It all begins with an idea.

🌱 Why ThriveCounts

From Survival to Stability—And Now, Growth.

ThriveCounts was born from a simple but powerful belief:
Every business owner deserves to thrive—not just survive.

After years of helping others navigate the chaos of bookkeeping, tax deadlines, and payroll systems, our founder knew there had to be a better way to support small businesses—especially those who felt overwhelmed, under-supported, and stuck in reactive mode.

So ThriveCounts was created to change that—to offer clarity, calm, and control through systems that work, people who care, and a team that truly understands what it means to build something from the ground up.

🔍 Our Vision

To empower business owners to confidently manage their financial future—
with tools, systems, and support that feel like a true partnership.

We’re on a mission to:

  • Replace stress with structure

  • Equip entrepreneurs with knowledge and insights, not just numbers

  • Deliver services that support long-term growth, not just short-term survival

  • Help you create space to focus on what you do best—and what matters most

We believe that when your finances are in order, your life gets easier—and your business finally has room to grow.

✉️ A Note From the Founder

Hi, I’m Stormy—and ThriveCounts is more than a business for me. It’s the result of a personal journey through seasons of uncertainty, grit, and growth.

There was a time not long ago when I was doing all the things: managing clients, raising a family, working late into the night just to keep up. I wasn’t thriving—I was treading water. And I realized something had to change—not just for me, but for the business owners I serve.

I wanted to create something different. A company rooted in clarity and compassion, where small business owners feel seen, heard, and supported. A place where systems and strategy meet humanity.

ThriveCounts was built to guide you out of survival mode—into something stronger, more stable, and more sustainable.

And if that’s where you are today? I see you. I’ve been there. And we’re here to help you take your next step forward.

Let’s build something that thrives—together.
