Amy Northard

When it’s time to think about the number side of your business, you get a pit in your stomach and avoid it as long as possible. You’re constantly in fear that the IRS is going to come knocking on your door and you just feel so overwhelmed with taxes and bookkeeping that you aren’t sure where to start.  That’s where Amy comes in…

Amy is the The Accountants for Creatives®. She helps creatives like you all over the US navigate taxes and set up bookkeeping systems so they can get back to the part of the business they love – the creative part.

She is not your typical accountant. Amy spent some time working at a traditional CPA firm and realized it was not for her. She wanted to work with clients (and teammates) who inspired me on a daily basis and made me feel excited for Mondays. That’s where this business grew from.

Now Amy gets to teach creative business owners all about the tax and accounting side of the business so they don’t feel like it’s some big unknown stressful thing hanging over them all the time.  She enjoys teaching small business basics through her online course Be Your Own CFO.

When Amy is not helping clients with taxes and bookkeeping, you can find her taste-testing craft beers, on a run with her Goldendoodle pup Lilly or planning her dream log cabin with my husband.

Angela Mondloch

Angela Mondloch is the owner, designer, and artist behind Saffron Avenue, a creative studio dedicated to designing heartfelt brands, custom websites, modern calligraphy, and stylish templates that are inspiring and intentional. With a mission to stay curious, to be creative, and to inspire others through honesty and art.

If you ask her what her passion is, she’ll tell you it’s art, creating from the heart, or simply making beautiful and inspiring things. BUT, if you ask her what her hobbies are she’ll tell you it’s reading post-apocalyptic novels, dominating cornhole (yep, 3x champ), or binge watching sci-fi movies (even during the holiday season).

She’s a sucker for small, thoughtfully created design and details, obsessed with teaching herself new things, and always chooses to create from scratch than buy something. She loves what she does and simply wants to share her art with the world.
