Most accounting software is built by engineers who've never reconciled a bank statement. Most bookkeepers can't write a line of code. I've spent 20 years doing both.
I started in nonprofit accounting — running inBooks for years, directing Mesila Cleveland's financial empowerment program, and seeing firsthand how better financial tools change lives. Along the way, I helped grow Ocean Auto Glass from a single mobile operation to a multi-location business with a full team, building custom integrations that automated most of the back office.
Now I'm building the tools I wish existed: Zeno Services for real estate and construction bookkeeping, ZenoBudget for nonprofit cash flow, and Hierarchy Budget for personal finance. Every product comes from real experience solving real problems.
