and earn a residual income.

My motivations to work with a mentor

I want to build my business as quickly as possible. I know there is a high demand for my services and the way I conduct business. I want to have that professional online appearance. I want to be able to drink in all the knowledge possible and plan on returning it when I can.


About my venture

Powers Accounting, LLC Started 2021

I have been in Finance and Accounting for the last 45+ years. In January 2021, I was laid off from my corporate job due to COVID19. After much deliberation, I decided to help out small businesses with bookkeeping, accounting, and taxes. I'm not a CPA but I am CPA trained. I also prepare corporate and personal tax returns. I am registered to practice in front of the IRS. I had this type of business back in the 1990s with my late wife but sold it to move back east to take care of my mom after my dad passed. I signed a 5 year-non compete so I got into the corporate world. I am also a disabled veteran
