A Conversation with
Open Horizons Founder,
Ashley Hutchens
Open Horizons is the breath of fresh air in my professional life. After over a decade of working in the corporate financial world, I felt the urge to shift my focus to helping small-business owners reach their dreams by offering to relieve their everyday bookkeeping headaches, and by giving them confidence in their business holdings.
I truly love what I do! I love numbers and I love helping people understand those numbers! I am lucky to have found my passion early in life, and over my professional career have fine-tuned my skills and continue striving to learn more.
On a personal level, I am an avid lover of the outdoors and traveling! I love to hike and love to visit new destinations by foot, taking it all in one step at a time. I need mountain tops and crashing beach waves, alike. I am precise and focused in my work life and a wanderlust in my personal life.
We all have a free spirit component to our lives, and I cannot wait to hear what brings YOU joy!
Relationships
Open Horizons is 50% numbers, 50% relationship. Our biggest focus is making the financial spectrum of your business easy to manage, comprehensive, and results-driven. The other side of that is the you side of things. We see our clients as what they are: Real people who want real results. We love getting to work with both numbers and the people who drive them.
Experience
With over 20 years in the financial industry, we have experience and learned a lot along the way. We find joy in working with small businesses and love the challenge of managing financials of large corporations. There is no business too small or too large to need a professional, skilled bookkeeper that they can count on.
Accountability
We believe that a company's success is dependent on the accountability of its leader. Open Horizons was started with the intention of bringing clarity and skill to bookkeeping, and that intention hasn't changed since day one. We hold ourselves accountable for every project we work on, and every company we work with.
Our Mission
To bridge the gap between corporate
bookkeeping & relatability
Often when hiring an accounting firm, you're forced with a choice: Hire a stale, large corporation to manage your books and expect to often seek out the "Help Center" on their site, or work with a hometown company that may or may not bring the big-business knowledgebase to your financials. We are here to bring both. If you hire Open Horizons, expect to work with us on a first-name basis, but to see results expected of a large enterprise.
