From Corporate to Founder: The Journey Behind Pistos Bookkeeping Services

Every successful business has a story. At Pistos Bookkeeping Services, our story begins with a passion for helping small businesses thrive. Founder, Stephen Tsang, embarked on a journey that transformed his corporate career into a fulfilling mission to empower entrepreneurs.

From Corporate to Entrepreneur

Stephen's career began in the service and construction industry, where he honed his skills in accounting and financial planning and analysis (FP&A) over 12 years.

"I've always been drawn to the energy and resilience of small businesses," he recalls. "Seeing them overcome challenges and achieve their goals has always been incredibly rewarding."

While climbing the corporate ladder, Stephen nurtured a side hustle, providing bookkeeping assistance to small businesses with revenues ranging from $250,000 to $25 million. This experience ignited a spark – the desire to dedicate his expertise to helping businesses streamline their finances and unlock their full growth potential.

Overcoming the Leap of Faith

Leaving the security of a corporate job was a daunting leap of faith. Stephen faced the uncertainty of transitioning to self-employment, the challenge of building a sustainable client base, and the constant pressure of balancing his entrepreneurial pursuits with his personal life.

"There were countless late nights and early mornings," he admits. "But the vision of empowering small businesses kept me motivated."
