Meet Joshua Leyenhorst

Hi, I’m Josh. I’m the founder of BasePoint CPA, and am an experienced accounting and finance professional. I work with businesses to keep a regular pulse on their finances, providing regular guidance to help them optimize their profit, cash flow, and sustainable growth. As a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) and Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), I enjoy helping business owners see the full picture of their business, from start-up to wind-up, and how to navigate that exciting and fulfilling journey!

I always say “The numbers tell the story”, and it’s my goal to help businesses understand the story that their numbers are telling, so they can more effectively write the next chapters of where they want their business to go and how to get there!
