01 · The origin

Corporate finance was where I learned the standard. Owner-led businesses are where I found the point.

Mindy spent the first arc of her career inside a Fortune 100 finance organization — audit trails, controls, close cadences, and the kind of reporting hygiene that public companies get held to. It's the standard behind everything Swank CPA delivers, applied at a scale a family-owned business can actually use.

02 · What clients get

A CPA who does the work, not just signs off on it.

Boutique means Mindy is in the file. There isn't a bench of interchangeable staff between you and the person interpreting your numbers. Systems, reconciliations, reporting, and the advisory conversation are all one continuous piece of thinking.

03 · The CFE perspective

Certified Fraud Examiner discipline built into ordinary bookkeeping.

Most bookkeeping engagements don't consider internal control. Mindy's CFE credential means your books are structured to be defensible — segregation of duties where possible, review cadences, and anomaly patterns caught before they become a problem.

04 · Systems fluency

Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor — the systems layer is not an afterthought.

Clean books are downstream of a clean chart of accounts, connected feeds, thoughtful classes, and a payroll integration that isn't fighting your GL. Mindy sets these up so the monthly close is short, boring, and reliable — the way it should be.

05 · Licensing

Licensed CPA in Washington, Oregon, and Illinois.

Multi-state licensing is a small detail with large practical implications — from state tax planning to entity structure to serving businesses that operate across the Columbia. License numbers are published on the client engagement letter and available on request.

06 · The working style

Casual, approachable, jargon-free. Fully digital.

Mindy runs a paperless firm. Documents move through encrypted portals, meetings happen on video, and the tone is direct and human. You'll never hear "per our records" from Mindy — you'll hear what the numbers say and what she thinks you should do about them.

About the mascot

Curious. Persistent. Very good with detail.

The raccoon in our mark isn't a gimmick. It's the temperament the work takes — poking into the corners of a general ledger until everything reconciles, and refusing to leave a question half-answered.

Regional character from the Pacific Northwest
Where we are

Camas, Washington. Working with owners across the country.

The Columbia River is out our window. The firm is fully digital, which means the map of clients is much bigger than the map of the drive — and always has been.
