ABOUT US

Melissa Harman, CPA, designs the financial systems that create clarity and control. With experience spanning public accounting, global compliance, and CFO-level advisory, she brings Fortune 500 rigor to growing businesses. Having spent the first five years of her career as a tax accountant, Melissa speaks the language of tax fluently, ensuring your books are always maintained with tax season in mind and your tax preparer always has exactly what they need.

 

Scott Harman, a retiring United States Air Force Master Sergeant with over 21 years of service leading complex, multinational organizations, brings organizational strategy and operational leadership to the firm, helping businesses understand how they actually run, how their people and structure align, and how to build for scale.

 

Every Mission First client is supported by a dedicated team of accounting professionals with over a decade of experience across corporate accounting, financial analysis, and client advisory. Your work is never passed off. It is handled with intention at every level.

 

Mission First was built with the intention to give expertise-based businesses and scaling agencies access to the kind of financial partnership that was previously reserved for much larger organizations. Mission First delivers something rare: a financial partner that is equally strong on financial infrastructure and organizational strategy.

WHY MISSION FIRST

Built for the Businesses We Believe In

At Mission First, we believe where purpose meets profit is where the best businesses are built. Your numbers should do more than report the past, they should reflect your mission and drive what comes next. From identifying root issues to building the right systems, we show up as a true partner, not just a firm, because the businesses we serve deserve nothing less.

01

Systems That Scale

We do not just fix what is broken. We build financial and operational infrastructure designed to grow with you, maintained by a dedicated team that treats your business with the same care and rigor every single month.

02

Strategy Rooted in Reality

Good strategy means nothing if it does not connect to how your business actually runs. We bridge the gap between your numbers, your decisions, and your operations so your financial data drives how you lead, structure your team, and grow with intention.

03

A Partner, Not a Vendor

We measure our success by yours. Every engagement is built around your mission, your goals, and the specific challenges in front of you, not a one-size-fits-all deliverable.
