Our founder, Aaron Parks, had a 30 year career as a Risk Manager and Audit expert. After teaching IT Audit & Compliance, developing risk dashboards for a Big Ten university and a bank, he took a 10 year hiatus to fight cancer and other health issues. In 2025 he reentered the professional world and created ParksPacific Bookkeeping, a boutique firm specializing in the use of custom visuals to bring financial understanding to strategic decision makers.

In 2026, Aaron created ParksPacific Financial to address the increasing need for Fractional CFO services, financial advisory services, and AI Services and Governance Support. Throughout 2026 ParksPacific Bookkeeping will be gradually transitioned to ParksPacific Financial.
