Austin founded Simple Books Boston to give business owners something they rarely find at traditional accounting firms: a reliable financial partner who is accessible, responsive, and invested in their success.

He began his career in public accounting at a top-10 national accounting firm, where he built a strong technical foundation in financial reporting, bookkeeping, and tax compliance. He is also actively pursuing his CPA licensure to continue expanding his expertise and provide clients with the highest level of professional service.

While his public accounting experience shaped his technical knowledge, Austin's greatest perspective comes from being an entrepreneur himself. As the owner of multiple small businesses, he understands the realities business owners face every day—from managing cash flow and staying on top of bookkeeping to making important financial decisions while balancing countless other responsibilities.

That firsthand experience influences the way he works with every client. Rather than simply recording transactions, Austin believes bookkeeping should provide clarity, confidence, and actionable financial insight that helps businesses grow.

His approach is built on three principles: clear communication, honest guidance, and responsive support. Whether you're launching a new business, catching up on overdue books, or preparing for your next stage of growth, his goal is to provide the financial foundation you need to make informed decisions with confidence.
