What I do

Services Built for Modern Businesses

From keeping your books clean to building AI workflows that give your business a real edge — I handle the financial heavy lifting so you can focus on growth.

🧾

Tax Preparation & Strategy

Individual, self-employed, and small business returns — plus year-round tax strategy so your business is always positioned well, not just at filing time. Your money stays working for you and reinvested back into your business.

📊

Bookkeeping & Accounting

Stop spending your evenings on receipts and reconciliations. I handle your monthly books, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting — so you have peace of mind knowing your records are accurate and always up to date.

🏢

Business Advisory & Planning

Accounting shouldn't just tell you where you've been — it should show you where you're going. I provide forward-looking financial planning, cash flow projections, and strategic guidance to help you make confident decisions about your business's future.

🤖

AI Setup & Workflow Building

AI is evolving fast — I help business owners cut through the noise and actually put it to work. I assess your current tools, build custom AI workflows tailored to your operations, and make sure you're running as lean and efficient as possible.

Your Numbers Deserve a Real Expert

I'm Scott Phagan, a licensed CPA born and raised in Asheboro, NC. I'm married with two daughters, and that sense of family and community is at the heart of how I approach my work with clients. I earned both my Bachelor's (2015) and Master's (2021) in Accounting from UNC Greensboro, and completed my CPA licensure in 2025.

My professional background is in property management, but I launched this practice to work across a broader range of industries — retail, food service, manufacturing, service businesses, and beyond. I genuinely enjoy getting into the weeds of a new business, learning how it operates, and building a financial foundation that helps it grow. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take an established business to the next level, that's exactly the kind of work I find most rewarding.

I also believe accounting is evolving. Our work shouldn't just review the past — it should inform the future. Paired with a genuine passion for AI and technology, I help clients build efficient, forward-looking operations that are ready for where things are headed.

Forward-Looking

I don't just tell you what happened — I help you plan for what's next. Projections and strategy, not just historical reports.
