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
