About Account4Yourself

What Is It?

How to Get Started?

What Is It?

Account4Yourself is a business designed for social good.  We provide financial counseling (both individual and small business), educational counseling and design (all levels), and auxiliary services (training, teaching / instructing, speaking, business referrals, etc.) to those in need.  It isn't about what mutual funds or stocks to invest in, but rather tools you can use to be smart with your money, as well as with the educational future of your loved ones and yourself.

Who Am I?

How to Get Started?

What Is It?

My name is Mike Shipman.  I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Doctor of Education (D. Ed.) who works both in public accounting and higher education.  Passions I bring to tax return clients, students, and the public are financial literacy, tax simplification, entrepreneurial ambition, and finding the best value in K-12 and higher education.  As a result, I am also interested in legal policy in these areas.

Right below this you'll see "Offerings" for better descriptions of the services we offer, both financially and educationally.  The "Open for Business in 2024!" blog post also provides some background.


If we can be of service (or if you just have a question(s)), reach out using the "Tell Me More" links below or, if you have trouble with those links, the chat bubble in the bottom-right portion of the screen (all outreach comes directly to me).  If you like this page, but aren't looking for services at this time, be sure to hit "subscribe" at the bottom!  

Offerings

Financial Services and Counseling

As needed, I provide small business financial services (bookkeeping, cash flow management, cost management, etc.).  I recommend Relay Financial to my clients for banking and cash management:  https://app.relayfi.com/register?referralcode=ab-account4yourself     


On the counseling front, I offer five levels of service from "Review and Advise" to full-fledged "Advising and Coaching."  


Consultations are free, and these services can range from one-time help to consistent meetings / advice.  If you would like more information on how to improve your current financial position or situation, please click here to contact me:

Educational Counseling

The same levels of service as Financial apply, but I review your or your child's educational situation to make sure you are positioning yourself and/or your family for future employment opportunities that you desire.  Again, consultations are free and the frequency of my assistance is up to you!  To ask for more information, click here:

Additional Services: Education

I have experience speaking, writing, and designing educational leadership, management, and policy curricula.  Whether you need a curriculum consultant, a speaker, research, training / instruction, or something else, I can provide the service you need or, if necessary, leverage my network to find you the specialist in question (referral).  Click here to inquire further:
