My name is Melissa Bright and not only am I a Certified Public Accountant, I am the founder of Melissa Bright, CPA, PLLC. After spending eight years working for various local public accounting firms, I saw a need for a more individualized service, in particular, entrepreneurs. I'm a big proponent of small businesses. I love to be able to assist business owners with their questions and concerns. I love to problem solve and take shoeboxes (figurative and literal) and help produce viable and understandable information that the owner can use. I love being there at the beginning, watching them grow and learn, answering their questions and being part of their journey. I always want my clients to know that if they have a question or a concern, they can always ask me - no question is unimportant. Being a CPA is more than being a bean counter, it's about education, support and planning. As I tell my clients, my friends and my family, “Taxes aren’t scary. The unknown is scary.” So let’s be brave. Let’s be bright. Let’s grow together.
