Hi, I’m Mike Perna
I like accounting, taxes, and financial planning. I realize most other people don't, so I started Flying Point Advisors to help clients focus on their lives instead of worrying about finances. I get to work on what I love, while my clients spend more time doing what's important to them.
Before starting Flying Point Advisors, I spent eight years running accounting and finance for a venture-backed software startup and nearly a decade at Merrill Lynch in Boston managing investment portfolios.
Some facts about me:
- Licensed CPA in the state of Maine 
- CFA® charterholder 
- BSBA from Boston University Questrom School of Business 
- Over 15 years of experience managing finances, building businesses, advising clients, and helping entrepreneurs. 
- Treasurer at Teens to Trails. 
- Volunteer business mentor at the Maine Center for Entrepreneurs. 
- I live on Flying Point in Freeport, Maine with my wife, three children, two dogs, and a barn cat 
- When I’m not working with clients, I chase small children. Occasionally, I find time to sail, dig clams, or run
