Tommy Ashton

Founder. CPA. Strategic Partner.

Hi, I’m Tommy Ashton — a CPA with over 18 years of corporate accounting and finance experience, specializing in building and scaling accounting operations for growing companies.

I founded Slope to help start-ups and small and mid-sized businesses grow without the constant stress of back-office operations, financial uncertainty, and reactive decision-making. Too many great businesses struggle not because of bad ideas or poor execution, but because they lack clear financial structure and strategic guidance.

That’s where I want to help

My Background

I’ve spent my career building accounting functions, not just maintaining them. My experience comes from real operational environments from companies growing incredibly fast.

Most notably, I served as Head of Accounting at the fintech startup Divvy, where I helped scale the accounting operations from $3M in revenue to over $150M, supporting rapid growth, infrastructure build-out, and operational maturity.

That journey ultimately led to Divvy’s acquisition by BILL.com in a $2.5 billion transaction, where I continued to lead BILL’s accounting operations functions.

My past experience has shaped how I work today:

  • Building scalable financial systems
  • Creating clean, reliable reporting
  • Designing processes that support growth
  • Aligning finance with strategy
  • Preparing companies for scale, investment, and exits

Why I Founded Slope

I started Slope because I love working with founders and owners who are passionate about growing their businesses.

SMBs deserve better.

Slope was built to bring corporate-level financial discipline and strategic thinking to growing businesses without unnecessary complexity or cost. My goal is to give founders the financial clarity and confidence they need to build sustainably.

Small businesses and founders often get one of two options:

  • Basic bookkeeping with no strategic support
  • Expensive enterprise-level services that don’t fit their stage

More Than a Bookkeeper

I don’t believe in transactional relationships.

I care deeply about the success of my clients and their businesses. My goal isn’t just to keep your books clean. It’s to help you build something that lasts.

I work as a:

  • Strategic advisor
  • Financial thought partner
  • Growth planner
  • Risk manager
  • Long-term partner
