A little more about me

let's make accounting simple for the Internet entreprenuer

 

Kevin J GiengerHi, my name is Kevin J. Gienger and I am Certified Public Accountant.  The J. stands for John and both my grandpas John Ernest Gienger and Forrest John Hales were small business owners. I have always loved business and wanted to be a business owner. Accounting is the simple part of a business for me. Starting and growing a new Internet business can be difficult. I want to teach you to simplify the getting and using of your business’ financial information so that you can make smart decisions that lead you to success.

Don’t be a statistic

Most small business owners start out excited about their dreams and scared about what they might not know. I started that way too. However, unlike many business people, working with numbers engages rather than intimidates me. For most of you accounting is confusing. The US Small Business Administration reports that half of small businesses fail in the first five years and the number one cause is financial mismanagement. The financial information you need to make good decisions is not hard to get. But you didn’t start your business to be an accountant, you started it because you have unique expertise to offer the world. Go do your work. I can teach you to quickly read your accounting information and use it make important decisions that will move your business forward to success.

Making business simpler

Let’s make things simple for you, both financial and other statistical data provide you important information you need to make informed decisions leading to financial stability in your business and your life. You should focus most of your work on providing value to your customers. I will do my best to share what I know and like: making financial numbers simpler for you.

Every week you will learn:

  • Where to start when you open your Internet busines
  • How to use cloud based software to help you run your business
  • How to leverage your businesses financial information to make good decision
  • How personal financial choices impact small business success

Leverage technology

In this mobile world with abundant software options, you need simple targeted information to make important decisions quickly. I can teach you to leverage technology to deliver the information you need when you need it. Learn the how, what, when, where and why of accounting technologies available to Internet small business. You get what you pay for. A new small business with limited financial resources must be strategic when selecting software tools. You know what you need to do to grow your business. I want to teach you how to assess different financial software options so you choose the one that helps you best leverage technology in your business.

I started working in middle school delivering newspapers. Even then, I was good at saving money. I enjoyed my first accounting and personal finance classes in high school. I passed the Certified Public Accounting exam on my first try and was licensed a few years later in 1997. After I earned my CPA license I continued to aquire tax and accounting knowledge working with small businesses. After sevearl years, I took a position as an operations controller in a large public company. I worked with the operations and customer service managment of local garbage and recycling companies in a vertical integrated model. The new corporate owners ran the business by numbers and I became adept at helping managers transition to their new world. They needed to produce, understand and apply both financial and statistical data to support their operational decisions. I was able to become a translator of sorts and I really enjoyed working with non-accounting people who were focused on employees and customers. As my life changed from a single, career focused young man to a family man with a working spouse I came back to public accounting and back to working with small business owners. I love the stories of the people behind businesses, especially new small businesses featuring people with great dreams. I want to hear your story too.
