Hi, I’m Mike Perna
I like accounting, taxes, and financial planning. I realize most other people don’t like those things as much as I do, so I started Flying Point Advisors. I help my clients focus on their lives instead of worrying about finances. I spend time working on what I love, while my clients spend more time doing what is important to them.
Before starting Flying Point Advisors, I spent eight years running the accounting and finance departments for a venture back software startup. I spent also almost a decade working at Merrill Lynch in Boston managing investment portfolios for clients.
Some facts about me:
Licensed CPA in the state of Maine
CFA® charterholder
BSBA from Boston University Questrom School of Business
Over 15 years 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.
