Founded by ShirWan (Lee) Little, CPA, our firm was built to bridge the gap between traditional compliance and modern financial strategy.

The Founder’s Story: ShirWan Lee Little, CPA

From Corporate Finance to Startup Growth my journey into accounting wasn't just about balancing ledgers; it was about understanding the heartbeat of a business. My foundation was built at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I completed my undergraduate education.

I further refined my leadership and strategic expertise by earning a Master’s in Business Management from the Wake Forest University School of Business. Recognizing that the future of finance is built on data, I also completed a Professional Certificate in Applied Data Science from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth. This combination of classical management and modern data science allows me to bridge the gap between human leadership and technical precision.

Before founding SL Accounting Solutions CPA, I spent years navigating the high-stakes world of Financial Operations and Risk Management for global leaders. I saw firsthand how the right financial architecture could protect a company from risk while fueling massive innovation.

I realized that while large corporations have entire departments dedicated to their financial health, many startups and small businesses are left to navigate the complexities of scale alone. I founded this firm to change that. Based in Raleigh, NC, my goal is to provide founders with the same high-level expertise and strategic leadership I brought to corporate boardrooms—but with the agility and personal touch of a boutique firm.

We don't just "do taxes." We build the financial engines that power the next great companies.
