Audrey Blackburn is the Founder of Blackburn Consulting, Accounting & Tax, a firm she launched in 2015 with a passion for helping small businesses and nonprofits gain clarity and confidence in their finances.

With more than 30 years of accounting experience, Audrey brings both expertise and real-world understanding to the table. She specializes in working with small to mid-sized businesses and nonprofit organizations, helping leaders move from financial chaos and uncertainty to sustainable growth and stronger decision-making. Her approach is practical, honest, and education-focused because she believes clients should truly understand the story their numbers are telling.

Audrey holds a Bachelor of Business degree from the University of Phoenix and a Master of Accountancy from Gardner-Webb University. Over the years, she has served in leadership roles within both small businesses and nonprofits, giving her firsthand insight into the challenges business owners and nonprofit leaders face every day.

Clients value Audrey’s honest, straightforward approach and her ability to break down complicated financial concepts into clear, practical guidance they can confidently act on. She is passionate about helping women-owned businesses and women-led nonprofits build stronger financial foundations and move from a place of scarcity to sustainability and growth.

When she’s not working with clients, Audrey enjoys spending time with her husband Will, family, and soaking up the North Carolina sunshine outdoors. You’ll often find her working in her yard, reading on her deck, and spending time with their pets Luna, Tigger, and Sugar.
