Bio

Michelle Linton, E.A. - Owner/Principal

• Twenty-four years experience in accounting, taxation, advising, payroll services and administration for a variety of businesses and industries.
• Specialist in assisting start-up entities with all aspects necessary to start and run a business.

Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Michelle was always known as the ‘geek’ growing up; she could always be found with a book (or three) in her hand, always learning, growing and wanting to share this knowledge with others. After visiting Chicago off and on for years, she decided she loved it and just had to relocate in the Windy City; not because of the ‘wind,’ mind you, but because Chicago is shifting, changing and offering such great resources and open-minded people.

“My goal is to assist anyone, but especially women, in fulfilling their dreams of being in business for themselves. I want to surround myself with dynamic women and men, so we can assist each other in attaining our goals, whatever they may be for each individual.”
