Investing in your financial clarity is investing in your business.

"If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there."
– Lewis Carroll

 

Rachel Hallien, Owner

  • I launched The Accounting Initiative with Ecclesiastes 4:12 in mind: “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

    While this refers to God and the church, husband and wife, it also applies to owning a business.

    It’s my passion to use my gifts to help business owners steward their hard efforts.

    Faith in God, clients, and myself as your accountant create the three strands — and all stand stronger in the end.

  • The Accounting Initiative is built upon open communication, full transparency, professionalism, confidentiality and my heart for people.

    As your accountant, I want you to feel and know that I care about your bottom line. Your hard work deserves payoff and I’m here to help clarify the numbers, answer questions and be a supportive guide to aid in ownership decisions for future growth.

  • My experience and expertise will help you get your company books organized, streamlined and provide the financial clarity for you to make sound and confident decisions, aiding in company growth.

    I have:

    — 16+ years accounting experience
    — 12 years as a CPA
    — 8 years as CFO

Some of my favorite things…

  • Adventure, the outdoors, bonfires and camping

  • All the shoes!

  • A good sweat fest (and music at max volume)

  • Date nights with my Hubby

  • Crafting with the Weebles

With Rachel, you’ll receive:

 

Time Freedom

You’ll receive time back to invest in other areas of your business. With my 16+ years of experience, you’ll receive assistance with back office necessities without the burden of hiring and managing a full accounting staff.

Confidence

Trusting someone with your finances can be intimidating. With accurate information and financial reports, you can have certainty and assurance, and have space for data-driven decisions that grow your business.

 

Financial Clarity

Businesses are a reflection of who people are, what they stand for, the mark they want to make on the world and the legacy to be left behind. A hidden, key component to success is proactive and hands-on financial clarity.

“Rachel has a laser eye for accounting. She is able to take complex issues, simplify them, and make them translate to financial statements in a way that her clients can easily digest. She is a quick study with impeccable response time, and is extremely accountable — no pun intended. Rachel has been incredibly valuable to our operations.”
