We've moved!
Since we spend all of our time on Broadway - we thought it was time to look out over one of our favorite streets in town! And what a view of it is...

Special thanks to a couple of my clients, the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce and The Hub: Dunedin coworking space, for one of the best views in town!

When your client invites you to a game, you take the day off! Thank you to the for an awesome afternoon!

When you’re in a 4-hour meeting and you’re running late, so your dad picks your husband up at the airport, and you go to meet them, and the beer on tap is called Cheeky Blonde, after you realize this is a really long run-on sentence, you know it’s going to be a good weekend. Cheers!! Thanks, Dad!!

This morning, on , I wanted to honor two women who have worked tirelessly to bring The Hub to life. And as I was crafting the social media content about Maggie and Pamela, I thought of Kaylin who created the logo, Evelyn who curated the art, and Jessica who inspires me every day with the photos she takes of our space.

And then it dawned on me... and its amazing story was created by an entire group of ... and the best part? I don't think any of us realized it. We weren't "women" doing our jobs. We were professionals doing our jobs.

And we rocked it!

That said... I love being a woman, and I am thrilled to celebrate and share space, creativity, strategies, friendship, and so much more with these incredible women.

Happy !

Had to wear shoes today!

So grateful for the relationships I’ve built this year, the friendships I couldn’t imagine my life without, and the opportunities that have come my way… all because I joined a local business networking group… that I almost didn’t join.

Suncoast NPI, you have a big piece of my heart.

On a day like this... we work from the lanai!

My awesome client, Kristina Helferty, CPA, is so close to 1000 likes! Check out her story here and head over to her page to give it a “like!” She is always posting fun stuff, tips about taxes, inspirational quotes and so much more!

Some may say I was a precocious three-year-old, but my Dad, Rowan J. Helferty, Jr., would have said, “inspired,” because that’s exactly what he did for me.

When I was three, Dad took a huge leap of faith and bought a downtown Dunedin building for his law office, Rowan J. Helferty, Jr., Attorney At Law. The first time I walked into 315 Main Street—today, known as The Black Pearl restaurant—I knew I wanted to do the same thing: own my own business in the area. But what business would that be?

Well, it goes a little something like this:

At a very young age, I knew counting came easy to me. Dad would come home every night and pull all of his change out of his pockets and drop it on the table. If I could correctly add it up—which, because you all know I love a challenge, I always got it right—I got to put that change in my piggy bank.

Eventually, we took that well-earned money and opened my first bank account. A few months later, when my bank “short-changed” me, Dad encouraged me to write a letter to them advising I would take my business elsewhere if they didn’t correct their wrong. They did correct that wrong, and this memory of my dad is one of countless others forever stitched in my heart.

That change game with my dad went on for years until he passed away in 1980. While I was still a young child and our time together was cut short, his selfless devotion to his kids and family remains a part of us today. I’d give anything to tell him, little did he know, those moments we shared would impress upon me a lifetime of motivation, inspiration, strength and determination.

I could sit here for hours and write about how my dad inspired me to become the woman I am today. But for now…

Dad, you were right there with me when I cut the ribbon during the open house for my CPA firm, and you inspire me every day at the office when I walk by “Kristina’s Korner,” a space dedicated to you. Thank you for giving me every opportunity as a child to grow into the strong and determined woman and business owner I am today. You were, are, and will always be, my inspiration. I hope you’re making “snow angels” in the sand. I love you.

-Kristina

And then there's my mom - feisty, smart and the other reason I am the person I am today.

Almost immediately after my father passed away, my mom had to completely change careers so she could raise two kids as a single mother. She took on a straight 1099 commission position and over the next 14 years, Mom was the top sales “woman” each and every year. When I was 13, my mom’s CPA taught me how to maintain Mom’s monthly accounting; this priceless knowledge would save Mom a ton of money and was a great experience for me… especially when she got audited by the IRS and I was able to prove THEY OWED HER money! An accountant was born.

I am so thrilled to welcome The Kidney Experts, PLLC to the Skirt Media family. Taking on a new client, it's easy to get caught up in the onboarding process, learning the ins and outs of their organization, and spending a lot of time creating a plan and strategy for their needs...

And then they send you something like this, and you step back and realize just what they do each and every day... I feel so lucky to get to be a tiny part of their mission. Thank you !!
