Tanya Akimenko — Golden Apple Agency Inc.
Tanya Akimenko is the founder of Golden Apple Agency Inc., a multi-entity accounting and tax firm built for entrepreneurs at every stage of growth. With more than 20 years of hands-on experience, Tanya helps business owners translate financial complexity into clear, actionable strategies that protect profit and peace of mind.
Tanya’s journey matters because it reflects what many founders face: starting out of necessity, scaling through adversity, and ultimately building systems that don’t depend on a single person. From launching her practice in rural Alaska to expanding across Florida and South Carolina, she has designed her business to be resilient, structured, and owner-independent.
Key Takeaways from the Episode:
Build beyond yourself. After a serious bout with COVID, Tanya restructured her firm so no client depends on one person—ensuring continuity and confidence.
Segment your services to scale smarter. She split her business into three entities to better serve different revenue levels, simplify training, and strengthen tax strategy.
Price with confidence, not fear. Underpricing leads to burnout; reverse-engineering your desired income creates sustainable, confident pricing.
Speak the client’s language. Financial clarity happens when accountants explain numbers in industry-specific terms entrepreneurs actually understand.
Turn time away into strategy time. Tanya’s “out of office on purpose” mindset reframes travel and retreats as documented, intentional business planning opportunities.
