WaterAid

We create Clothes That Count in more ways than one.

As financial professionals, we understand how small, consistent actions can create significant impact over time. That's why we're building giving back into the very fabric of our business through our partnership with WaterAid, supporting their vital work in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects around the world.

When you order from us, you're not just investing in clothing that speaks to your expertise, you're joining us at the beginning of an important journey. Each purchase contributes to WaterAid's mission.

Our vision is simple: to create professional clothing that makes a difference. While our partnership with WaterAid is just beginning, we're excited to grow our impact together with our community of financial professionals who understand that true prosperity isn't just about what we earn—it's about what we can give back.

 

Our Mission

We aim to:

  • Celebrate the double-entry bookkeeping profession
  • Offer high-quality, comfortable products that you'll love wearing both in and out of the office
  • Help fund WaterAid projects around the world

Now From Idaho

I’ve made my home in the Magic Valley of Southern Idaho after spending the first 30 years of my life in Utah and another 20 years living and working in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. I have fallen in love with the Snake River Canyon in Southern Idaho, kayaking the river that made it, and exploring its trails.
