Ashley Craft, CPA
Ashley Craft is a Florida licensed Certified Public Accountant and the founder of Easy Street Accounting Services. With more than 17 years of accounting experience, she helps small business owners clean up their books, understand their financial reports, prepare for taxes, and make informed decisions about their businesses.
Before opening Easy Street, Ashley built her career in corporate accounting across several industries, including construction, manufacturing, consumer products, and investment management. That experience gave her a strong foundation in financial reporting, reconciliations, accounting systems, and solving complex financial problems. She earned her Bachelor of Business Administration in Accountancy from California State University San Marcos and is a member of the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Ashley founded Easy Street to provide business owners with practical, responsive accounting support without judgment or unnecessary complexity. She believes clients should understand what is happening in their finances, not simply receive reports or tax returns without explanation.
A Florida native and mother of two boys, Ashley understands the realities of balancing business ownership, family, and personal responsibilities. She enjoys traveling, hiking, connecting with other local business owners, and creating a business that supports a meaningful life rather than consuming it.
