My name is Justin Lee Hanks, and I’m a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). I work with professionals and business owners whose success has outgrown their systems.

As your financial life becomes more complex, it can become harder to see how everything fits together. I help bring your whole financial picture into focus, identify the priorities that matter now, and build a foundation you can grow on.

I can also coordinate with your financial advisor, attorney, and current tax preparer to help connect the decisions you’re making across your business and personal life.

• Advisory & fractional CFO guidance — support with priorities, cash flow, and financial structure as your business grows.

• A solid financial foundation — a clear view of where you stand, what needs attention, and what to do first.

• Tax preparation & planning — available here if you’d like your advisory and tax work handled together.

Why I Do This Work

I grew up with complexity, and I know how much energy it can take to navigate a life that feels difficult to organize. Over time, I’ve learned to make my own life simpler by creating useful systems, setting clear priorities, and leaving room for what matters to me.

That experience shapes how I work. I bring both financial expertise and an appreciation for the person making the decisions. My goal is to help you build a financial life that supports your time, your work, and your freedom to explore what comes next.

My Background & Approach

I’m a Certified Public Accountant registered in the State of Vermont and a graduate of Penn State and the Culinary Institute of America. My accounting experience includes tax work at accounting firms, auditing Vermont municipalities, and Medicaid program auditing for the State of Vermont.

These experiences have taught me to look beyond individual numbers, understand how systems fit together, and turn detailed financial information into practical next steps.

I bring that perspective to my work with professionals and business owners. I take time to understand what you’re building, what needs attention, and what you want your financial life to support. Together, we establish clear priorities and create a foundation that makes your next decisions easier.
