ABOUT LIGHTHOUSE ACCOUNTING

Our mission is in our name—we’re here to guide you on your journey, lighting the way through calm and storm.

 

But before we steer your business in the right direction, we need to know your destination. Your purpose. And your long-term vision. That’s why we take the time to understand your business inside and out—your team, industry, workflow, strengths and more. It’s how we ensure our guidance is personalized to your unique values and priorities.

 

We also have some values of our own that we take seriously. Honesty and integrity lay the groundwork for how we do business, shaping everything from our daily interactions to ethical choices surrounding your operations. We approach tough conversations candidly and big decisions carefully. We’re team players—your existing partners become our partners and collaborators. And most importantly, we build lasting professional relationships grounded in trust and respect.

 

At Lighthouse Accounting, success isn’t measured by our completion of a to-do list. It’s defined by your business taking meaningful strides forward, finding opportunities to operate more efficiently and set a foundation for growth. So let’s talk about how we can create value for your business—we look forward to connecting soon.

 

ABOUT KENT POWERS

Kent founded Lighthouse to support businesses of all sizes with transformative accounting solutions, backed by nearly 40 years of experience as a financial professional.

 

His early experience as a private CPA brings an attention to detail and practical knowledge of everyday operations to any business problem. Kent’s deep understanding of the fundamentals is only trumped by his strategic vision for growth—one he cultivated in high-profile leadership roles. As Controller of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and later, Controller/CFO of United Access, he saw expansions on the horizon and made vital recommendations to ensure a smooth transition. As a result, he helped both corporations mitigate financial risk while they grew store locations tenfold and revenues by upwards of 200%.

 

He has a proven track record of creating efficiencies, reengineering business processes and driving innovation—all while keeping his principled values at the forefront. He’s passionate about developing lasting relationships that foster equally meaningful outcomes.

 

Kent also has a proven track record, in quite the literal sense, with USA Track and Field. His passion for the long jump, triple jump and high jump began during his time as a collegiate athlete and hasn’t waned since. He’s an avid outdoor enthusiast, taking on formidable hikes and backpacking adventures just like he takes on any business challenge—fearlessly.
