Hey, I'm Stu — a CPA based in Boise, Idaho, and probably not what you picture when you think "accountant."

I've spent 13 years working in sustainability and finance — in-house at Fortune 500 companies, as an auditor, and even starting my own firm, which got acquired within 11 months. (Yes, the acquisition came with a tax bill that made me wince. Nothing teaches taxes like writing a big check to the IRS.)

That winding road gave me something pretty rare in a CPA: I've actually lived the financial decisions I help you navigate. The wins, the surprises, and the "wait, I owe how much?" moments.

Now I work with individuals and families here in Idaho who want to feel in control of their finances — not just at tax time, but all year long.

No jargon. No judgment. Just a real conversation about where you are and where you want to go.

If that sounds like what you've been looking for, I'd love to connect.
