💌 A Letter from Shantell Wilkins

Hey there,

If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re a hard-working business owner juggling everything from payroll to late-night reconciling—and still wondering why your profit doesn’t match your hustle. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

I’m Shantell Wilkins, Founder of RBA Tax & Financial Services and your go-to Tax Strategist & CFO Partner. I work with service-based business owners—like restaurant operators, pet spa owners, healthcare providers, and skilled trades—who are ready to stop winging it and start running their business with real financial strategy.

Since 2019, I’ve helped business owners like you clean up their books, get ahead of tax deadlines, and finally understand their numbers in a way that supports true growth. Whether you're behind on bookkeeping or need help building a long-term wealth plan, I meet you where you are and guide you forward.

Here’s what I believe:
📌 You shouldn’t be afraid to open your books.
📌 You deserve more than just a tax return—you deserve a tax plan.
📌 And your business should help you build wealth, not just pay bills.

Through my Fractional CFO services, I help business owners get back in control—providing clear financial reports, payroll support, tax-saving strategies, and the kind of advisory that helps you make smarter decisions with confidence. But more than anything, I’m your accountability partner. I’m the one who makes sure you’re not just working hard, but working smart.

I built this firm because I believe local businesses are the heartbeat of our communities—and you deserve support that’s built just for you. I know what it’s like to carry the weight of business, family, and future all on your back—and I’m here to help lift some of that burden with real financial solutions.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start growing, I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

Let’s build something profitable, powerful, and lasting—together.

With gratitude,
Shantell Wilkins
CFO Strategist & Founder, RBA Tax & Financial Services
