After years in the accounting field, I hit a wall — the passion that once drew me to this field was fading, worn down by the overworked, understaffed reality so many in this industry know all too well. Then I became a mom, and everything came into focus. I wanted real work-life balance, and I wanted to fall back in love with what I've always cared about: helping people feel less stressed about their money. I kept asking myself how to give clients the care they deserve without sacrificing my life with my family — and eventually realized the only way to do it was to build it myself. That's how Olivia Clark, CPA PLLC came to be.
I hold a BS in Business Administration (Accounting) and an MS in Accounting (Taxation), both from UNC Wilmington. Over 10+ years, I've worked across public accounting and fractional controllership — tax prep and planning, cash management, budgeting, forecasting, and more — serving clients of all sizes across many industries. That range shapes how I work today: services tailored to what each client actually needs.
My mission is simple: combine real accounting expertise with a genuine heart for people, helping clients grow their businesses while destressing their everyday lives.
Outside the office, you'll most likely find me on the coast of Ocean Isle with my husband Blake and our kids, Bud and Valley.
