Chris Conway, CPA
Founder & President
Hi, I’m Chris Conway. My passion is helping people grow—both in business and in life. I work with entrepreneurs who want more than just financial results—they want purpose, confidence, and meaningful success.
I began my career in Northern Virginia, where I grew up, attended college, and started in public accounting doing audit, payroll, tax, and general accounting. From there, I spent two years writing tax software before moving into consulting, where I specialized in accounting and CRM system implementations, process design, and change management. Over the course of 25+ years, I’ve worked with clients ranging from solopreneurs to Fortune 500s, including time owning my own consulting firm and leading engagements for a Big 4 accounting firm.
In 2010, my wife Deb, our four-legged sidekick Tuscany, and I moved to Breckenridge, Colorado to pursue our dream of living and working in the Rocky Mountains. That season sparked my entrepreneurial journey—from property management and franchise ownership to decorative concrete and business coaching. Every venture deepened my understanding of what it takes to build something meaningful.
In 2022, we hit the road full-time in our RV, embracing flexibility and adventure while continuing to serve clients nationwide. We currently winter in Destin, Florida and travel the U.S. in the summer.
Today, I combine decades of financial expertise, business ownership, and leadership development into a coaching/advisor-first approach. I’m a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Tax Coach and a John Maxwell Certified Coach, Teacher, and Speaker. I’ve learned that the most powerful transformation comes when you grow the person behind the business.
As my mentor Darren Hardy says, “Consistency is the key to success.” I’m committed to helping others find clarity, stay consistent, and lead with purpose. I’m also a lifelong learner—because I believe when we stop learning, we stop growing.
