Mission Statement

To empower entrepreneurs with the art of bookkeeping.

Meet Founder and CEO

Cindy Quick Dowell

Most business owners would not consider bookkeeping an art, but I do.  Like art, bookkeeping is a creative skill.  When done correctly and with care, it becomes a medium for communicating and understanding ideas, much the same way that art inspires and educates us. Great art excites our emotions; a great bookkeeper keeps you calm. 

Through my years of helping creative people grow their businesses, I have found that entrepreneurs dread, and even fear, bookkeeping. They typically consider it a time-consuming, tedious chore at best, or they have a shoebox full of receipts with no plan at all.  No matter where you are on your financial journey, rest assured that Abacus Advisors LLC has your back!

Art and business have been recurring themes throughout my life. My dad was a successful solopreneur, and my mom was a gifted tailor, costume designer, and later, a bookkeeper, herself.  My own love of numbers was born in the first grade when I came face to face with a big, colorful abacus that stood in the front of the room. Nothing made me happier than when Sister Henry picked me to demonstrate the day’s math problem. For an impressionable six-year-old, math became synonymous with FUN…and still is.
