Chad Woulters

Chad Wouters, CPA

Managing Partner

Born in Valley Forge, PA and raised in Cary, NC, Chad moved to Wilmington in 1998 and fell in love instantly. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, he knew Wilmington would be his home going forward. In 2006, Chad started working at a local CPA firm and worked his way up to Tax Partner in 2013. Chad is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the North Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants (NCACPA). In 2020, he decided it was time to venture out on his own to develop a more boutique style approach to CPA services. Being a CPA allows Chad to meet business owners and truly understand how the accounting process can be incorporated into strategic planning. Innately a people person, he loves hearing stories and various backgrounds of people. Public accounting allows Chad to merge his passion for business and passion for people into one, becoming a trusted advisor and partner for his clients. Living in Wilmington, Chad fully embraces the coastal life and has a fondness for boating, fishing, or simply hanging out at the beach all day with friends and family. A diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, seeing the Eagles win their first Super Bowl in person is one of his favorite memories.
