New Hampshire runs on local businesses. We help them run stronger.
From contractors, marinas, restaurants, and real estate businesses to nonprofits and community organizations, John Libby's team provides the accounting structure, tax guidance, and financial insight needed to make stronger decisions.
Your numbers make more sense when your accountant understands the business behind them.
A contractor managing crews and projects does not have the same accounting needs as a marina with seasonal revenue.
A restaurant faces different payroll, inventory, and cash-flow pressures than a nonprofit or homeowners association.
A real estate business requires different reporting and tax planning than a church, retail store, or landscaping company. Stronger financial guidance begins with understanding how the organization actually operates.

An accountant, auditor, and advisor — not simply a tax preparer.
John is a Certified Public Accountant, a Certified Internal Auditor, and holds a certification in Risk Management Assurance. He earned a master's degree in Accounting and Finance from Southern New Hampshire University and has more than a decade of experience serving entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and private and public corporations.
His work spans tax and accounting, audit support, internal controls, business consulting, business valuation, financial analysis, and risk awareness — the kind of perspective a business owner benefits from long before a return is due.
