I want to help small business owners and operators develop financially healthy businesses, so they stay in business longer. I want to help them survive, so they can eventually thrive. Everything we do at Tight has that end goal in mind. Business owners and operators generally focus so much energy on growing revenue that they often overlook the importance of keenly keeping an eye on their expenses, profitability and taxes. Tight’s embedded accounting products make this seamless and enable small businesses to focus on profitable growth. I’m a long-term thinker, focused on what is down the road, not just the present. I’m passionate about entrepreneurship and small businesses — these are the folks that create the majority of jobs in our communities. Every business owner should have access to simple tools and the financial education they need to succeed. Via our white-labeled embedded accounting features inside our small business-focused partner platforms – including fintechs, banks, and vertical SaaS providers — we’ve helped businesses of all types (and entity types). From those just incorporating their business to those with tens of employees on payroll, from creators to coffee shops, HVAC services to churches, and rental properties to legal practices, the goal is to help all small businesses thrive financially. I’m proud that in my various business endeavors, people choose to come along for the journey. People who worked with us at VisualHOMES now work with us here at Tight. There’s great value in that continuity, both for the business and on a personal level. I was brought up to be a good host, and I hope that is reflected in how I run my business — for our employees, our partners, and our customers. In accounting, trust, reliability, and expertise matter. To date our products have served over 1.2 million small businesses. And, we're just getting started.
