Welcome to a story of transformation, resilience, and success. Meet Della Kirkman, a once single mom turned visionary entrepreneur. Della's journey from waiting tables to becoming a CPA and business owner is not just inspiring—it's a roadmap for every woman contemplating the leap into entrepreneurship.

The Spark of Change

In the heart of Indiana, Della's life took a pivotal turn. A simple whisper of encouragement led her to pursue a CPA certification, setting the stage for her entrepreneurial journey. Her ambition? To buy, not start, a business. This decision led her to acquire a CPA firm, reshape it into a thriving venture, and eventually, sell it for profit.

The Leap of Faith

Della's entry into the business world was marked by bold moves and strategic partnerships. Starting without experience or capital, she proposed buying a struggling CPA practice. This audacity paid off. Partnering with Doug, another CPA, they formed Perkins and Kirkman CPAs. With no upfront cash, Della navigated through innovative deal structures and profit-sharing agreements, proving that where there's a will, there's a way.

Facing Challenges Head-On

Running the new firm wasn't without its hurdles. Della faced scepticism, operational challenges, and partnership dynamics. Yet, her determination never wavered. She overcame obstacles with grace and strategic thinking, leading the firm to newfound success and growth.

A Testament to Tenacity

Della's story culminates in her buying out her business partner, taking full control of the firm. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, smart financial decisions, and the courage to embrace change. The business not only survived but thrived, incorporating new technologies, improving customer service, and significantly increasing profitability.
