Etienne was an entrepreneur before he was old enough to earn an allowance, selling colorful rocks as paperweights on the road outside his house. The following year he switched to mowing lawns, selling products from catalogs, and canine obedience training. Before he finished college he partnered with a friend to start his first “real” business, a web/print design company. After selling his interest in that business to his partner, Etienne spent several years in corporate accounting for private middle-market companies before moving into public accounting to get closer to the action.
Today, Etienne is a Certified Public Accountant specializing in Mergers & Acquisitions at BiggsKofford, P.C. where he helps small business and middle market entrepreneurs answer the following questions: How do I sell my business, buy a business, or grow my business? He serves on several non-profit boards and committees and has advised numerous small businesses.
Etienne holds a B.S. in Computer Science, B.S. in Accounting, and Certificates in Business Information Systems and in Accounting Information Systems.
