Working with Gentry and Kim was like working with friends I’ve known forever! They are professional and attentive! Their communication was timely, and I found it very easy to contact and connect with them. My report for end of year taxes was completed and packaged nicely for My tax preparer! I look forward to using them monthly to keep track of my new business launch so that I can focus on my gifts. They have given me so much peace of mind! More...

Darryl Ward
We are so incredibly blessed to have partnered with Gentry, Kimberly, and the team at 8:28 Management! My wife and I are relatively new entrepreneurs -- after decades of corporate work we decided to open a small restaurant nearly a year ago.
As you might imagine, things have been hectic, and there's so much to learn! Thankfully, Gentry and Kimberly have a wealth of expertise and they readily share their insights to help us grow. Certainly, they do a great job with our bookkeeping services – but what really sets 8:28 Management apart is their willingness to PARTNER with us – helping us think through challenges and identify solutions. They are as focused on growing our future as they are on reconciling our past financial records – and that means the world to my wife and me. Gentry, Kimberly, and her team are positive-minded problem-solvers, and I know any entrepreneur would find tremendous value in partnering with them.
One more thing – although Gentry and Kimberly know A LOT of things, they don’t know everything – and they have enough humility to admit it! However, they are both keen on figuring things out quickly and finding resources when they are needed; I absolutely love that about them! If they don’t have an answer on the spot, they’ll research accordingly and get you one!
We absolutely love working with this team!

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
Running a business involves more than just providing great products or services. Behind every successful business is a solid financial foundation, and that’s where a skilled accountant comes in. A great accountant does more than crunch numbers—they become a strategic partner in your business’s growth and success.
Here are some key reasons why hiring an exceptional accountant is vital for businesses:
1. Accurate Financial Management
A great accountant ensures your financial records are accurate, up-to-date, and compliant with regulations. This accuracy is essential for tracking your performance, preparing for taxes, and making sound business decisions.
2. Tax Compliance & Savings
Tax laws are complex and ever-changing. A professional accountant stays on top of these changes, helping you navigate the process, avoid penalties, and take advantage of all possible deductions and credits to minimize your tax burden.
3. Strategic Financial Planning
Beyond day-to-day bookkeeping, a skilled accountant helps you plan for the future. From budgeting and forecasting to cash flow management, they provide insights that empower you to make informed, strategic decisions.
4. Time & Stress Savings
Handling financial tasks on your own can be time-consuming and stressful. By hiring a great accountant, you free up valuable time to focus on growing your business while trusting that your finances are in expert hands.
5. Improved Business Decisions
With accurate financial data and expert analysis, you can make confident decisions about pricing, investments, scaling, and other critical business areas. An accountant can also provide advice on cutting costs and improving profitability.
6. Preparedness for Growth
If your business is growing or planning to scale, a great accountant can help you navigate that growth. They can advise on cash flow, funding options, and ensure your financial systems are scalable and sustainable.
7. Audit & Legal Protection
In the event of an audit or financial scrutiny, having a professional accountant ensures you are well-prepared. They maintain organized records and ensure compliance with financial regulations, reducing risks and protecting your business.
8. Peace of Mind
Ultimately, a great accountant gives you peace of mind. You can rest assured knowing your finances are being handled by a professional who is committed to your business’s success.
Conclusion:
Hiring a great accountant is not just an expense—it’s an investment in your business’s future. They bring expertise, accuracy, and strategic insights that can make a world of difference in your ability to grow and succeed. With a trusted accountant by your side, you can focus on what you do best, knowing your financial health is in capable hands.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my work at 8:28 Management is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on both businesses and the people behind them. This isn’t just about bookkeeping or strategic planning—it’s about walking alongside our clients on their journey, helping them discover their God-given potential, and empowering them to achieve their goals with purpose and integrity.
I truly cherish the relationships I get to build with our clients. Being a trusted partner in their challenges and victories is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. There’s nothing quite like seeing a business owner’s confidence grow as we help them gain clarity, tackle obstacles, and achieve their dreams.
For me, it’s about so much more than numbers. I love creating tailored solutions that help businesses thrive, whether it’s cleaning up financial records, coaching someone through a tough decision, or providing the tools they need to scale. Watching them realize they’re capable of more than they ever thought possible is incredibly fulfilling.
Our work at 8:28 Management is deeply rooted in faith, and I’m so grateful to have a career that aligns with my values. Living out Romans 8:28 and sharing hope, joy, and purpose through what we do brings me so much joy. It’s a blessing to not only help businesses succeed but also inspire others to find the same hope and fulfillment that I’ve experienced in my own journey.
At the end of the day, what I love most is knowing that we’re making a difference. We’re not just running a business—we’re helping others turn their goals into reality while staying aligned with their purpose. That’s what truly lights me up every day.
What inspired you to start your own business?
From a young age, I have always had the dream and vision of helping people. That desire was planted in my heart early on, but it wasn’t until the last few years that I truly realized my God-given purpose: to help others discover and build their own purposes. This revelation changed everything for me and became the foundation for starting 8:28 Management.
I love being able to take business principles and strategic thinking and align them into actionable plans that bring wealth, success, peace, and fulfillment not just to business owners, but to their employees as well. Knowing that the work we do has the power to positively impact lives in such meaningful ways is what drives me every day.
This journey has been a blessing in more ways than one. Owning my own business has given me the flexibility to continue growing my mind, deepening my skills, and spending time with my family. It allows me to live out my purpose while being fully present for the people I love most.
Ultimately, this business is not just a job—it’s a mission, a calling, and a way to serve others in alignment with the values I hold closest to my heart. I feel incredibly grateful to be on this path and to have the opportunity to walk alongside others as they find their own purpose and success.
